fake news, weāll soon be told.
Iām assuming that these leaks are specifically intended to make it harder to stop and bury the investigations once Barr gets around to the next round of, er, damage control.
And if anything incriminating is actually turned up, I have full confidence that Barr will bury it in the Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse.
Wait a minute ā the title of the article indicates they are being investigated for lapses in money laundering. Would they have been OK if they continued to launder money?
Poor Bill Barr, his dike breaking to many leaks, there are soon as he had the Manafort and Hope Hickās holes plugged, now comes Kushner and money launderingā¦ he is going to run out of fingers pretty soonā¦
That was my first take as well.
Does anyone find this headline particularly difficult? Am I just reading the emphasis wrong or is this a seriously poorly written headline?
Under Trump/Barr, the money laundering must continue! No lapses!
Why isnāt Germany conducting the criminal probe, isnāt money laundering a crime there?
Although I loathe Barr, prudence demands that what he is doing must be known to the greatest extent possible.
Barr is good with it either way.
I thought the probes lapsed.
Itās a good day when Kush is mentioned as a possible target of an investigation/review/probe.
Federal authorities are investigating whether Deutsche Bank complied with laws meant to stop money laundering and other crimes, the latest government examination of potential misconduct at one of the worldās largest and most troubled banks, according to seven people familiar with the inquiry.
The investigation includes a review of Deutsche Bankās handling of so-called suspicious activity reports that its employees prepared about possibly problematic transactions, including some linked to President Trumpās son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, according to people close to the bank and others familiar with the matter.
And Kennedyās son will inevitably be involved because ā¦ Republicans.
Foul though many US banks have been in the last ten (or hundred) years, they really donāt seem to hold a candle to Detusche Bank. The latter seems to not care about even the appearance of propriety.
Enron is impressed.
The lapses are referring to Deutsche Bankās efforts to curb money laundering ā a case of bad headline writing by the NYT.
I guess the problem Iām having is with the word ālapsesā.
I take the word to mean someone didnāt do something, as in a lapse of judgement. The way itās used here itās not clear to me.
Having written headlines once upon a time, I mightāve gone with DB facing criminal investigation for potential money laundering irregularities. Or maybe DB under investigation for anti-money-laundering law compliance.
Itās just an odd phrasing to me.
If they wanted to keep using ālapses,ā it would probably work if they went with something like, āFBI Conducting probe of DB for lapses in Anti-Money Laundering Law,ā but that does start to be a mouthful.
