It’s Deutsche Bank

“Maintaining grand jury … secrecy is paramount.”

Notably, Howell is the same judge who will be weighing a request by the same press freedom group, The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, to authorize the release of grand jury material in Mueller’s report submitted to Attorney General Bill Barr.

That’s not exactly encouraging.

Who responded with an emphatic, Scheiße!

That was ruled out immediately because the company is government owned.

“The SCO is investigating foreign interference in the 2016 presidential election and potential collusion in those efforts by American citizens,” wrote Judge Beryl A. Howell, who unsealed six different documents - with redactions - on the secret docket of this case, which involves an unnamed foreign company owned by an unidentified country.

Ok, I’m confused. If the above is true (and the link dated February 28, is below), then how can Barr claim Mueller found no evidence of conspiracy? It would seem the investigation is still on-going.

It can’t be. Duetsche Bank is not government owned.

This would seem to me to be one of the many things that doesn’t quite add up in the Barr “summary.” I think the most reasonable interpretation is that the Special Counsel Office is not planning on issuing any new indictments to people currently in the administration on the (relatively narrow) question of whether they conspired with the Russian government, but will continue to clean up a number of issues not involving current administration issues, and will also hand off questions not directly related to conspiring with the Russian government to other prosecuting authorities (SDNY, etc). But the bottom line is, we do not know. All we have is Barr’s letter, and to say that tells us jack shit is an insult to jack shit.

I’m positive that the company is a sovereign wealth fund given that the company was stated to be wholly owned by a foreign government.

The main suspect is the UAE sovereign wealth fund Mubadala. They have had a long partnership with the Russian Direct Investment Fund co-investing in projects from oil fields to fitness chains. RDIF and Mubadala even have a co-Investment fund worth around $2 billion. RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev was at the Seychelles meeting with Erik Prince and the Crown Prince of the UAE which raises more suspicion.

I am feeling this mystery case will be a big fat… nothing burger.

The dud started a tech company and lives in a 10,000-square-foot house with an indoor pool. Dresses the same, but wears really expensive sneakers now.

One of the things that I expect to get revealed over the next week to 10 days is that ‘collusion’ prosecutions are very much alive and that Mueller referred much of it to other USAOs.

Barr didn’t say they found no evidence. When he used the word “find” he meant “to conclude.” Like how a jury can find someone not guilty even if the police find evidence against him. If Mueller found no evidence at all, Barr would have said that. And he’s now admitted that, by saying the letter was meant to summarize the conclusions and not everything.

And now it’s just a guessing game if the media will ever realize they got played once the real report comes out.
