Feds Bust Democrat L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar for Corruption
3:15
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested L.A. City Councilman Jose Huizar (D) on Tuesday morning for corruption, alleging that he had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and treated his office like a “criminal enterprise.”
A press release from the U.S. Department of Justice read, in part:
Special agents with the FBI this morning arrested Jose Huizar, an elected member of the Los Angeles City Council, on a federal racketeering charge that alleges he led a criminal enterprise that used his powerful position at City Hall to solicit and accept lucrative bribes and other financial benefits to enrich himself and his close associates in exchange for Huizar taking official actions favorable to the developers and others who financed and facilitated the bribes.Huizar, 51, of Boyle Heights, was taken into custody at his home without incident and is expected to make his initial appearance this afternoon in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles.Huizar was arrested pursuant to a federal criminal complaint filed on June 22 and unsealed this morning. The complaint charges Huizar with one count of conspiring to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and alleges that, as part of the criminal enterprise, he and his associates violated a series of laws, including bribery, honest services fraud, extortion and money laundering.“This case pulled back the curtain on rampant corruption at City Hall,” said United States Attorney Nick Hanna. “Councilman Huizar violated the public trust to a staggering degree, allegedly soliciting and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from multiple sources over many years. Using the power of his office to approve or stall large building projects, Huizar worked through a web of other corrupt city officials, lobbyists, consultants and developers to line his pockets and maintain his hold on Council District 14, which he turned into a money-making criminal enterprise that shaped the development landscape in Los Angeles.”
Huizar represents downtown Los Angeles. The DOJ alleges that he solicited bribes from developers, particularly Chinese developers, who sought his help in speeding their way through the planning procedures of the city.
In 2014, Breitbart News reported that the city settled a sexual harassment lawsuit in which Huizar was alleged to have carried on a romantic affair with his deputy chief of staff.
Huizar has also been one of the city’s leading officials on the topic of homelessness, as his district includes the notorious Skid Row. The homeless population in L.A. County has exploded in recent years, rising 13% last year.

Biden was enriching
more family members than just Hunter
On
January 21, Peter Schweizer’s newest book, Profiles
in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive Elite, will be released.
It should sell well given that pre-sales have already put it at #14 on the
Amazon charts. As a preview of coming attractions, the New York Post published
an extract from the book detailing “How five members of Joe Biden’s
family got rich through his connections.”
According
to Schwiezer, Biden was fibbing when he announced last year, “I never talked
with my son or my brother or anyone else — even distant family — about their
business interests. Period.” The truth is that Biden’s business conversations
not only benefited Hunter, they also benefitted Biden’s son-in-law Howard, his
brothers James and Frank, and his sister Valerie. Loose lips enrich sibs.
James
Biden was a welcome friend in the Obama White House. “Sometimes, James’ White
House visits dovetailed with his overseas business dealings, and his commercial
opportunities flourished during his brother’s tenure as vice president.” For
example, just three weeks after Biden’s longtime friend Kevin Justice,
president of HillStone International, a subsidiary of a huge construction
management firm, visited the White House, HillStone announced that James Biden
was its new Executive Vice President.
No
one cared that Biden had no experience in construction management. What might
have mattered was that, six months later, the firm got a contract to build
100,000 homes in Iraq, plus a $22 million U.S. federal government contract to
manage a State Department project. An executive in the parent company later
told investors it helped to have the vice president’s brother as a partner.
The
book excerpt also tells how Hunter -- a man known for drugs, alcohol, taking up
with his brother’s widow, fathering a child on a stripper, dumping the stripper
and his child, and marrying another woman –made bank in Ukraine thanks to
his father’s connections. It’s a complicated, unsavory story, but the bottom
line is the same as for James: Hunter got an immensely profitable job for which
he was completely unqualified because Biden allowed Hunter to piggyback
off of Biden’s connections.
When
it came to his kids, Biden didn’t stop with Hunter. His daughter, Ashley,
married a doctor, Howard Krein. Howard and his siblings open StartUp Health, an
investment consultancy firm. In 2011, when the firm had just opened, two of the
firm’s executives were invited to meet with Obama and Biden. The next day, this
barely hatched entity hit the big time:
The following day the new company would be
featured at a large health care tech conference being run by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and StartUp Health executives
became regular visitors to the White House, attending events in 2011, 2014 and
2015.
How did StartUp Health gain access to the highest
levels of power in Washington? There was nothing particularly unique about the
company, but for this:
The chief medical officer of StartUp Health,
Howard Krein, is married to Joe Biden’s youngest
daughter, Ashley.
For
years after, including his years in the White House, Biden made a point of
promoting the company.
James
also wasn’t the only one of his siblings Biden helped. In March 2009, Biden
went to Costa Rica. The last time a high-ranking American official went to
Costa Rica was in 1997 when Bill Clinton traveled there. Biden’s trip may not
have been a coincidence:
Joe Biden’s trip to Costa Rica came at a
fortuitous time for his brother Frank, who was busy working deals in the
country. Just months after Vice President Biden’s visit, in August, Costa Rica
News announced a new multilateral partnership “to reform Real Estate in Latin
America” between Frank Biden, a developer named Craig Williamson, and the
Guanacaste Country Club, a newly planned resort.
[snip]
As it happened, Joe Biden had been asked by
President Obama to act as the Administration’s point man in Latin America and
the Caribbean.
Frank’s vision for a country club in Costa Rica
received support from the highest levels of the Costa Rican government— despite
his lack of experience in building such developments. He met with the Costa
Rican ministers of education and energy and environment, as well as the
president of the country.
The
same amazing coincidences played out with Biden’s sister Valerie, to whom his
campaigns ended up paying $2.5 million in consulting fees in 2008 alone.
Considering
that the New York Post article is merely a short excerpt
from Peter Schweizer’s Profiles in Corruption, readers can expect to
be exposed to a massive, but readable data dump, explaining how taxpayer funds
and political connections have been funding the lifestyles of the rich and
progressive.
NY Post: ‘Profiles in Corruption’ Reveals How the ‘Biden Five’ Made Millions
Off Joe Biden Connections
18 Jan 20202,346
1:47
Five family members of former Vice
President Joe Biden have scored “sweetheart deals” and “favorable access” thanks
to their connection to the 2020 Democrat White House candidate, reveals the
forthcoming investigative book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of
Power by America’s Progressive Elite by five-time New York Times bestselling author
and Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.
The Biden family’s apparent
self-enrichment involves no less than five family members: Joe’s son Hunter,
son-in-law Howard, brothers James and Frank, and sister Valerie.
When this subject came up in 2019,
Biden declared, “I never talked with my son or my brother or anyone else — even
distant family — about their business interests. Period.”
As we will see, this is far from the
case…
Joe Biden’s younger brother, James,
has been an integral part of the family political machine from the earliest
days when he served as finance chair of Joe’s 1972 Senate campaign, and the two
have remained quite close. After Joe joined the U.S. Senate, he would bring his
brother James along on congressional delegation trips to places like Ireland,
Rome and Africa.
When Joe became vice president,
James was a welcomed guest at the White House, securing invitations to such
important functions as a state dinner in 2011 and the visit of Pope Francis in
2015. Sometimes, James’ White House visits dovetailed with his overseas business
dealings, and his commercial opportunities flourished during his brother’s
tenure as vice president.
Report:
James Biden Secured $500,000 Loan from Healthcare Firm Under Federal
Investigation
10 Mar 2020123
6:12
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s younger brother James is being
accused of securing a big-money loan from a healthcare company now under
federal investigation and facing bankruptcy.
James, who has a
history of muddled financial dealings, reportedly used his political ties to
convince executives at Americore Health, a rural healthcare firm, to loan him
$650,000. The younger Biden, who worked for the company between 2017 and 2019,
got the personal loan after helping Americore secure an even bigger bridge loan
from a hedge fund run by one of his associates, Michael Lewitt. According to
court documents and former Americore executives, James Biden convinced the
firm’s leadership to sign off on both by promising he would be able to secure
larger investments from Middle Eastern contacts thanks to his family’s name.
“In 2017 and 2018, James Biden was embarking on a foray into
health care investing, telling potential partners, including at Americore, that
his last name could open doors and that Joe Biden was excited about the public
policy implications of their business models, according to court filings and
interviews with James’ former business contact,” Politico reported on Monday.
A former Americore executive, Tom Pritchard, told Politico that shortly
after James Biden received the $650,000 personal loan, his day-to-day role in
the firm decreased.
“Jim needed to lay
low because his brother was possibly running for president, and he didn’t need
any bad press,” Pritchard said.
Meanwhile, without
investment incoming, Americore struggled under already tight finances to make
its model for the acquisition of rural hospitals work. The cause would
eventually fail, with the company being forced to file bankruptcy in December
2019.
Americore’s poor
financial shape is only one side of the story. The firm is also under federal
investigation after a lawsuit filed in Tennessee in July 2019 alleged Americore
and its leadership of fraud.
Michael Frey and
his business partner, Dr. Mohannad Azzam, brought the suit claiming James Biden
and his associates promised and failed to line up investors for their rural
healthcare enterprise. Instead, the suit alleges, James Biden urged the two men
to borrow $10 million from a hedge fund manager involved in the deal and then
proceeded to pass their idea off as his own to a conglomerate of Turkish
investors.
“The lawsuit takes direct aim at Biden, painting him as a con
artist who uses his ties to his brother — now a Democratic candidate for
president — to lure his victims,” the Knoxville
News Sentinel reported.
According to
documents filed with the U.S. District Court, Frey and his wife developed a
business model to take over rural hospitals and retrofit them to not only offer
traditional hospital care, but also drug addiction and mental health treatment.
After incorporating the enterprise as Diverse Medical Management, they brought
on Azzam, “who contracted with nursing homes to provide medical care for
seniors.”
The business model
was lucrative enough that by 2017, Frey and Azzam were actively pitching it to
investors and hospitals across the country. One investor particularly taken
with the idea was Americore.
At the behest of Americore CEO Grant White, Frey and Azzam were urged to
pitch their business plan to rural hospitals in Kentucky. It was at one such
meeting where the two men met James Biden, who identified himself as a “principal”
at Americore.
Not long after
their initial encounter, James Biden introduced the men to Lewitt, a hedge fund
manager and well-known “credit strategist.” Around this time, Americore made
plans to buy Diverse Medical for the sum of $7 million.
Despite the deal,
Americore quickly fell behind on its scheduled payments to Frey and Azzam. It
was then that James Biden and Lewitt, as detailed in the lawsuit, hatched
a plan to oust White and sell Americore along with Diverse Medical to a third
company called the Platinum Group. Frey and Azzam appear to have been
uncomfortable with the turn the deal took, especially the notion of removing
White. The men, though, went along with the plan after being told a payout was
“imminent.”
“They repeatedly
assured (Frey) that investment capital originating from and flowing through
foreign entities was not only certain, but was imminent,” documents filed by
Frey and Azzam’s attorney state.
This is not the first time that James Biden’s business dealings
have raised eyebrows. As Breitbart News reported in January,
James Biden received more than $1.5 billion in government-backed contracts
during the Obama administration. The revelations were first extensively
detailed in Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by
America’s Progressive Elite—a new book by Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart
News and president of the Government Accountability Institute.
In 2010, fresh off
a disastrous attempt at running a Wall Street hedge fund, James Biden joined
HillStone International as executive vice president. The newly founded company
was run by Kevin Justice, a longtime family friend of the Bidens. Under
Justice’s leadership, HillStone International was setting out to pursue construction
and technology projects, especially those being funded by the U.S. government
in Iraq.
Hiring James, who
had neither experience in construction nor international development, seemed to
be a big part of the company’s strategy to secure such projects. When
announcing the hire, HillStone touted the political connections James had built
up through helping run his older brother’s political campaigns.
Six months after
James was hired, the company received a contract, estimated to be worth upwards
of $1.5 billion, to build more than 100,000 homes in Iraq. As a minority
partner in the firm, James would have been eligible to split more than $735
million in profits upon the contract’s completion.
Peter
Schweizer Unveils the Layers of Corruption Behind the Biden Family
Volume 90%
31 Jan 202023
8:59
Despite former Vice President Joe
Biden’s image of being a fighter for the working class, he has actually engaged
in behavior that benefitted himself and his family members to the tune of
millions of dollars in shady business deals, according to an interview with
Government Accountability Institute (GAI) president and Breitbart News senior
contributor Peter Schweizer, author of the new book Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of Power by America’s Progressive
Elite.
Schweizer, in an interview on
Wednesday with SiriusXM’s Breitbart
News Daily with host Alex Marlow, said that dichotomy is
represented by Biden being known for riding Amtrak home every day but also by
his habit of holding up the train whenever he was running late.
“Yeah, Joe does ride the train all
the time, but if Joe’s running late, Joe calls Amtrak, and they hold the entire
train until Joe shows up, which is great for Joe [but] the other commuters are
probably going, ‘What the heck’s going on? Why is the train not
moving?'” Schweizer said. “So that to me represents the dichotomy between
the image we have of Joe, which is Amtrak Joe, and the reality of how he abuses
that power.”
Schweizer discussed several examples
of Biden’s abuses of power he laid out in his book.
He said after Biden became vice
president and the point person on China, his son Hunter Biden began to benefit
from deals with the Chinese government. He said:
You have this situation where Joe
Biden becomes vice president of the United States. He is the point person on
China, he’s somewhat of an old hand on China because he’s on the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee all those years, traveled to China. He becomes vice
president and then suddenly, sort of out of the blue, his son Hunter gets these
deals courtesy of the Chinese government.
As Schweizer detailed in a previous
book, Secret Empires,
Hunter Biden in 2012 inked a $1.5 billion deal with
a subsidiary of the state-owned Bank of China to create a private equity fund
called Bohai Harvest RST — only 12 days after he visited China with his
father aboard Air Force Two.
Schweizer said during Wednesday’s
interview:
The key on all this stuff you have
to look at, I think with corruption, is timing. And you mentioned Ukraine. The
timing is clear: February of 2014, Putin moves into Crimea, that creates this
whole crisis. In March of 2014, Joe is point person on Ukraine policy. Within
three weeks, Ukrainians suddenly decide, “Hey Hunter Biden is the guy, the
expert, we want to join this company. And yeah, we need to pay him a million
dollars a year.” You look at that and think, “This is absurd” … It’s not like
he was advising Ukraine in 2005. Same thing with China.
They do the pivot to China in 2011,
2012. Joe goes over there on one of his first significant trips, and what does
he do? His son comes with him, and ten days after the trip, the son suddenly
announces this billon-and-a-half-dollar private equity deal. It’s clear, it’s
crystal clear what’s going on.
Schweizer also discussed how Hunter
Biden, while his father was vice president, set up a financial entity known as
the Burnham Financial Group, along with business partner Devon Archer and
then-Secretary of State John Kerry’s stepson Christopher Heinz, that benefitted
from the Bidens’ political clout.
Schweizer said:
The Burnham Financial Group, when
you go through — there was a court trial, so we got access to some of the
corporate records — again, you’ve got deals with Kazakh officials, with a guy
named [Kenes] Rakishev, who’s this Kazakh oligarch. You’ve got this reference
in corporate documents to this $200 million deal that they have with Elena
Baturina.
Now, Elena Baturina is the
ex-wife of the mayor of Moscow, and if you spend five minutes on Google
with Elena Baturina, you realize that law enforcement across the western
world believes she’s at the center point of Russian organized crime.
Well, they’re saying in corporate
documents we have a $200 million deal with this individual. This is all going
on — doesn’t happen before he is vice president. It’s not really happening
since he’s been vice president. It’s happening in this one island of eight
years.
Schweizer said the Burnham Financial
Group also set up a deal with the nation’s poorest Native American Indian
tribe, the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota: “That’s an attempt to
basically rip off these Indian tribes, and by the way, let’s rip off some
labor union pension funds as well.”
Schweizer said although Archer is
more involved then Biden in the scheme, the Bidens’ names “came up all the
time” when meeting with pension fund officials. Joe Biden was known as a being
“the big labor union guy,” Schweizer said.
The former vice president’s sister
also benefitted from his connections, Schweizer said.
He said in June 2011, Biden brought
founders of a start-up health care investment firm called StartUp Health into
the White House to meet with President Obama, and they took a picture they
later used for their website. The start-up was featured the next day at a
federal data conference on health care despite it being a new company,
Schweizer said.
Schweizer said over the next five
years, through 2016, the vice president showed up at the company’s conferences
and closed-door events for investors and partners. He said:
Well, the factor that I haven’t
mentioned is that one of the three principals involved with this company
is married to his daughter and I think explains what’s going on here. So how
you do all of that and hold true to your statement that you’ve never had a
conversation with a family member about business matters is patently absurd.
Lastly, Schweizer discussed how the
former vice president’s brother, Frank Biden, has benefitted from his family’s
connections.
Schweizer said in 2000, Frank Biden
rented a Jaguar, which he let another man drive with three girls in the back.
He continued:
The guy that’s driving it is going
70 in a 35. They hit this man who’s a single father who has two teenage
daughters … He hits the car, goes over the top of the car, and of course dies.
The three girls in the back of the car say that Frank — once this happened —
told the guy driving, “Keep driving, keep driving.”
So the estate for the girls that
have survived … sues Frank Biden. The driver, of course, is sent to jail for
reckless driving. They go after Frank with a civil suit. Frank doesn’t show up
to court, doesn’t really respond to the allegations, so the court says, you
know, “you’re liable for $250,000.” The court’s now trying to collect this
debt.
Schweizer said the daughters’
family hired a private investigator to find Frank Biden. He said after he is
found living in Delaware with Joe Biden, the daughters wrote Joe Biden,
telling him what happened and that his brother was liable.
Schweizer said the letter Joe Biden
wrote back to them “is so cold and so calculating, particularly, by the way,
for a man — Joe Biden — who lost his wife and his daughter in a car accident as
well.” Schweizer said:
He says basically, “Well, you know
Frank doesn’t have the money. I’m certainly not liable, and I just wish you
well.” That’s basically what he says in this letter. And so that sort of sets
up the entirety, in my mind, for a lot of what Frank is doing, which is Frank
is doing overseas deals in places like Costa Rica and Jamaica because … that’s
beyond the reach of the court. That debt has now ballooned to like nine hundred
thousand dollars.
Schweizer said in the meantime,
Frank Biden set up a company to make money off of tax-funded charter schools
with questionable characters.
“He realizes is that there’s not
much money to be made in running charter schools. The money is to be made
in the real estate of charter schools. So basically he gets involved with
investors, they buy properties, and then they lease these to charter schools.
And charter schools, using taxpayer money, are essentially paying off their
leases,” Schweizer said.
He said:
Some of the people [that] finance
these deals, are the most sketchy of characters. There’s a guy that
has a criminal record, a violent criminal record from the past, was widely
believed in southern Florida for being involved in the drug trade. His
brother actually was found in a shallow grave because of a major drug deal gone
bad, and yet Frank Biden did major financial real estate transactions and deals
with these guys and helped them make money through this charter school grift.
Marlow concluded: “The main takeaway
I took from Biden is that Joe Biden is either too weak to stand up to his
family or he is in on it, and both are terrible, especially if he’s running for
president. It’s one or the other.”

Revealed:
Pro-Biden Super PAC Bankrolled by Real Estate, Wall Street, Big Oil
KEVIN
WINTER/GETTY IMAGES
31 Jan 202016
3:39
A Super
PAC working to elect former Vice President Joe Biden is being bankrolled by a
bevy of real estate, financial, and oil interests.
Unite
the Country, which is run by a lobbyist and longtime Biden confidant, disclosed
its donors on Friday in filings made public with the
Federal Election Commission (FEC). Between launching at the end of October and
the December 31 filing deadline, the group raised more than $3.7 million
in support of Biden’s candidacy. Although the money poured in from a number of
high-dollar donors, some of Unite the Country’s largest contributors were
individuals tied to real estate, Wall Street, and the fossil fuels industry.
The
Super PAC’s most prolific donor by far was George Marcus, the leader of one of
America’s largest commercial property brokerage firms. Marcus has been a
longtime backer of the former vice president, donating to his campaign and
even hosting a ritzy fundraiser on his
behalf in San Francisco, California. After having maxed out to Biden’s official
campaign, the billionaire real estate magnate found a new avenue with which to
support Biden. In total, Marcus has donated one million to Unite the Country
throughout the end of December 2019. It remains unclear, though, if he donated
more since the end of 2019. FEC reports for the first month of 2020 will not be
released until mid-February.
Marcus was not the only big name
from the real estate world to underwrite Unite the Country’s efforts. Alan
Leventhal, the chairman of the Massachusetts-based private real estate behemoth
Beacon Capital, is also a top donor. At the end of December, he contributed
$250,000 in support of the former vice president’s candidacy.
Unite the Country found
similarly strong support on Wall Street. Another important donor
is Roger Altman, a longtime investment banker and former deputy secretary
of the treasury in the Clinton administration. Altman, who has donated $200,000
to the group, was forced to resign his government post in 1994 over the
Whitewater controversy.
Since then, Altman has reinvented
himself in high-finance, even helping shepherd General Motors through its
bankruptcy in 2009. Altman most recently served as political adviser to
the failed presidential campaigns of former Secretaries of State John
Kerry and Hillary Clinton in 2004 and 2008, respectively. Now, he seems to be
all in for Biden.
Other high-powered Wall Street
figures, including Bernard Schwartz and Jonathan Gray, contributed to the Super
PAC too. Scwartz, who leads BLS Investments, contributed $100,000 to Unite the
Country. Likewise, Gray who serves as the president the Blackstone Group—a
private equity giant, gave $50,000. Three senior members of Blackstone’s
leadership team contributed a further $50,000 each.
Unite the Country is also
bankrolled, in part, by oil interests. Richard Slifka, the chief executive
of Global Petroleum Corp., contributed $50,000 to the Super PAC at the end of
December. Global Petroleum is a commodity trading company specializing in crude
oil and gasoline.
The
money from Slifka and others has allowed Unite the Country to spend more than $4.3 million in
hopes of creating a last minute surge behind the former vice president ahead of
the Iowa Caucuses.
They Destroyed Our Country
“They knew Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they
promoted him. They knew Obama was a train wreck waiting to happen; yet they
made him president, to the great injury of America and the world. They understood
he was only a figurehead, an egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king,
doing great harm to our republic (perhaps irreparable.)”
Corruption
blinders of the media and other Democrats
Most journalists
and Democrats didn’t express any concerns when:
- VP Biden
threatened (promised) Ukraine that he would cut off a billion dollars in
aid to them if they didn't fire the prosecutor investigating a company his
son was involved with.
- Hunter
Biden got paid $50,000 a month as a board member of a corrupt Ukrainian
gas company when he had no expertise on the product of the company.
- Obama
promised the very dangerous Russia and Putin that he would be flexible if
he was reelected (somehow no one at FBI or elsewhere was ever concerned
that Russia may have tried to influence the 2012 election to elect the
flexible president.)
- Hillary,
Obama and many others violated the nation's security laws by using her
non-government computer.
- Obama
gave kickbacks to union supporters when he violated the nation's
bankruptcy law with the bailout of GM.
- Obama
used taxpayer dollars to reward political supporters like at Solyndra.
- Hillary,
through her family and foundation, got huge amounts of speech money and
donations from foreign countries. Russia, for example, got Uranium for
their generosity. (If there is any doubt about whether they were
kickbacks, that should have disappeared when the donations dried up and
speech fees dropped or dried up when she no longer could return favors)
- Obama
shipped over $1 billion in taxpayer money in unmarked bills, to Iran
tyrants, who still pledge death to America, to get a deal.
- Obama
dictatorially stopped a years’ long investigation into a billion dollar a
year drug running ring by terrorists to appease Iranian tyrants because he
was more concerned about his legacy than the safety, health and lives of
the American people.
- Hillary
and the DNC paying over $10 billion to buy a fake dossier from a foreign
national to destroy Trump. It appears they didn't think they could beat
him based on the truth or their policy proposals.
- Obama
and his administration, including the FBI, Justice Department, the
intelligence agencies and the State Department, using the fake dossier as
a source for FISA warrants and to infiltrate the Trump campaign with
informants. (they obviously didn't believe their record or policies would
win the votes). Instead of the media and other Democrats caring about this
pure corruption they have participated in perpetuating the lies about
Russian collusion for over three years.
- The
Obama Administration, at the Justice Department, EPA and CFPB using
taxpayer money for political purposes and political supporters by creating
slush funds from money confiscated from businesses that they pretended
would go to victims.
If the media and Democrats want to investigate anything, how
about a possible corrupt payback from Netflix to Obama? Obama gave the very
wealthy Netlfix, Google and others huge financial benefits with net neutrality
and Netflix gave the Obama's a huge contract even though they had no video
production expertise or experience. It is similar to paying Biden's son huge
amounts of money with no expertise.
But now when President Trump may have said something to a
foreign leader about investigating corruption by Biden's son, that is supposed
to be an impeachable offense. Shouldn't a President want political corruption
by politicians to be investigated? Shouldn't the media and other Democrats be
more concerned about the corruption itself than the phone call?
From this story, it appears that the media and other
Democrats believe that every phone call that Trump makes to a foreign leader
should become public knowledge if any bureaucrat makes a whistle blower report
when they disagree with something the president does. That would certainly be
cumbersome, and foreign leaders would no longer want to have discussions if
every discussion could be made public.
Elizabeth Warren says she wants to get rid of corruption but
not once have I heard her complain about the massive corruption during the
Obama years or at her precious CFPB, so she really doesn't care.
Isn't it odd that no bureaucrats seemed to care about the
corruption of Obama/Biden? It shows why we need to drain the swamp.
GRIFTER AND PHONY CHARITY FOUNDATION
FRAUDSTER HILLARY CLINTON’S LONG SERVICE TO AMERICA’S MOST EVIL BANKSTERS
The judge found these
releases, together with the publication of Clinton’s secret speeches to Wall
Street banks, in which she pledged to be their representative, were “matters of
the highest public concern.” They “allowed the American electorate to look
behind the curtain of one of the two major political parties in the United
States during a presidential election.”

“Clinton also
failed to mention how he and Hillary cashed in after his
presidential tenure to make themselves multimillionaires, in
part by taking tens of millions in speaking fees from Wall Street

The new aristocrats,
like the lords of old, are not bound by the laws that apply to the lower
orders. Voluminous reports have been issued by Congress and government panels
documenting systematic fraud and law breaking carried out by the biggest banks
both before and after the Wall Street crash of 2008.
Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and every other major US
bank have been implicated in a web of scandals, including the sale of toxic
mortgage securities on false pretenses, the rigging of international interest
rates and global foreign exchange markets, the laundering of Mexican drug
money, accounting fraud and lying to bank regulators, illegally foreclosing on
the homes of delinquent borrowers, credit card fraud, illegal debt-collection
practices, rigging of energy markets, and complicity in the Bernie Madoff Ponzi
scheme.

Is it a signal
that she's back in the game because she's selling her president-ability to the
world's global billionaire crowd and laying the groundwork for more
funds? There are all kinds of ways for foreign billionaires to get
money to the U.S. without consequences, after all. What's more, it's
pretty much the biggest base of support she has, which is at least one reason
why she lost the 2016 election.

“The couple
parlayed lives supposedly spent in “public service”into admission into the upper stratosphere of American wealth, with incomes in the
top 0.1 percent bracket. The source of this vast wealth was a political machine that might well be dubbed “Clinton, Inc.” This consists essentially of a seedy money-laundering operation to ensure big business support for the Clintons’ political ambitions as well as their personal fortunes.
The basic components of the operation are lavishly paid
speeches to Wall Street and Fortune 500 audiences, corporate campaign
contributions, and donations to the ostensibly philanthropic Clinton

Democrats as a protection
racket? Ed Buck makes it a trifecta
The New York Times has been trying to
dismiss the arrest of Ed Buck, a Democratic fatcat who had a thing
for injecting young black men with drugs before paying them for sex, as a
"small-time Democratic donor," but the facts on the ground suggest he
was a rather big one. And maybe that's a function of the paper's desire to
protect its masters, the Democrats. They aren't known as Democratic operatives with
bylines for nothing.
While Buck once identified himself as a conservative Republican,
according to the Los Angeles Times, he became a national figure when he
spearheaded the effort to impeach Arizona’s Republican Gov. Evan Mecham in the
1980s. He later made large donations to Democrats, including more than $500,000
since 2007, according to court documents filed by Moore's mother in a wrongful
death suit pertaining to her son.
At the
federal level, those include contributions to prominent Washington lawmakers as
well as 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. At the local
level, Buck has donated more than $51,000 to Los Angeles city and county
officials,
candidates, and affiliated parties dating to 2008.
In 2012, Buck
contributed $100 to the campaign for Jackie Lacey for Los Angeles County District Attorney, and four years later, gave $1,400
to Eric
Garcetti for
Mayor of Los Angeles. Both Lacey and Garcetti still hold their titles.
The highest
contribution was $13,000, according to the court papers, to former West
Hollywood Mayor John Duran when he ran for county supervisor in 2014.
That doesn't sound too small-time to me.
And in fact, his ideological
switcheroo sounds as though he found the Democrats a more suitable protection
racket for his perversions than the Republicans. Who needs political beliefs
when the real belief is perversion and that's what he needs protected?
It's actually part of the pattern
with these scandals. Pervert with big vices donates cash to Democrats to ensure
his protection from the cops. Harvey Weinstein knew it, that was what his
Planned Parenthood and other woke cause donations bought for him - a capacity
to prey on young actresses trying to win roles. Jeffrey Epstein knew it too,
donating to leftist Bill Clinton causes in order to buy enough influence to
enable him to prey on underage girls with impunity, spiriting them to his
pervert island for himself along with his highly connected Democrat
buddies. Both had added payoffs in that Weinstein then had the power to
threaten actresses and reporters who threatened to tell on him, while
Epstein had blackmail material on very powerful people which kept them on
his string.
Now we have the sorry case of Ed Buck, a
creep who enjoyed paying for sex with young black men while poisoning them
with drugs, and then relying on his political donations to ensure the cops
looked the other way. Note that quite a few of his donations were to Los
Angeles local officials, all of them Democrats. Assuming this tweet's images
are not manipulated, look at the range of Buck's Democrats:
https://abc7.com/democratic-donor-ed-buck-arrested-on-drug-charges/5547905/ … Democratic donor Ed Buck
arrested on drug charges after new overdose at his West Hollywood home! @realDonaldTrump @POTUS @SenSchumer @tedlieu @HillaryClinton @CBSThisMorning @GayleKing I see 3 dead people
killed by Ed Buck ... WTF? @FBI @LAPDWestLA
Democratic donor Ed
Buck arrested on drug charges after new overdose at his West Hollywood home
A THIRD death in this guy's house. WTF!? Ed
Buck donated money to Chuck Schumer, Ted Lieu, & Hillary Clinton... was
given a free pass / no repercussions after the first two black guys died (18
months apart) from drug fueled speed & poppers homosexual parties.. @CBSNews
Combine it with media malfeasance - the
mainstream media tried to turn down Ronan Farrow's report on Weinstein, it
tried to pin the Epstein scandal on President Trump, and now it's trying to
persuade us that Buck was just small fry, and the protection racket
seems complete.
With so many of these perverts turning up
in the Democrat donor base as well as organizations such as Planned Parenthood,
one wonders if these are the only ones out there. Is the Democratic Party held
together in no small part by freaks using politics as their 'vaccination'
from scrutiny? Are their perversions and the need to protect them at the root
of why these groups are so powerful and Democrats are so extreme and inflexible
on issues such as abortion? Might that be why they're so out of step with even
the Democratic voting public? And why are the Democrats the more hospitable party
for such a sorry scenario? Why are they the party of perverts? It actually isn't just these three, it's quite a few of
them as I noted here. A lot of such characters have turned up in a very, very
short time and the pattern is exactly the same for each. How many more are
there? What does Ted Lieu, Adam Schiff, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats
who've benefited from Buck's bucks have to say about this? And why aren't
all of the Democrats confronting this?

The
critical element required is a pattern of criminal or racketeering

Secretary Hillary Clinton and the Deep State: A RICO Criminal
Conspiracy
We who elected President
Trump understood our elected officials and the Deep State were sandbagging Trump and self-dealing
public funds. It was no secret that President Trump is no angel,
unpresidential, blunt, and crude, and a disruptor. Trump was hired to drain the
swamp.
I watched this kabuki theater unfold over the
last several years. Through my eyes as a shopworn gumshoe, I will explain what
is happening. My investigative curiosity was first piqued by the ATF Fast and
Furious scandal and continues through the recent House impeachment show trial.
There is a common element running through all of these cons —
the actions of an organized crime conspiracy. A group of people
either acting alone or in concert with others committed crimes with a common
purpose - a criminal enterprise as described in
"CRIMINAL RICO: 18 USC. §§1961-1968 A
Manual For Federal Prosecutors."
The players acted
together – in the usurpation of power, the abuse of power by public officials,
bribery, thefts by fraud including federal funds, money laundering, perjury and
the obstruction of justice, the violations of fundamental of civil rights,
aided and abetted in the commission of these crimes and or to conceal these
crimes. Criminals will lie and can't keep their lies straight. Their methods
and behaviors are the same, whether engaging in street crimes or elaborate
white-collar financial schemes. The only difference is when more money is
involved, the perps are more adept in concealing, covering up their sins, and
hiding where the money went. Many of these scandals are well known to the American
Thinker readers. I will focus my comments on Hillary's home brew
sever and the Clinton Foundation as an example of how RICO can be used to
prosecute the players.
FBI Director James Comey
indicted Hillary Clinton for her home brew server at his press conference.
Comey then egregiously concluded that there was no evidence of criminal intent
purportedly “required” to prosecute. Comey bastardized the Federal Espionage Act in absolving
Hillary Clinton. FBI's investigation of Clinton's emails was low-balled. There
was never a real search for the truth. The outcome was preordained. My jaw
dropped wide open. I knew the fix was in. FBI Director Comey lied to the people
with a straight face. Why?
The chance meeting of
Bill Clinton and AG Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac was no mere
coincidence. This chat was not about the grandkids. Bill Clinton was there to
convey a specific message to Lynch that there would be no indictment of
Hillary. Hillary Clinton's email case must tank. This would have
constituted bribery, if AG Lynch was assured she would continue as AG in
Clinton Administration. This meeting took place only weeks before Comey's press
conference dumping Hillary Clinton's email case.
The Deep State needed
Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 presidential election, or the dike holding back
the truth would burst. Trump, the disruptor, was an immediate threat to both
the Republicans, Democrats, and the Deep State. If the truth were
laid bare, it would expose the Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton, the
Senate and House, and many executive departments for these abuses of power,
corruption, bribery, frauds, and thefts of public funds.
High-level government
officials and the Deep State committed many serious felonies either in
furtherance of or to conceal the crimes committed in the pay to play scam.
In exchange for favorable consideration by Secretary Clinton, those who
benefited would donate to the Clinton Foundation. The FBI
started and stopped investigations into the Clinton Foundation at least twice
as reported by the Washington Post. Peter Schweizer's book, Clinton Cash, is the most damning. Dinesh D'Souza slammed the
Foundation in the National Review, as did The Federalist.
The status of the investigation of the Foundation
by US Attorney John Huber's is unknown. Rudy Giuliani said there was enough to
pursue "Clinton Inc" as
racketeering under RICO. The Foundation and its affiliated nonprofits require a real
investigation with an in-depth forensic audit to determine where the money
went. In financial crimes investigation, the prime rule is "follow the
money, honey." Illicit nonprofits have many ways to divert funds by
inflating salaries, expenses, and money laundering.
Illegal nonprofit schemes
are difficult to prosecute without hard evidence and the testimony of insiders.
The motive of Hillary Clinton's use of the home brew server was to conceal
emails from FOIA requests that would provide the hard evidence. Hillary Clinton
destroyed the data on her server and cell phones with the knowledge of the FBI.
It took years for Judicial Watch and others to pry
and recover some of these damning emails from the foot-dragging executive
departments that were complicit and knew what was going on.
RICO initially was used
to target mob families. RICO is also a useful tool to fight white collar
conspiracies. They both have the same hierarchy of low-level crooks led by the
top players, linked together with a common purpose. RICO has tools to squeeze
the low-level operatives to gather evidence to prosecute, jail, and seize
assets of the conspirators. The critical element required is a pattern
of criminal or racketeering activity. This pattern is proved by showing
two predicate crimes were committed within ten years. The list of predicate crimes is extensive and
includes bribery, embezzlement, fraud, theft, money laundering, and obstruction
of justice. The typical five-year statute of limitations for most federal
felonies is extended to ten years from the last criminal act or acts committed
to conceal the conspiracy, i.e., lying under oath and similar actions to
obstruct justice. The prison sentences are steep. The effect is to cut off the
head of the organization and not just the low-level players.
The criminal activity
extends back to the ATF's Fast and Furious program through the House
impeachment show trial to cover up the illegal acts of the Obama
Administration, Hillary Clinton, the Department of State, the DOJ, the FBI, and
the CIA. A telltale sign that the DOJ under US Attorney General Barr is
willing to play hardball and may use RICO, came when he spoke to the Federalist
Society: "Barr accuses liberal 'resistance' of
trying to 'sabotage' Trump." AG Barr said this, "shows FBI launched Trump campaign
investigation on the 'thinnest of suspicions." AG Barr is the new sheriff in town,
he wears a badge, has guns and will travel, can impanel grand juries, indict
and arrest people, and is not limited in his jurisdiction, like DOJ IG
Horowitz.
The collective actions of
the Deep State are and were a silent coup to delegitimize a Presidential
candidate. Once elected to impede and resist the duly elected President. The
President's law enforcement and intel agencies were corrupted at the highest
level and went rogue.
Organized crime can't
exist without corrupt law enforcement. As I wrote in a letter to President
Trump earlier this year:
. . . I believe you
understand the gravity of the situation and of its importance to the very
survival of our Country as we know it. If the people involved are not held
accountable for their actions, we will be no different than some Third World
Banana Republic.
Failure to act will
destroy our founding principle of the Rule of Law as stated by President John
Adams, "We Are a Nation of Laws, Not of Men" and we cannot allow a
two-tiered justice system to prevail.

“Our entire crony
capitalist system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy
approaching par with third-world hell-holes. This is the way a great

Peter Schweizer, author of “Secret Empires: How the American
Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,”
It’s About Corruption – Replacing
a Failed and Corrupt Political Establishment
American presidents have their famous
speeches, remembered long after they leave office. JFK said: “Ask not what
your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Ronald
Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate and told Mikhail Gorbachev to: “Tear
down this wall.”
Some speeches are memorable in other ways.
George W. Bush, days after 9/11, ironically announced that: “Islam is
peace.” Barack Obama proclaimed himself the messiah: “This was the moment
when the rise of the oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal.”
President Trump has certainly given strong
speeches, such as at the recent March for Life. But he may be remembered more
for his raucous rallies and hilarious tweets. Yet one speech has flown under
the radar.
On Oct. 13, 2016, just weeks before
the election, Trump spoke at a campaign rally in Florida. Leading up to the election,
he was holding several rallies each day, giving numerous speeches, but this
seemingly random speech stands out.
The enigmatic Q group refers to it as the
speech that got Donald Trump elected. As it was one of many pre-election
speeches he gave and at a Florida rally, it may have only been heard by a
fraction of Trump voters before the election, but it certainly encapsulates his
philosophy, both before and after the election, toward government corruption.
The speech explains the resistance by the
Washington, D.C. ruling class to Trump’s candidacy, election, and presidency.
Trump attacked the foundation of deep state power, wealth, and corruption.
Trump was indeed an “existential threat” to the cabal.
Before even being elected, and years
before Joe Biden decided to run for president, Donald Trump was focused on
corruption. Not to influence his reelection, as House Democrats accuse, since he
wasn’t even president yet. But because rooting out corruption was part of his
plan to make America great again.
Everything that followed his election,
from the Russian collusion accusations, White House leaks, special counsel
investigation, and now impeachment, is a reaction to the ideas Trump explains
in this 6-minute speech. Watch it here or read the transcript.
The opening lines are prescient, becoming
painfully obvious now almost four years after he laid out the scale of
corruption.
Our movement is about replacing a failed
and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you,
the American People. There is nothing the political
establishment will not do, and no lie they will
not tell, to hold on to their prestige and power at your expense.
The Washington establishment, and the financial
and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason: to protect and
enrich itself.
The establishment has trillions of dollars at
stake in this election. As an example, just one single trade deal they’d like
to pass, involves trillions of dollars controlled by many countries,
corporations and lobbyists.
For those who control the levers of power in
Washington, and for the global special interests they partner with, our
campaign represents an existential threat.
“Protect
and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation and
the Obama book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family corruption,
followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren and
Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in
Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government
corruption.
Candidate
Trump then went on to say:
It’s a global power structure that is responsible
for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our
country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of
large corporations and political entities.
This
is money given to corrupt foreign countries, disguised as aid, only to be
returned to the political elite by hiring their unqualified family members for
do-nothing jobs, as in Hunter Biden, or funneling these U.S. taxpayer dollars
back into political foundations, consultancies, or campaign contributions.
Once
upon a time, journalists investigated such corruption. Now they ignore it,
aiding and abetting the deception. As Trump said in his speech:
The corporate media in our country is no longer
involved in journalism. They are a political special interest, no different
than any lobbyist or other financial entity with an agenda.
Speak
up against the cabal and you will be destroyed, or even commit suicide. Trump
went on:
The establishment and their media enablers wield
control over this nation through means that are well known. Anyone who challenges
their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe and morally deformed.
They will attack you, they will slander you, they will seek to destroy your
career and reputation. And they will lie, lie and lie even more.
It’s
amazing that Trump predicted exactly what happened a few days ago when
“Republican political strategist” Rick Wilson called the group of “you”
mentioned above, “credulous boomer rubes” with CNN hack Don Lemon laughing so
hard he almost fell off his chair.
President
Trump has been impeached for drawing back the curtain on deep state
malfeasance. Before handing over millions of hard earned U.S. taxpayer dollars
to Ukraine, the most corrupt country in Europe,
he wanted to know the money was necessary and going where promised, rather than
into the pockets of oligarchs and U.S. politician grifters.
He
acted as he was required to under the “Treaty with
Ukraine on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters,” ratified in 2000,
15 years before Trump announced his run for president. He was doing his job,
fulfilling his Constitutional oath of office. His reward for pouring roach
killer in the nest of Democrat crooks and knaves was impeachment and a
concerted effort by Democrats, the media, and nasty NeverTrump Republicans, all
heads on the same toxic hydra, to overturn the last election and rig the next
one.
It’s
not about Trump enriching himself, despite what Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler
say, it’s for the country. Again, from the famous speech:
I didn’t need to do this. I built a great
company, and I had wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the benefits of years
of successful business for myself and my family, instead of going through this
absolute horror show of lies, deceptions and malicious attacks. I’m doing it
because this country has given me so much, and I feel strongly it was my turn
to give back.
It’s
all about corruption, exposing it, rooting it out, and destroying it. Those who
are the most threatened are those who scream the loudest. Given the Democrat
and media apoplexy, Trump must be getting closer to the truth.
He
ended his speech by throwing down the gauntlet:
We will vote to put this corrupt government
cartel out of business. We will remove from our politics the special interests
who have betrayed our workers, our borders, our freedoms, and our sovereign
rights as a nation. We will end the politics of profit, we will end the rule of
special interests, we will put a stop to the raiding of our country – and the
disenfranchisement of our people.
It’s
not about abuse of power or obstruction of Congress. It’s not about quid
pro quo or bribery. It’s simply a new sheriff in town, bringing law
and order to drain a swamp of greed and corruption. It’s President Trump doing
exactly what he said he would do if elected, making America great again.
He
is doing what past presidents have talked about and promised, but then either
looked the other way or became active participants in the graft. And those
milking the system are petrified over exposure and their long overdue
reckoning.
