MILAN, Italy

I probably have that picture, and many other rare ones.

I can't email them, but if someone has an FTP server and can set up an account for a photo gallery, that could work.

The clintons really were the first crime family in our White House...
How embarrassing that would be to America. Can't let that get into the news! We'd better cover it up. /sarcasm

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Bump - and I know there are Freepers who have a way to do FTP...maybe we'll get lucky and somebody will read this thread and help out.

Last week 50 people were arrested in Operation Spiderweb and authorities are now piecing together a complicated paper trail, expecting more arrests to follow.

sounds like somebody we know got out of italy in the nick of time?

p.s. "a billion lira just ain't what it used to be".

From the 1996 article:

Suspicions, too, have been raised about nuclear smuggling to rogue states like Iran, Iraq and North Korea.

Well, well, well. The press openly MOCKED President Bush when he named the "Axis of Evil". The media said North Korea had nothing to do with Iran and Iraq. Looks like there was a connection where Nordex was concerned.

."the first lady's two brothers were involved in a nut-growing venture with a crooked Georgian warlord, whose goal is to overthrow our friend and ally, President Eduard Shevardnadze. Worse still, the Rodham brothers' partner in this venture was a man named Grigory Loutchansky...

This is interesting. When I first clicked on the thread article I reminded my husband of the Rodham hazelnut "business" and how I always thought it was an obvious money laundering scheme. Then I scroll down and see that they were dealing directly with this Loutchansky!!!

[cyncooper]

In addition to the Rodham brother' suspicious dealings in Russia, there is also brother Roger's "concert" in one of the members of the "Axis of Evil", North Korea.

I know that many of you are busy with your own projects and personal lives and I'm not one to usually ask of others.
However, if anyone could give any assistance in this issue I believe some of you may have useful knowledge to share.
HAL9000 has some pictures that could be very helpful and I'm pretty sure any help ya'll could give would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the inconvenience and imposition.

Timing is everything, isn't it. I'm trying to go back before the end of the year to, you guessed it, SICILY (no kidding!). Who's up for it? I think I could sure use someone to watch my back down there! ----------------------------------------------------------

A top executive with Mr. Rich's companies said there was no link between Mr. Rich and the companies identified in the documents.

And we should always believe what top executives of companies say . . . when you can find them, that is.

[ravingnutter]

Geez...50 posts already, and no deleted posts, I guess Murray Mom hasn't shown up to defend her man yet...or was she banned after that last diatribe? LOL!

[Ann Archy]

Grigori was at Clinton's WHITE HOUSE???? Do the Clinton's know ANYONE who isn't a CROOK....or DEAD????

That complete review linked above is a real education.

Are we sure this isn't the "Robert Friedman" who was killed today in Memphis? Maybe I'll go back to that thread just to make sure. I don't remember anyone ever posting a news release saying it was "Robert M. Friedman," who is the man we were pursuing.

[Nita Nupress]

The probe, one of the largest in recent history, was born out of the U.S. Justice Department investigation of the Bank of New York's role in large-scale money laundering from Russia in 1999.

Have you seen this? Isn't that Safra's bank?
