I’m checking and the volume is really low. I can barely hear, any details about what/who would be great.
Got the details now.

THE ENGINEER AT the heart of the upcoming Waymo vs. Uber trial is facing dramatic new allegations of commercial wrongdoing, this time from a former nanny.
Erika Wong, who says she cared for Anthony Levandowskis two children from December 2016 to June 2017, filed a lawsuit in California this month accusing him of breaking a long list of employment laws. The complaint alleges the failure to pay wages, labor and health code violations, and the intentional infliction of emotional distress, among other things.
Yet in this unusual 81-page complaint, Wong also speculates about a large swath of Levandowskis personal and business dealings. She reports a great variety of details, including dozens of overheard names, the license-plate numbers of cars she observed at a Levandowski property, and an extensive list of the BDSM gear she claims he kept in his bedroom.
Though the lawsuit contains some obvious inaccuraciessuch as stating that Levandowski is a resident of Oakland County, California, which does not existWongs claims raise new questions about Levandowskis business conduct. In her complaint, Wong alleges that Levandowski was paying a Tesla engineer for updates on its electric truck program, selling microchips abroad, and creating new startups using stolen trade secrets. Her complaint also describes Levandowski reacting to the arrival of the Waymo lawsuit against Uber, strategizing with then-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and discussing fleeing to Canada to escape prosecution.
Levandowskis outside dealings while employed at Google and Uber have been central themes in Waymos trade secrets case. Waymo says that Levandowski took 14,000 technical files related to laser-ranging lidar and other self-driving technologies with him when he left Google to work at Uber. He is not a party to the original Waymo complaint against Uber, however, and no criminal charges have yet been filed against him. Levandowski has consistently exercised his Fifth Amendment rights and not responded to allegations in that suit.
A statement on the Wong lawsuit from Levandowskis spokesperson is unequivocal: On January 5, a frivolous lawsuit was filed against Anthony Levandowski in US District Court. The allegations in the lawsuit are a work of fiction. Levandowski is confident that the lawsuit will be dismissed by the courts. Little is known about Wong, who did not immediately respond to a request for an interview. She says in the complaint that a medical background earned her a higher-than-average salary for a nanny; that she had taken law classes; and that she had produced a short film on Sebastian Thrun, who led the early development of Googles self-driving car.

Wow the FBI agent just said they started this investigation in MAY 2017

Obviously cause Trump is compromised and Barr is deepstate LOL
Anthony Levandowski, an American self-driving car engineer turned himself in for stealing self-driving software and selling to Uber.
This is nothing if you were expecting Brennan, Comey, McCabe etc. to be indicted.
