  2. ☠️💵 Follow the money: Wall Street banks kept Epstein running

    via Geopolitics Prime on Telegram

    “Senator Ron Wyden’s new report, Looking the Other Way, lays out how major Wall Street banks allegedly enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation by failing to report suspicious transactions for years.

    The report says JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America had evidence of suspicious activity, but protected Epstein from scrutiny while he moved cash and wires around the world.

    The numbers are obscene”

  4. …Federal prosecutors in Atlanta are bringing an #obstruction charge against a #US citizen who gave customs officers what is known as a #duress passcode, which activated software that erased the contents of his #phone.

    The authorities stopped Samuel Tunick, an Atlanta resident, for interrogation at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Int’l Airport as he returned to the US Jan 24 last year, acc/to a Nov grand jury indictment. The authorities seized his phone before allowing him to enter the country.

  6. Others in Blanche’s office led teams responsible for digging up information on hot-button political issues — an #FBI memo to a #conservative Catholic group in Richmond, VA; federal scrutiny of conservative school board members’ & prosecutions of #AntiAbortion activists under the #FACE Act, a 1994 #law that prohibits #obstruction & #intimidation at women's clinics.

  8. This just seems mindbogglingly insulting. Certain members of #Congress are statutorily required to report on any death in custody. The report on #Pretti from #ICE / #CBP doesn't answer most questions that only they, the investigating body, can answer. They have fenced out any other investigator and they essentially tell Congress what the questions, which_they_are_not_answering, are...

  9. In practical effect, this would be a device to transform ICE’s #obstruction into not just a violation of #state #law, but also of a #federal-court order.

    #Criminal #liability by its nature comes too late to stop harms from happening. #States such as #Minnesota should also look to #CivilLaw as a basis for stopping baleful & unlawful #ICE tactics. This also requires some creative thinking—taking a legal tool designed for other purposes & fitting it to our new reality.

  10. #Minnesota, & other #BlueStates, should also enact new laws that make #federal #obstruction harder. The #AlexPretti case shows that #ICE officials were willing to ignore a #state-court #warrant. Perhaps anticipating that, Minnesota officials went to federal court on Saturday, potentially after the scene of Pretti’s #shooting had been compromised, & obtained a temporary restraining order about #evidence preservation. The legal basis for such orders, however, may be fragile.

    #law

  11. When a #shooting victim then dies, penalties in #Minnesota for failing to aid the injured person can involve up to 2 yrs imprisonment.

    In l #AlexPretti’s case, the #obstruction of key #evidence-gathering steps gives #state #prosecutors another potent opening, especially because #ICE agents acted in overt defiance of a #judicial #warrant. Minnesota has a #criminal #ObstructionOfJustice statute that applies to situations in which someone prevents officers from carrying out official duties.

    #law

  12. As a result, key forensic #evidence was almost certainly lost. This comes after state officials were excluded from the investigation into #ReneeGood’s death.

    #Federal #obstruction of #Minnesota’s #criminal investigation merits more creative pushback from the #state: Leaving investigations in the hands of #DHS alone sends a powerful message to #ICE officers.

    #law

  13. “Very lawyerly, he said, ‘Well, it’s close to obstruction.’ If you have public officials, as we do here, making political speech, even if it’s explosive, inflammatory, aggressive, & then that causes people to #protest or to call 911, that is simply not obstruction of justice. If they bring an indictment for #obstruction, I promise you they will lose.”

  14. @cryptadamist For Cambodia, I made criticizing nicknames Concentration Campodia and Chingdom of Scambodia.

    The UK and US embassies mentioned helping to release the journalist Mech Dara are in my opinion hypocritical:
    1) When I visited British embassy in Phnom Penh, I remember they refused to let me in unless I have an appointment by phone or e-mail. How people, whose phone and money was stolen, are supposed to get in to ask for help?
    2) An alleged US citizen complained that he allegedly run out of money and went to US embassy in Phnom Penh for help to pay him a ticket back and promise to pay back the ticket debt later. He claimed they required him to get detained in a foreigner detention centre first which he couldn't, because the detention center required paid COVID test and he had no money. I wrote the embassy a message urging them to stop rejecting the man.
    3) When I visited the US embassy about Khmer-English machine translator I made, to ask if they want to support the work, and if they have large Khmer-English dictionaries in their library, I got a very authoritarian, prison-like impression from the embassy and I remember that they refused to let me in with a smartphone for alleged security reason, I had to keep it in a locker, so I couldn't show them the machine translator, and they also had no Internet inside so they couldn't look on their ownsmartphone, again alleged security reason.

    In my opinion these behaviours are authoritarian and passive aggressive obstructions.

  16. Is anyone surprised.......
    The only reason to blacked out entirely pages is it's easier than actually going through and looking for anything that identifies victims or #DonaldTrump and his billionaire friends.
    There needs to be an investigation into the #DOJ, #PamBondi and #Trumps actions in #Obstruction in releasing the #Epstein files.

  17. Federal prosecutors charged Milwaukee County Circuit Judge #HannahDugan with obstruction, a felony, & concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor, in April. The jury acquitted her on the concealment count, but she still faces up to 5 years in #prison on the #obstruction count.

    The jury returned the verdicts after deliberating for 6 hours. No sentencing date had been set as of late Thursday.
