Former Congressman Terrance John “TJ” Cox (D-CA) charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of money laundering, 1 count of financial institution fraud, and 1 count of campaign contribution fraud. #ButNothingsHappening justice.gov/opa/pr/former-…
Seems he was one of 3 directors for a Canadian mining company Constellation Mines until removed from the listing in 2019.
Not finding much on them, that seems suspicious...
Cox was also running a company where he cunsulted companies in making investments in order to get them tax credits for investing in disadvantaged areas of California.
Lots of laundering money between his for profit & nonprofit business enterprises.
An unnamed business partner, the City of Fresno giving him a lease on property, & a lender named Clearinghouse. Was it all fraud or was this something Swampy?
These crimes are while serving in the US Congress!
Campaign finance crimes...
But nothing related to the Canadian mining company...
Which makes me wonder if there is a separate larger investigation.
Can't find much on the company yet. But one of his partners in the company got in trouble in 2016 for violating mining rules in Canada & lost their claims.
The extractive industries are the root of the Swamp, and this case is gold mines no less...
While everyone was watching the latest episode of Trump Crime of the Century of the Week where the FBI pretends they are after Trump while going after criminals Trump helped the FBI catch, seems there was another warrant that will remain sealed... courtlistener.com/docket/6487581…
It's 'unrelated' to the subject matter being discussed in the media & should remain sealed...
The Times Union says it has information & belief that this warrant is related to Trump & Mara Lago. Are they wrong?
Possibly but they felt there information was solid enough that they filed a motion in a federal court to unseal it.
Had illegal links to a Chinese printer technology company, Chinese officials, gave them the identity & movements of an undercover FBI agent, the FBI NYFO Org chart. Got paid in hookers & cash to his parents.
This hacking case is looking more interesting than I thought.
Seems "three hostile foreign actors" were hacking the US court system case document servers.
Their targets? Reading those sealed search warrants & case filings to see where cases were headed. reuters.com/world/us/us-ju…
I had missed this specific hacking issue when it was announced as part of SolarWinds.
The courts went public on 1/6/21 with new procedures requiring that all sealed filings be submitted on paper or thumbdrive instead of filed electronically through PACER. uscourts.gov/news/2021/01/0…
So going after highly sensitive sealed documents, sounds like a key way for the Swamp, criminals & foreign adversaries to identify who is cooperating with the feds & who is under investigation.
Sealed warrants would include wiretaps & other information that could help criminals.
FoxNews contributor Doug Schoen attempting to convince Dems to abandon Biden, the Dem candidate that Trump wanted to run against as insurance to continue draining the Swamp.
Schoen played roles helping Manafort frame Trump, Obama & Biden to help Hillary. thehill.com/opinion/campai…
Schoen played key roles helping oligarch Victor Pinchuk influence the DC Swamp in both parties.
But Pinchuck’s friendship with the Clinton’s runs deep.
Schoen even used Michael Cohen & some donations from Pinchuk to get Donald Trump to speak to his Swampy foundation after he announced his candidacy in 2015.
Just to help dirty up Trump for taking donations from an oligarch with relations with Putin.
So for several days, I've been making fun of this liberal who pretends to be UltraMAGA.
He's what Rush used to call a Seminar Caller, trained how to pretend to be a conservative to sow discord & try to convince us to believe ridiculous things to make us look foolish or extremist.
They use techniques claim they are MAGA in this case, by using written talking points designed to trigger emotional responses in conservatives.
I hate the same people you hate, I love the same people you love, etc.
As Rush used to put it, they would say they agree with you on everything using their TP, but their TPs are obvious if you don't get emotional.
We toy with them because they then run through their entire list to try & trick us that they are MAGA. This HRC lover used over 100!
