  6. Giuffra’s efforts on Adani’s behalf culminated in a previously unreported meeting last month at the #DOJ’s headquarters in Washington…. Giuffra ticked through ~100 slides outlining why prosecutors lacked basic evidence, as well as the jurisdiction to bring the case….

    Another slide also offered the government a sweetener [#bribe]: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the US #economy & create 15,000 jobs….

  11. In the US, oligarchs are still accumulating their wealth with impunity. More to the point, nobody is yet trying very hard to stop them.

  13. According to an August 2 report in The Washington Post,
    the U.S. Department of Justice #previously #investigated whether
    💥Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi had illegally donated $10 million to then-candidate Trump prior to his 2016 election. 💥

    The probe was eventually ♦️shut down by Trump’s political appointees, ♦️who “rejected efforts to search for additional evidence investigators believed might provide answers.”

    The criminal investigation had begun after intelligence indicated that ⭐️Sisi “sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign,”
    and ramped up when federal investigators learned of ⭐️a $10 million withdrawal from a Cairo bank that occurred just days prior to Trump’s inauguration. ⭐️

    Ultimately, according to The Post, the case was #shut #down by then-acting U.S. attorney #Michael #Sherwin (who had been appointed to the position by Trump Attorney General #William #Barr). 
    
👉Despite the seriousness of the allegations, ABC, NBC, and CBS all seemingly failed to cover the reporting on their evening, morning, and Sunday broadcast news shows.👈
    
Among five of the top U.S. newspapers, the probe into potential bribery was referenced in just 3 online articles and 3 print articles, for a total of 4 unique articles
    (2 print articles were also published online).
    
Of the 5 papers we reviewed, it appears only The Washington Post and The New York Times published articles referencing the #potential #bribe.
    The Post published 2 print articles and 2 online articles that mentioned the probe (3 unique articles in total), including the original reporting that brought the investigation to light,
    while The Times published 1 print article and 1 online article (1 unique article in total).
    
The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal seemingly did not publish ANY articles referencing the probe into whether or not 🔥Trump illegally accepted money from Egypt.🔥
    
⚠️This lack of coverage from broadcast and print outlets is just the latest example of national news outlets failing to cover Trump's suspicious ties to foreign countries.⚠️

    Remember when bribery was illegal? That was before the nazi in chief of the fascist states of america declared that it was a smart move to let a foreign government give you an airplane as a present. Our new air force one, which will stop being air force one and become trump’s personal plane once he leaves office, assuming he leaves office before he dies.

    Yeah, this country fucking sucks. Can you imagine if Barack Obama told the public he was taking a passenger jet as a gift from an Islamic nation? Fucking fascists.

    Change of subject. Two things to look forward to this week. First, I have my three year post-gastric bypass surgery check in at the weight loss clinic. I expect them to tell me that I am the greatest patient they have ever had, and that no patient they’ve dealt with has ever had suck overwhelming success with their post-op program. I am hoping for a plaque or something to honor me.

    Of infinitely greater importance, my step son Harry is going to graduate from the University of Vermont this weekend. I am so proud I am so proud I am so proud I am so proud. Did I mention how proud I am? We’ll be heading up there after work on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. I don’t know if you can tell by the context of this paragraph, but I am really proud of Harry.

    Okay, Robert. Back to work with you.

  20. 1/3 German opera mocks Trump, headed to Switzerland. "Monster's Paradise" from Eine Grand Guignol Opera, world premier at Hamburg State Opera's Main Stage Theatre Feb 1-19. Music - Olga Neuwirth, libretto - Elfrieda Jelinek, direction - Tobias Kratzer.
    I love the permanent Melania (lamp) in the golden Oval Office replete with Diet Coke cave. [Link to opera footage in 3rd of 3.]

  21. Oh, I had forgotten about the midterm elections voter bribe & $ 1.5T military budget blackmail combo that is the "Trump Account".

    Nice touch to have Robinhood involved. The headlines write themselves.

  22. The documents obtained by NYT include confidential #State Department correspondence & a funding memo, which connects the money transfer [#bribe] to the #Cameroon #deportation arrangement. The files, coupled with confirmation from officials, reveal how the #US government used financial pressure [#extortion] & political incentives to secure a deal that the deportees’ lawyer compared to “selling people.” [#slavery]

  23. So if you were wondering why Bezos was willing to sink $75 million into the melaina "I am eva braun" movie here is what $75 million get you

    It saved Amazon 9 BILLION dollars this year alone

    "Republicans’ tax cuts shaved billions off Amazon’s tax bill, new government filings show.

    The company says it ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, and even as its profits jumped by 45 percent to nearly $90 billion."

    Let that sink in: They Paid 1.2 billion ON 90 BILLION in profit THAT IS A TAX RATE of 1.3%

  25. (“A big fat #bribe” is how the late-night host Stephen Colbert characterized CBS’s $16 million #settlement to #Trump, shortly before his own #CBS show was canceled; CBS called the cancellation “purely a financial decision.”) And so you can’t see #AskEJean, but you have no end of options this weekend when it comes to watching a “documentary” about the current first lady, Melania: Twenty Days to History

  26. “This Court has been extremely patient with respondents, even though respondents decided to send thousands of agents to #Minnesota to detain aliens without making any provision for dealing with the hundreds of habeas petitions & other lawsuits that were sure to result,” the judge wrote.

    The order comes a day after #Trump ordered #bribe taker #TomHoman to take over his #immigration crackdown in MN following the 2nd #murder this month of person at the hands of an immigration officer.

  28. As many as 15% of people in #Lithuania have given a #bribe for medical services in recent years, a #poll showed. Lithuania's Special Investigation Service said that #corruption in the #healthcare sector persisted due to cultural myths and low pay.

  30. The ten biggest #TechCompanies spend three(!) times more for lobbying than the top 10 spenders of #pharma #finance #automotive industries which are known for having very effective #lobbying.

    Next time you complain about the oh so bad #pharma industry, don't do it on the platforms of the #MegaCorps whose greed you're feeding. 😉
