Excellent investigation by @icij.org Not just one crypto exchange hidden inside another but use of multiple jurisdictions, no surprise to see 'respectable' Malta involved. “The promise of blockchain tracing was that we could have transparency. But this is just a story"

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Nobody, I repeat…nobody should be surprised by this. Steve Witkoff works for Donald Trump. Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. So of course Witkoff works for Putin as well. It’s despicable, it’s traitorous, but it sure the hell isn’t surprising.

“In an Oct. 14 phone call that lasted a little over 5 minutes, Witkoff advised Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s top foreign policy aide, on how the Russian leader should broach the issue with Trump. His guidance included suggestions on setting up a Trump-Putin call before Zelenskiy’s WH visit later that week”

Wow
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
