🚨A "career" DOJ prosecutor on January 21 dismissed a case against a major Dem donor the FBI said engaged in a $150M fraud involving a green-energy firm.
The damning fact pattern suggests the "acting" US attorney may have tried to erase a big Dem scandal before Trump took over.
Acting US Attorney McNally of the Central District of CA dismissed the case against Ibrahim AlHusseini Jan 21 even though
-Jan 10, a judge held him in contempt for donating to Dem pols instead of paying what he owes
-Jan 8, a bench warrant was issued after AlHusseini missed court
AlHusseini allegedly transferred $300M to Saudi Arabia immediately after causing an investor to lose $150M via fake financial docs. He was held in jail as a flight risk until CodePink founder Jodie Evans put up her home as bail. Evans also no-showed Jan 7 after being subpoenaed.
McNally would not explain why he dropped charges. Trump's DOJ could reinstate them, but bail was also dropped, giving AlHusseini the chance to leave the country first. (He was arrested initially at the airport, and listed his address as Lebanon in court docs.)
AlHusseini would not tell me whether he's already left the country or say he'd agree to come back if re-charged. One of his lawyers claimed that DOJ went further than just dropping the case, and that "all records related thereto have been destroyed.”
The case had the potential to grow into a broader one that might have implicated another powerful California Dem and expose a "green" company involved in carbon-credits as a massive scam. AlHusseini's alleged fraud had to do with Aspiration Inc., and its co-founder Joe Sanberg.
Aspiration was supposed to be progressives' alternative to evil Wall Street companies. But there are indications that as AlHusseini and Sanberg tried to take it public, Sanberg may have chased a $2B valuation by creating fake revenue, in addition to lying about its green impact.
Long story worth reading because it sheds light on whether the DOJ's "independence" really means a Democrat protection racket, whether carbon-credit trading, etc. is just money laundering, and whether the Squad's benefactor could be a Saudi fugitive:
You ain't seen nothin' yet on the Ohio home health fiasco. Part 2 drops now!
One landlord alone owns 7 buildings in Columbus containing 288 Medicaid firms that billed a quarter billion dollars.
And boy, do the characters who are (supposed to be) inside have stories.
A Somali politician found what he called “the true American dream” in Medicaid, running a home health Medicaid business on the side of a different full-time job, while raising 9 kids. It billed $11 million (some after he sold it), and he didn't even mention it in his campaign bio
Another tenant filed for bankruptcy in 2012, saying he had just $400 to his name. Things changed the next year: All he had to do was incorporate an LLC in Ohio. In May 2024, his company had 16 patients and received $84,000 from Medicaid that month, according to federal data.
94 Medicaid "home health" companies purport to occupy this office building, taking more than $66 million of your money. They provide free butlers to immigrants.
"No windows on the outside hides the fact that there's no one on the inside." There's an entire street of these.
Ohio now spends a BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR on "home health," mostly "personal services" like housekeeping. This includes people getting paid to provide "companionship & conversation" to their own relatives. Fraud almost impossible to prove because service happens in private houses.
Home health was supposed to save money because it's cheaper than being in a nursing home. Problem is, no one fakes their way into a nursing home. But lots of people will claim to be sick if they get to stay at home and get free checks for their family.
Incredible: Gov. Spanberger (D-VA) told localities NOT to post pictures of the gerrymandered maps that people were voting on, saying they should direct people to the General Assembly's website if they wanted to know. But the General Assembly doesn't seem to show the maps either!
Despite asking people to vote in making a 52-48 state have 91-9 representation in Congress, the 'redistricting' page on the GA's website hasn't been updated in years, and just links to the Redistricting Commission--which the amendment does away with, and also has only old maps.
I've spent a while looking at the GA's website, Dept of Elections, etc, and have not found the maps prominently available on any public source. If they are there at all, they're not where voters could reasonably find them. Here's the state advising counties not to post the maps:
A Virginia defense contractor, led by a white woman Democrat donor, got a contract thanks to racial preference laws for Native Alaskans. Then it subcontracted it to a different company owned by her very white husband.
Does the Alaskan Native Corporation program still make sense?
ASRC CEO Jennifer Felix, who lives in a $4M mansion in Loudoun County, is married to Ken Felix, who worked for a company called B&B, which received a subcontract from ASRC. Then Ken was terminated, started a new company, and ASRC moved the contract to it.
A lawsuit said Ken Felix had a knack for using others' minority status to make money, also doing the work for a different business that used its woman-owned status to win contracts.
🚨Kristi Noem told Congress the $200M ad contract "went out to a competitive bid" with a winner picked by career officials. But only 3 hand-picked companies were allowed to bid: a firm that subbed to a Noem aide's spouse; one linked to Lewandowski; & Trump influencer Erica Knight
DHS said it reviewed "websites" & "industry articles" to determine that these companies were the only ones who could quickly run a $200M ad campaign. But Knight doesn't even do TV ads, one company has an empty web page and disconnected phone; and the other was created days prior.
@AudreyFahlberg reported that Trump is considering ousting Noem after she claimed Trump approved a $200M ad campaign starring herself, purported aimed at the illegal immigrants who watch Fox News (?!). These documents raise more serious questions
A DC-area mosque pledged its loyalty to the Iranian dictator “martyred” by the US. Its membership views Khamenei, not America’s elected representatives, as “our leader.”
The daughter of the mosque’s leader reposted a pledge that “resistance fighters” would be born to avenge against the “demonic transgressive empire” America.
I previously wrote about Atefeh Rokhvand, the daughter of the imam, the founder of Teachers Against Genocide who a DC judge ordered to pay a rabbi for falsely accusing him of a crime because he prayed outside the Israeli embassy.
