The “USELESS” US Congress was too busy cashing in everyway they can. ...... corrupt career politicians lacking any real oversight or accountability developed numerous ways to bilk American taxpayers and divert our tax dollars into their own pockets probably using brother-in-law (or friend) subcontractor kickback schemes.

Moving money around always leaves a paper/electronic trail. Like the check-cashing scheme few years back, many many of these lowlife elected types were involved.

================================================

REFERENCE Banks rigorously drill money laundering/terrorist funding MO into the heads of all bank employees. EVERY transaction -- especially by those who are politically involved -- is subject to scrutiny.

Every suspected transaction will have a report filled out and filed about it. If it involves international transfers and shady characters (think of the latest list of the Friends of Bill) the issues - each and every one -- would be escalated to senior management.

The bank reports themselves are required to be on file for 5 years. Discussion of such reports -- even their existence -- is strictly controlled and generally forbidden. Yet they remain on record.

WRT THE CLINTONS---there is no way -- categorically N.O. way -- in a Patriot-Act world that anyone could have pulled off what is alleged against the Clinton Foundation. Unless it was a Clinton, acting with the express complicity of some very high-ups at some very big banks.

I suppose it's conceivable that suspicious activity reports were duly passed on to OCC (bank oversight agencies)....and whomever else has jurisdiction and there they were buried.

But some bankers still know about them. Unless they weren't filed, and that itself is a crime under the applicable law. (hat tip 9th Life)

Hmmmmmmmm....that sounds like a job for The Donald....who knows every banker on earth.

Oh I’ve investigated cotprruption and financial fraud for years. If the transactions were in the actual names of the politicians involved it would be so easy but they never are. Being lawyers they know to set up shell companies, trusts and use proxies to handle their transaction to bypass scrutiny. Offshore accounts amd online banking make it even more difficult to investigate. Many of the cases are opened when someone involved in the process gets mistreated by the politician and they come forward.
