Any more on the rumor that bribes were discussed at el Chapo’s trial....by name?
I haven’t seen anything today, but haven’t been looking either.
A couple days ago (Friday?) there was a rumble of some investigators going from DC to NY to get copies of court transcripts.
Before that, I only heard the claim that Guzman had paid either Fox or Salinas $100M bribe. I think that was one of the witnesses.
If I run across anything, I’ll drag it over.
Here’s a quick dig from Anon on Bread #6571

Blockades also had to be removed for the El Chapo conviction
• The case was investigated by the DEA, HSI and the FBI, in cooperation with Mexican, Ecuadorian, Netherlands, Dominican, and Colombian law enforcement authorities.
• Substantial assistance was provided by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices in the Northern District of Illinois, the Western District of Texas, the Southern District of New York, the Southern District of California and the District of New Hampshire.
• The original, tentative date for the El Chapo trial was April 16, 2018.
• Prosecutors have been pooling together evidence for over a decade across the country and across the border. Why didn’t they act sooner? Because of a blockade…
Cooperation
• While the trial was under the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of New York, among others, provided assistance
• Preet Bharara was in place as U.S. Attorney of SDNY from 2009 - 2017.
• Bharara was fired after he refused to follow AG Sessions’ request for all remaining 46 U.S. Attorneys appointed during Barack Obama’s presidency, including Preet, to resign.
• Sessions replaced him with Geoffrey Berman who became the official U.S. Attorney of the SDNY on April 25, 2018
• Furthermore, AG of NY Eric Schneiderman, also part of the Blockade crew, resigned May 7, 2018, after Allison Mack sang like a bird (NXIVM). Schneiderman’s removal is also extremely relevant to keeping the wheels of justice turning.
Justice
• The El Chapo trial finally began in New York City in Nov 13, 2018, in a Brooklyn federal court under the jurisdiction of the Eastern District of New York
• U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue of the EDNY was assigned by Sessions, who said of Donoghue he’s someone “who has tremendous experience prosecuting MS-13.”
• El Chapo bribed many government officials, including former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who famously had spats with Trump, and who eventually bent the knee and awarded Jared Kushner Mexico’s highest honor
• There is no doubt in my mind that El Chapo’s dealings are directly related to U.S. political corruption. It’s only a matter of time before this is exposed.
