“The Government Is in on it”: An Insider’s Account of the Reza Zarrab Conspiracy
Reza Zarrab, a Turkish money launderer who was arrested by the US for aiding in sanctions evasion.
The story details how Zarrab and his family used gold-for-cash schemes to funnel billions into Iran.
Reza Zarrab poses next to stacks of currency in his Istanbul office in this undated photo that was introduced as evidence in the trial of Halkbank executive Hakan Atilla.
Key allegations by the ex-courier:
- Ex-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was implicated in Zarrab’s scheme.
- Erdoğan’s son-in-law Berat Albayrak helped open a bank account for Zarrab.
- Zarrab’s family ties to the money moving business run deep.
The claim about Berat Albayrak particularly interests U.S. Senator @RonWyden, who has been probing Trump’s suspected meddling in the Zarrab case since October.
Senator Wyden’s reaction to the findings:
“This is outrageous.”
“In the big picture, all evidence points to President Trump interfering in a criminal investigation and sanctions enforcement as a favor to President Erdogan.”
Here we go again.
Secret U.S. government documents reveal that JPMorgan Chase, HSBC and other big banks have defied money laundering crackdowns by moving staggering sums of illicit cash for shadowy characters and criminal networks that have spread chaos and undermined democracy around the world.
JPMorgan also processed more than $50 million in payments over a decade, the records show, for Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump. The bank shuttled at least $6.9 million in Manafort transactions in the 14 months after he resigned from the campaign amid a swirl of money laundering and corruption allegations spawning from his work with a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine.

I think it was my fourth post on the second Q thread when I expressed this exact sentiment.
2 1/2 years and 4500+ posts later and I’m still not sure.
But man what a show!
oh I agree wholeheartedly!

Well, we came back strong after the civil war. It wasn't pretty and it took a long time...but.... All empires die eventually, but I believe in the power of hope and goodness seated deep in the depths of most people's soul.
A light like that may dim occasionally, but it will never go out.

Dems threaten to pack Supreme Court if Trump gets nominee confirmed
www.foxnews.com...
McConnell was just given the green light to abolish the filibuster rule and pack the Supreme Court. Add in 3 Trump picks before the election. Then go full MAGA in the second term.
Game. Set. Match.
