I really appreciated this convo with @SenatorShaheen about the need for the US to enact requirements for company formation agents in secrecy jurisdictions like South Dakota + Nevada and elsewhere to monitor what their LLCs are doing!

The ENABLERS Act is a fantastic first step. Registered agents don’t need any kind of training and don’t operate under any reporting requirements. They can set up dozens of LLCs for their kleptocratic clients and have 0 obligation to track what the LLCs are doing.

Wow. Ginni Thomas repeatedly pressed Meadows to overturn the election. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/… Bob Woodward with the byline.

So why was Manafort going to Dubai in the first place? The passport thing has a plausible explanation (TSA/Passport checks suck and take a lot of time) but the underlying question: Was Manafort going to Dubai to meet with his Russian financiers?
