Interesting, the raid on Rep. Cuellar is not just related to domestic Swamp activity. But to crooks for Azerbaijan & US businessmen who must be the go betweens.
Cuellar was the Chair of the House Azerbaijan Caucus!
Hillary's oppo research man Cody Shearer tried to claim that Trump took a $10M bribe in Baku & became the middleman who arranged trips by members of Congress to meet oligarchs in Azerbaijan!
This was the dossier passed by Blumenthal/ Winer/Steele to FBI
The anti-money laundering team that Comey created at HSBC detected corruption & money laundering between Azerbaijani officials & French oil company Total.
Led to raids on the commodity traders who served as the middleman.
The commodity trader got caught paying off Bank of China with money it owed to HSBC & forging documents.
It borrowed money from HSBC to buy Azeri oil, then paid Bank of China the money from the oil instead of paying back HSBC...
The Azerbaijan officials also were bribing Hungarian officials & a Belgian Senator to the EU Parliament...
You can see why Azerbaijan was such an important hub between Iran & Russia. It is literally between them.
But they had lots of donors flying members of Congress to Baku to educate them about oil & other things...
Baku was such a problem for global corruption, money laundering, sanctions violations & Iranian WMD proliferation networks.
That the FBI had to send their very best undercover asset to Baku to identify the networks for them!
@OCCRP For the past 5 years, the European banks from Danske Bank to Swedbank & Deutsche Bank have been getting rolled & flipped for laundering this money from Azerbaijan & through Russian & Ukrainian oligarchs & politicians.
One of the people involved in illegally funding these Congressional Junkets was arrested in 2018 to face DOJ charges.
Perjury to hide that extractive industry money was behind giving $100s of thousands in gifts to 9 members of Congress & 32 staffers.
This even ties in to the disappearance & death of former FBI agent Bob Levinson. CIA's Directorate of Intel, illegally sent Bob to investigate Iranian money laundering because they did not trust the information CIA's Directorate of Operations was providing
Rep. Cueller made 'historic' partnerships between Texas A&M & Azerbaijan as part of his deals...
Higher Ed Swamp connected to the Political Swamp connected to the Oligarch Swamp connected to the Oil Swamp. Can't wait to see the indictments

Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!
Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!
Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
The term Narco-terrorism has been in use for decades.
Trump's new EO is based on western hemisphere drug cartels converging with hostile governments & other terrorists. Including efforts to control Swamps in countries vital to us.

Trump also includes TdA & MS-13 within the scope of this order. If you're not aware, El Chapo reportedly hired MS-13 to assassinate Donald Trump before he ran for President the 1st time.
Likely in retaliation for Trump helping FBI identify El Chapo's money laundering networks.
Trump has not designated these cartels terrorist organizations, but is ordering the Secretary of State in consultation with Treasury, AG, DHS, & DNI to draw up the list with all cartels that meet the definition within 14 days.
So either he was batshit crazy or the person who fake this email wanted to make him look batshit crazy.
It is possible that they want to use this incident to trick people into thinking their batshit crazy ideas were shared by Livelsberger.
This press conference is discussing a completely different email. But it has been used to convince people, including myself that it was referring to the email in these threads.
