The worlds Swampiest commodities firm Glencore warns investors it is setting aside $1.5 Billion to pay fines in the US, UK & Brazil over corruption!
Glencore was run for 40+ years by Marc Rich of Clinton Pardon infamy.
They're connected to Russiagate too #ButNothingsHappening
Glencore connects to almost every Swamp on the planet, which is why Clinton had to pardon Marc Rich to sabotage decades of cases prior to 2001.
But they kept doing the same deals, including involvement in Chad.
I probably have 100 threads that touch on Glencore, ut their basic M.O. is to bribe 3rd world dictators for natural resources as middle man to big corporations. Then use the money to buy the foreign policy establishment to protect the dictators they buy.
Breaking!
Neustar's access to government networks was worse than we thought!
And I thought they had everything!
It appears Neustar was subcontracted for EOP by Verisign, Inc. who had the federal contract to provide DNS services for ALL .gov websites! #ButNothingsHappening
Verisign Inc. was providing DNS services for the entire .gov system under a contract with GSA.
The earliest contract that makes clear that they are managing the .gov domain for the federal government is in 2010 or 2011, but there are contracts earlier. usaspending.gov/award/CONT_AWD…
Here is the contract from 2016 that was recently extended until June of 2022.
In 2014 when Neustar got access to do DNS services at the Executive Office of the President, Verisign was the contractor for all .gov domains. If Neustar was a subcontractor, it was for Verisign.
Durham then takes a shot at the fake news people on both the left & the right who have "overstated, understated, or misinterpreted facts" from his motion!
As expected, Sussmann's attorney's filed their motion for dismissal today.
Focusing on the materiality of his lies to the FBI, it's not going to work but this is meant for public consumption not the judge.
Let's see if he forces Durham to reveal more! courtlistener.com/docket/6039058…
But Sussmann did provide a false tip, the Alfa Bank information was false. At a minimum Sussmann knew the results were misleading & he was attempting to get the FBI to investigate Trump so he could leak that to the media & influence the 2016 election.
Judges almost always leave these decision to the trial & don't dismiss cases before the evidence is presented.
Another example of the #CollegeAdmission scandal revealing parents that may be linked to other crime.
Gamal Abdelaziz was convicted of bribery for admissions.
But he's a Wynn Casino exec who used to run their Macau casino. Macau is a Chinese money laundering hub.
Wow, Charlie Savage saying @nytimes readers aren't smart enough to understand the issues so they aren't covering it up. They just aren't covering it because their readers can't handle the truth because it is too complex.
So just tell them a fairy tale that it is misinformation.
@nytimes Where it gets interesting is that it is NYT's who started the story that Sussmann gave the CIA information from spying upon the White House.
Were they throwing Sussmann under the bus to distract from a bigger story?
This could all be false information trying to spin the NYTimes. But the researchers are claiming they were spying on the Obama White House, not the Trump White House, so why take that to CIA in Feb. 2017?
