Confirmation that Rudy was working as a CHS for FBI & DOJ when approaching Ukrainians & Russian spies behind them.
FBI & DOJ used news articles about Rudy's activity in the warrant to collect the #receipts Rudy gathered. Didn't mention his CHS interviews! emptywheel.net/2023/12/29/rud…
As I have been pointing out for several years, Rudy was a witness not a target of that investigation.
#ButNothingsHappening
The FBI refused to provide Rudy's 302s (if they were 302s) with NY SAC William Sweeney.
Likely because sharing Rudy's status as a CHS would complicate the effort to have the NY FBI affiant sig the warrant affidavit. If the agent doesn't know Rudy's a CHS, he can't tell the court.
Remember at this time, FBI & DOJ are still hunting for a suspected Russian mole in the NY FBI office. I bet they didn't want that mole to learn that Rudy was catching his Russian employers.
While Emptywheel tries to blame this on Barr his team.
She can't understand why AG Merrick Garland's DOJ wouldn't want the NY office to have the evidence of Rudy's cooperation with the FBI & DOJ.
It's because cooperation doesn't belong in parenthesis.
The people on the left & the right both believed that FBI & DOJ were out to get Rudy.
When DOJ told us 2 1/2 years ago that Rudy wasn't a target of the investigation. He had collected the evidence that needed attorney client privilege review by a court appointed special master.
Rudy's cooperation with FBI & DOJ against Parnas & others was revealed in May of 2021 in court filings in the special master appointment case.
Of course the court appointed a former judge who as a prosecutor worked with Rudy & Trump to put mobsters away.
It is great to see people on the eve of 2024 catching up to what I found in May of 2021. Now if only they would believe what they read without applying a fake news filter to it first!
Wait until you figure out it was Swampy Republicans, not Democrats, who pushed the false claims about Trump raping one of Epstein's victims because she reminded him of his teenage daughter.
I am going to break down the OIG report on FBI SAC of NYC Counterintelligence section & link it to other cases including #Spygate & the #RussiaHoax.
If you don't know yet, Trump & others were helping FBI hunt a Russian mole in FBI, Hillary told you a hoax. oig.justice.gov/sites/default/…
This investigation began by at least 2010, when someone within FBI tipped the Russians off that FBI was tracking Russian illegal agents working in the US.
Why warn the Russians? The FBI & Russian spies were getting close to the Clintons & DNC fundraising.
While none of this is covered in the report, the FBI mole hunters at FBI started investigating to identify the new Russian spies being sent to NYC. But to find the mole, you need an asset borrowed from another agency that the FBI agents don't know.
Male-1 playing a consultant.
Ukraine became defenseless. Then Clinton rigged the 1996 Russian election to ensure Yeltsin won. Later, Clinton & Blair would rig the 2000 election for Putin. Then Blair would rig the 2004 election for Putin.
That Swampy “WE” was at risk of being exposed by money laundering investigations tracking the billion dollars a day flying from NYC to Moscow.
Yeltsin & Clinton agree to have FBI Dir Freeh protect Gore & Putin’s 2000 election campaigns by shutting it down.
If you are just learning about the Swamp creature named Leonard Leo & his control of ‘conservative’ judges who work for Fortune 500 multinational corporations instead of the American people; now is your chance to catch up.
#ButNothingsHappening
Leo’s friends then use your fake news to tell you that you should blindly support judicial rulings disguised as protecting the Constitution. When in reality, they are protecting Swampy relationships between corrupt companies & the politicians they own.
Why does your fake news want MAGA to support judges controlled by ’sleazeball’ Leonard Leo?
Because they believe that it’s very important that you support the judges who work for the Swamp.
How do they control them? Consulting fees, gifts & trips.
Gone are the days of German leaders from East Germany, weakening NATO by not spending their agreed upon defense budget.
Gone are the days fo German politicians buying energy from Russia & taking Swampy deals & well paid seats on Russian company boards.
Credit Suisse pleads guilty & flips for helping 475 US account holders hide billions from the IRS in off-shore accounts.
They have also signed a deferred prosecution agreement for other crimes & agreed to cooperate!
Crimes from 2010-2021!
#ButNothingsHappening
Credit Suisse will pay $510M in fines & penalties in addition to the guilty plea.
After corrupt bankers collapsed Credit Suisse, UBS bought them & are now also forced to comply with the cooperation agreement!
It's a 2 for 1 special!
The reason for the requirement to plead guilty is likely because when they committed these crimes, they were under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement signed in 2014 that required their cooperation.
They didn't think DOJ would hold them to it!
