New York Senator Charles Schumer was instrumental in getting Bharara appointed to that position and in return was asked from time to time to do favors for the senator and his allies. Up until recently, President Trump had no idea what was really going on. Once President Trump’s staff understood the quid pro quo, they had no choice but to ask for Bharara’s resignation.
In 2015, Puerto Rico defaulted on $70 billion in municipal bonds. Those involved panicked. There was ample evidence that the issuing agencies were technically bankrupt when they issued the bonds and that they purchased fraudulent credit ratings from Moody’s Fitch and S&P. Wall Street’s biggest banks then knowingly sold junk bonds to innocent investors, labeling them as safe investments. Everyone made a ton of money, except the innocent investors.
The evidence of this massive criminal act was overwhelming. The lawsuits and complaints to the FBI and SEC were streaming in. Dozens of Wall Street executives could go to prison. This was serious.

That’s only part of it. He was the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY - guess what is in his juristiction? Clinton Foundation, Tony Weiner, Huma, and more. All being slow-walked by Preet. Now that he’s gone, hopefully things will change. Remember the FBI can investigate all they want to but if the Prosecutor won’t bring the case, it goes nowhere.
People must be loading that server. Not good if this is true and starts getting corroborated.
You slow walk the case to keep the bribes coming in.
Winningly Swamp Draining -
I am in the sunny Carribbee.. this is the most corrupt spot on the planet operated by the Swamp... tourism picking up due to election.
Yes, DC and GB are running that corruption.
Check out the origins of Lime and Haiti.
WiFi and Clinton corruption
Schumer put together a small team consisting of himself, Elizabeth Warren, Senator Blumenthal and Senator Feinstein. In January 2016, they submitted a rider to the energy bill that unbelievably would prevent the innocent bondholders from suing.
All four politicians were quickly rewarded and the Wall Street contributions flooded in.
Then an understanding was stuck with US Attorney Bharara that investigations would be sidetracked and no prosecutions would take place. As pressure was building with the public discovery of hundreds of new felonies related to the issuance of this $70 billion in bonds, the DOJ continued to ignore the evidence and sidetrack all efforts by their field personnel to prosecute. Bharara was paying back his mentor in spades.
The four senators continued to press for a prohibition of law suits, confiscation of what was left of the $70 billion in bond proceeds and a revocation of all the bond holders’ legal rights. They got what they were hoping for in the PROMESA legislation. The politicians then went on to shape an argument that whatever money was left that was not already stolen should be given to underfunded union pensions.
Bharara was given a huge amount of information, including sworn testimony of the fraud and over 10,000 pages of documentary evidence. A second year law student could have convicted all parties under our current RICO statutes yet Bharara did nothing.
Thanks for the link. Very interesting revelations. BTTT.
Odds of this story making news...01%.
In a sane, non fake news world, this would be all people were talking about.
Sessions should run with this and take Schumer out.
I was sort of surprised to see the supposedly saintly defender of little people included among the conspirators against the bondholders. Maybe she doesn’t intend to run for POTUS after all.
Now that the prosecutor has been fired and this whole caper is public, it stacks some serious against, Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Senator Blumenthal and Senator Feinstein.
Ahh, in the style of Francis Underwood's "House of Cards"
That would be a very good thing.
Some people need to go to prison. Or shot.
Prison at least.
Book marking
I don’t doubt that some will die before testifying.
Someone check and see if the PROMESA legislation was championed by Paul Ryan. Seems like he was a YUGE advocate for the Puerto Rico bailout.
“That’s only part of it. He was the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY - guess what is in his juristiction? Clinton Foundation, Tony Weiner, Huma, and more. All being slow-walked by Preet. “
Add in what I have intimate knowledge of, the so called “Black Friday” online gaming investigation that Preet ran. Note he never indicted Harry Reid for taking a $2 m bribe. Huge coverup.
