Vatican police raided the offices of the Holy See's Secretariat of State and its Financial Information Authority, or AIF, on Tuesday and took away documents and electronic devices as part of an investigation of suspected financial irregularities, a Vatican statement said.

It was believed to be the first time the two departments were searched for evidence involving alleged financial crimes.

The Secretariat of State, the most powerful department in the Vatican, is the nerve center of its bureaucracy and diplomacy and the administrative heart of the worldwide Catholic Church.

The AIF, headed by Swiss lawyer Rene Bruelhart, is the financial controller, with authority over all Vatican departments.

Barr and Durham were in Rome this weekend, Pompeo is meeting with the Pope (Tomorrow?) I’m sure all of that is just a coinkydink, right?? Surprisingly, no real mention of this raid in US Headline News. I wonder why??

It seems they are following the Mifsud and Money Laundering trails.... And it would explain the total freak-out by the top Democrats last week.

There is something powerful going on, just hope it is GOOD powerful.

(Still think this money laundering, communism/Marxism push, deep state, coup, Ukraine and impeachment attempt are connected in some way to Epstein or his “business”.)

It was kind of odd that a Pope resigned rather than die in office as is customary, during the Obama Administration, to be replaced by a hard Leftist.

All of these stories seem to be connected, Smollet, Epstein, #FusionCollusion, etc. Maybe it is because they are. It is always the same “Deep State” actors that are the puppets of corrupt American Oligarchs. So when they pick up the phone and say “Let Jussie go”, Jussie gets let go and Jussie STAYS “let go”. Look at any of these stories and trace it back far enough you run into a Michelle 0bama or some other Corrupt American Oligarch.

IIRC Tucker said last night it comes down to some 500 people who get to determine what happens and what doesn’t...and they all hate Trump.

Because he inspires the many to have his back. He is a singular individual. His doubling down makes everyone that much stronger.

I heard a line last night that was hilarious. “He is good cop and bad cop at the same time but the thing is he is the only one who can pull it off!”

Poor Dems are going to go down hard and maybe even finally. They won’t know what hit them repeatedly, even in the end.

Interesting connection to US politics. More problems about Vatican finances are explained in this July 28 article in the Natl Catholic Register:

Hidden assets are uncounted, probably worth billions, and questions have been met with stonewalling, or, in the case of Cardinal Pell, false criminal charges that ended his efforts.
