Executives & lobbyists convicted for participating in an 8 year scheme to bribe Illinois officials, including then Speaker of the House Mike Madigan for Swampy favors for ComEd.

#ButNothingsHappening
Energy company ComEd flipped in July 2020 & provided the evidence to convict their former executives & Madigan's staffers/lobbyists.

This investigation was also targetting AT&T, Walgreens, Rush University, Exelon energy, & others for similar bribery schemes with Madigan's lobbyists.
One ComEd executive took a guilty plea in September 2020 to avoid going to trial.

This conviction relates to the November 2020 indictments of ComEd execs & lobbyists/consultants working for Madigan to accept the bribes on his behalf.
ComEd customers sued them for getting Madigan's permission to raise rates on their customers in Illinois.
A suit paid very quickly that likely avoided a lot of discovery...

In October of 2022, AT&T confessed to their crimes & flipped with an agreement to hand over the #receipts. They paid a $34M fine for bribing Illinois Speaker Madigan.
Madigan & his top aid McClain were also indicted in 2022 on racketeering charges.

Madigan was indicted for going to then future Illinois Governor Pritzger to attempt to secure an appointment to state office for a Chicago Alderman who agreed to send legal business to Pritzger's private law firm as payment.
Biden & AG Garland retained US Attorney Lausch to continue the Swamp draining investigations & prosecutions in Illinois & Chicago that became public in 2018.

Those investigations began about a decade ago & the first Chicago Alderman was flipped in 2014 & wore a wire to talk to Madigan.
This info was used in a 2016 search warrant application that was 'accidentally' filed on PACER without being sealed in 2018.

One of the biggest indictments was Alderman Burke who 'served' Chicago for more than 50 years.
Dems thought it would lead to Trump because he hired Burke as his lawyer to convince Alderman Burke to provide a tax break for Trump's Tower in Chicago.
Of course after forcing Trump to hire him to lobby himself, the FBI then had probable cause to catch Alderman Burke on a wiretap performing an identical shakedown on another business owner!
Alderman Burke's wife was forced to resign as Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court in 2022 also.

Record seizures & arrests for trafficking opioids & fentanyl on the darknet.

It's like the key nodes in the global corruption services industry have all be compromised & are being used against the cartels, organized crime & corrupt officials...
#ButNothingsHappening
Because that is exactly what happened!

Law enforcement seizures of darknet infrastructure provided investigators around the world with leads & evidence! Image
It is amazing how much global drug cartels have been getting destroyed since ADAG Bruce Ohr was relieved of his post as head of OCDETG.

That's a lot of international partners in these investigations! Image

Yep, either LTG Flynn was working for Swamp creature James Woolsey or Flynn was helping FBI investigate Woolsey.

Woolsey is a key player in many of the cases, including the NARA & Trump Presidential Records fight!
The Clinton sock drawer tapes included the discussions about firing then CIA Director Woolsey.

Woolsey & other Swamp Creatures served on the advisory board of a casino in the North Marianas Islands that was laundering Chinese money into the US.
Their job, advise the crooks on how to navigate the Swamp in DC & other places.

It's amazing what happens after you drain the Swamp creatures out of the Swiss AG's office!

#ButNothingsHappening
If you have missed the decade of global swamp draining connected to the 1MDB case, you don't know what the Swamp is, how it works, or how it is being drained.
How serious? Like President Xi offering bribes to President Trump to obstruct the FBI serious...
I can't find anyone reporting the name of the 2 PetroSaud managers. My guesses would be the Obaid brothers, guys I call the Kevin Bacon's of global corruption. From them every Swamp creature on the planet is within 6 degrees of separation.

From 2009-2019 one of the largest tobacco companies in the world used their Singapore subsidiary to sell tobacco to North Korea in violation of sanctions & launder the proceeds of the sales.
Plead guilty & agreed to cooperate with the feds.

#ButNothingsHappening
3 individuals involved have also been indicted but have not yet been captured. One is a North Korean banker & the other 2 are Chinese facilitators. ImageImage
Part of a larger scheme of tobacco related corruption used by the North Korean government to fund other activities including their nuclear weapons program.

I'm guessing DOJ now has the #receipts... Image

The indictment of 40+ Chinese MPS officers is now online.
Very interesting how closely the trolling tactics mirror the techniques we run into with various groups of trolls. Both the Tuesday Trolls of this era & the Cleetuses of a few years ago...

This is from a meme they shared internally.

I'm sure we can find some way to use it on the CCP agents pretending to be MAGA or UltraMAGA or DarkMAGA or whatever the CCP wants to rebrand as... Image
Those accounts trying to tell people that President Xi is secretly on Trump's side & that MAGA should like him...

Yeah... ImageImage

3 sets of charges against Chinese intelligence assets for running a covert operations center in New York City.

Attempting to suppress free speech in the US to help China.
#ButNothingsHappening
This is an expansion on a investigation of agents working for Chinese Ministry of Public Security.

Note: at the beginning of this thread I suspected that the agent was working at Webex, but as I not later in that thread it was Zoom that was compromised.
Charges include efforts to influence the election of a US Congressional race to stop an anti-CCP candidate running for office.
