The person at the center of this money laundering scheme shouldn't surprize anyone... It's none other that Mr. Media Matters himself, partisan blow-hard David Brock.

Anyone want to bet that the big 3 will ignore this, just as they ignored Hillary's IT guy attempting to hide Hillary's emails?


Money Laundering Scheme Exposed: 14 Pro-Clinton Super PACs & Non-Profits Implicated

This is serious.


* David Brock operates over a dozen pro-Clinton organizations from his office in Washington DC.
* Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between his organizations.
* Brock’s unregistered Professional Solicitor, the Bonner Group, receives a 12.5% cut every time money is moved.


There’s a reason why David Brock chooses to house an unregistered Professional Solicitor in his office to raise money for his conglomerate of Super PACs and non-profits.


Professional Solicitors are required to disclose their active solicitation contracts. Brock wants his unregistered solicitor, the Bonner Group, to keep their client list hidden for a very specific reason.



David Brock is laundering money


David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC.


Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between these organizations.


The Bonner Group, his professional solicitor, works off a commission. Every time money gets passed around, Bonner receives a 12.5% cut.

Zero hedge is a sketchy source.
If they have someone else, more reputable confirm this, I could believe it.

They got their story from here.

The reason I posted the story is based on the information and documents it contained, which were all linked to. The documents seem to speak for themselves.

I wish folks looked up the meaning of words in the dictionary............

Because someone has not a clue of what is/entails.......... and sure is not me........

And attempting to connect Clinton to "whatever is going on here" qualifies the author for the crime of "conspiracy to slander"...........

Let me give yall a clue............

When a "story" is put out by a RRW media wannabe...........and when Googled in ANY and thousands of hits it gets.............and when you go to NEWS where one may find reports by "responsible and reliable" news outlets with hits close to zero.........

Give one a clue..................the RRW media wannbe is BS...........and therefore ......move on.......

IMHO

These folks will go to the extreme to do anything to slander the Clinton's............ while the two sure ain't my best of what I like......

As with all folks.......

They have the right to be treated fairly......... and crap (and badly crafted crap at that) IMHO is dishonest, reprehensible ............and evil

Is that the best you can do?..........

Rather than addressing the issue (which you seem unable to do) all you can turn to is a silly and meaningless personal attack............

REALLY NOW....

They lay it out pretty good. Imagine paying your wife's company millions to move millions from one of your non profits to another one of your non profits several times with all of the non profits at the same address and phone number. I hope David Brock fries but the IRS would have to be forced to take action, which they won't. He also owns Correct the Record.

Can you define what money laundering is?...........

And then explain how this is a news item.............and how in God's good name has Clinton involved if at all.............

You know...if one is going to do a political hit piece on some one they best make it sound plausible............

I give this nameless author a F grade......

I took the same view upon reading through this story.

First off, PAC and SuperPAC by law are NOT directly connected to the politician nor his or her campaign. (See IRS rules governing 501(c)(3) non-profit PACs for details)

Second, if the contracts Mr. Brock negotiates includes exclusion clauses and neither party exercises said clause, how is that illegal?

Third, going back to the IRS rules governing PACs and SuperPACs, they are non-profits. So as long as there is no quid pro quo AND there is a chain of receipts available for audit, there's really nothing illegal about it under the law.

On the surface, this story reads as if it belongs in the Conspiracy Theory thread. Not that I'd be the one to debunk it, but I'll follow it and see where it leads (if anywhere at all).

The whole thing is a silly waste of time.........

But for laughs.........

How many of our colleagues here believe this litany of alleged "wrong doing" as one mighty say.........is on the money?

Does anyone want to tell us yall agree?

mon·ey laun·der·ing
noun
"the concealment of the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by means of transfers involving foreign banks or legitimate businesses."
Click to expand...

No foreign banks involved, no concealment of funds attempted.

If anything, this would come closer to fraud:

fraud
noun
"1. wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
2. a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities."

Show the "deception...personal gain...unjustifiable claim" and you have a story. Until then...:coffeepap

Where's the wrong doing?

The definition of money laundering is.............the concealment of the origins of illegally obtained money, typically by means of transfers involving foreign banks or legitimate businesses.



All this proves is legally above board obtained money is being transferred around to various account for reasons the author does not know why or cannot understand..........


So it must be "fishy" and guesses it must be money laundering..........

Seems logical.......if one does not know why..........it must be wrong..........Right!

So then you must also be equally upset about all the same level of crap being toss around which impunes Trump. How Trump is being treated unfairly. Right?

Oh. That's right. You think all the anti-Trump crap to be fully justified.

Well then, your unsuccessful attempt to raise yourself above the fray, to put yourself above the crap pushers, has just failed. Same as your 'redefined' 'conservative' lean. How about some honesty from you for a change?

Tyler Durden exposes Zero Hedge as a propaganda and cheerleader for Russia.

"... Lokey, who said he wrote much of the site’s political content, claimed there was pressure to frame issues in a way he felt was disingenuous. “I tried to inject as much truth as I could into my posts, but there’s no room for it. “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry= dunce. Vladimir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft,” Lokey wrote, describing his take on the website's politics...

“I can’t be a 24-hour cheerleader for Hezbollah, Moscow, Tehran, Beijing, and Trump anymore. It’ s wrong. Period. I know it gets you views now, but it will kill your brand over the long run,” Lokey texted Ivandjiiski. “This isn’t a revolution. It’s a joke.”....

Anyone besides me notice the contents of the article aren't even being addressed? Its all shoot the messenger and no content.

It seems plausible with the set up involved that he could be taking multiple cuts out of political and charitable donations. The problem I have with that is, if he were he would be richer than he is now. So I don't know, that seems to be the hole in the story.

I am very aware of that, and it doesn't surprise me in the least. It's what I've come to expect from the people who support Hillary.
