Re: Ghislaine Maxwell. This is why Barr frantically fired Berman




as
@eliehonig
points out....this case, like the Epstein case was...is staffed by Public Corruption Unit....which means there are potential charges against or implication of a public official!!

Berman must have been ready to issue indictments - truth coming out

No wonder Barr has been firing prosecutors.

Bet Berman was sitting on this indictment & the day he refused to leave, he was handing it off to his SDNY staff.

Week later, FBI knocks on Maxwell's door.
Or maybe she chose protective custody.
Barr's got to have known what Berman had ready to go.

Maxwell had 2 choices left.
SDNY or William Barr.

8. Alex Acosta: "I Was Told Epstein 'Belonged to Intelligence' And to Leave It Alone."
Thu Jul 2, 2020, 03:31 PM
Jul 2020

There's a lot still to be discovered about Epstein.

“I Was Told Epstein ‘Belonged to Intelligence’ And to Leave It Alone.”
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/i-was-told-epstein-belonged-to-intelligence-and-to-leave-it-alone

“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)

"Foreign money in America is not a new thing, but it expanded rapidly starting in 1981." - Steve Hoffenberg

This explains why finance as a share of GDP changed so quickly starting from 1980 until the present!

Hoffenberg reveals that Trump and arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi were good friends going back decades.

AND HERE Hoffenburg tells the story.
https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2019/09/jeffrey-epstein-grew-wealth-from-laundering-spying-and-arms-deals/


Steven Hoffenburg, a former Wall Street executive said in particular about Epstein’s role in the infamous Towers Financial collapse when Hoffenburg was a chief executive officer. “He was also broke. He was literally without funds because he got into trouble in Europe.” Hoffenburg claimed that Epstein got involved in criminal activity including “money laundering, spying and arms deals in different countries overseas” to make money long before he ever got wrapped up with Towers Financial.

because they, too, ARE PEDOPHILES. As was Barr's dad. As are half the republican men in congress. The republicans have been involved for YEARS.

Some day it's going to pierce the wall of silence, and we're all going to see what republicans have been doing to little boy and girl children for years.

Property, territory, weapons, drugs, prostitution, money laundering, bribery & threats of murder are the tools of all criminal organizations, whether they're global syndicates or local street gangs.

It's just how they exist.

Jul 2020

I just caught the end of her convo with Lawrence, but MSNBC replays it in about 45 min. At 12 midnight Central Time.

I'm recording that replay because I really like how Vance explains legal cases. Clearly & for us non-lawyers to understand.

Don't know if you get the replay where you're at, but I've searched her twitter & not much around yet.

Maybe check Lincoln'sBible. She had some tweets earlier on the matter & she's reliable for sourcing.

https://mobile.twitter.com/LincolnsBible

More will be coming out on these details toorrow too.
