Haitian President: Clintons ‘Raped And Pillaged My Beloved Haiti’

Former Senate President of Haiti, Bernard Sansaricq, has criticized Bill and Hillary Clinton for “raping and pillaging my beloved Haiti“, and urged President Trump to investigate the financial affairs of the Clinton Foundation.

Appearing at an event in Little Haiti, Florida, Donald Trump gave Bernard Sansaricq the opportunity to speak about the disastrous impact the Clinton’s had on Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake.

Bernard Sansaricq did not disappoint. Explaining he has “nothing left to lose“, he launched into an impassioned speech, detailing how Bill Clinton tried to bribe him, promising he would make him the “richest man in Haiti” if he used his position as Senate President to assist the Clintons in looting the island of its wealth.

Addressing Donald Trump and the Floridian crown, Bernard Sansaricq explained how the Clintons have abused their positions of power, and stolen billions of dollars in the process.

“In February of 1994 I became president of the Senate and I had to deal with the Clinton invasion of Haiti.

“I was working with American intelligence at that time. Clinton wanted to buy me out.

“I was hitting very hard on several fronts. To try to appease me he sent Bill Richardson who was a congressman at that time. I spent four hours with Bill Richardson.

“A week later the American embassy called me to tell me that President Clinton had sent a messenger for me. He did not give me his name.

“He said ‘Mr. Sansaricq you join our movement, you side with Bill Clinton and we’ll make you the richest man in Haiti.’“

Bernard Sansaricq told the audience, comprised of mostly Haitian immigrants, that he refused the offer. There is not enough money on earth to convince him to assist criminals like the Clintons loot his beloved Haiti.

Then, a week after refusing to do the Clinton’s bidding, he was informed that his American visa was revoked.

With Sansaricq isolated in Haiti, America’s Clinton-supporting media could stifle his voice. The Clintons could continue their criminal operations without the inconvenience of the fourth estate questioning their actions.

Sansaricq then explained how the Clinton Foundation received billions of dollars from Bill’s corporate “friends”, who in return got preferential treatment in looting the island nation.

“Then in 2010, after the earthquake in Haiti not only American taxpayers but the whole world has given billions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation for the Haitians.”

But the Clintons conned the world. The thieves at the Clinton Foundation pocketed the money, giving a minuscule percentage to Haiti in its hour of desperate need.

“Not even 2% of that money went back to Haiti.

“So Mr. Trump, we are asking you, begging you, the Haitian community will side with you if one day, you ask Hillary Clinton publicly to disclose the audit of all of the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake.”

The billions of dollars in charitable donations looted by the Clintons remain a key factor in Haiti’s dire economic plight to this day. The earthquake leveled the island to the ground. People around the world were stunned by the devastation and reached deep into their pockets, determined to help the Haitians.

But in the end, it was the Clinton’s bank balance that received a multi-billion dollar boost.

The Clinton’s Haitian shame cannot be forgotten. The Haitian people simply cannot forget. Justice must be served. Bernard Sansaricq wants Trump to “publicly to disclose the audit of all of the money they have stolen from Haiti in 2010 after the earthquake.” This would go a long way to securing justice for the Haitian people, as well as the generous donors to the relief fund who had their money stolen.

For his part, Trump is moving to fulfill his promise to Sansaricq. Just last week ABC News reported that the FBI and the DOJ have put new resources into the investigation into the Clinton Foundation. Mainstream media is finding it harder to deny the Clinton Foundation was a pay-for-play slush fund.

The tangled web weaved by the Clintons is continuing to unravel.

Columnist Kristen McQueary: Federal investigators have raided the homes of three of House Speaker Michael Madigan's closest confidants. The circle is tightening.

There’s something particularly unsettling about federal agents barging into the homes of Speaker Michael Madigan’s closest confidants. The raids didn’t unfold at campaign headquarters or a law firm or a City Hall office. They were unannounced impositions into sacred spaces, into living rooms, along picture-framed hallways, near tossed shoes and empty coffee cups and unmade beds. They were personal.

The feds in mid-May visited the homes of Madigan’s longtime foot soldier, Kevin Quinn; Madigan’s friend and Springfield workhorse, Mike McClain; and his Southwest Side ally, former Chicago Ald. Michael R. Zalewski, in what is now believed to have been a coordinated effort by federal law enforcement officials in Chicago.

The feds also served utility giant ComEd with a grand jury subpoena inquiring about the company’s lobbying practices. McClain has been one of several deeply connected lobbyists for ComEd. Multiple sources have indicated the feds are exploring whether jobs or favors were requested or exchanged between the company and government leaders. If investigators can verify that trade-offs benefited insiders to grease ComEd’s legislative agenda — a private benefit for a government act — they could move forward with allegations of criminal activity.

It’s tricky ground. Horse-trading in politics is legal — I’ll vote for your bill if you vote for mine — so long as it doesn’t depend on personal or financial gain. But elected officials can’t use the public’s business to benefit themselves, their friends or their families.

What we’ve seen endlessly in this city and state are political activities that cross the line. Extortion. Bribery. Corruption. The Tribune has tracked 30 aldermen since 1972 convicted of crimes related to their official duties.

“Hire my kid and I’ll help with your legislation.”

“Pick my law firm and I’ll expedite your building permit.”

“Give me campaign donations so I can pay my mortgage.”

Then-Ald. Michael R. Zalewski, 23rd, appears at Chicago City Hall in 2012. Federal agents raided Zalewski's home in May.

Columnist Kristen McQueary: Federal investigators have raided the homes of three of House Speaker Michael Madigan's closest confidants. The circle is tightening.

For the feds to receive a judge’s approval to search the homes of Madigan’s friends, the suspicion of illegal activity on someone’s part had to be recent. The feds had to convince a judge the “fruits” or instruments of a recent crime could be found inside the homes of Quinn, McClain and Zalewski. Judges sign off on search warrants for activity that is urgent. They also limit what can be searched — a home office, a basement storage unit, a laptop. The raids evidently were not the stuff of television dramas, of sliced-up couch cushions or overturned tables. The searches were so quiet, word only leaked out weeks after they were over.

We don’t know if the feds found anything. Quinn, McClain and Zalewski are not accused of wrongdoing. They have not been charged with a crime. Prosecutors got permission to search. That’s it.

Their link, though, is Madigan, the longtime House speaker known for being meticulous in separating his public and personal roles. The confluence of characters, of his closest associates, cannot be discounted. These subjects were not chosen at random. Could it indicate a tightening of prosecutorial focus on the longtime speaker?

Four years into George Ryan’s term as governor, several members of his inner circle known as his “kitchen cabinet” got slapped with indictments. Lawrence Warner, Donald Udstuen, Alan Drazek and Roger Stanley — names unfamiliar to most people outside government — faced charges alleging they personally profited from corruption schemes linked to Illinois government. They had landed lucrative state leases on property they owned. They had created side companies to hide payoffs, slipped each other envelopes of cash and personally benefited from contracts they helped steer through Metra, state government and a national political campaign.

They slopped at the trough of taxpayers and took care of their friend, the governor. They were his loyalists. They risked. They schemed. Eventually under pressure from the feds, some of them flipped and cooperated in building a case against Ryan, including his confidant and former chief of staff, Scott Fawell. Fawell remained a hostile witness at trial, but he provided detail into the schemes that Ryan knew about. Ryan was convicted in 2006 on 18 felony corruption counts and sentenced to 6 1/2 years in prison.

In Ryan’s case, investigators picked off the less vital organs before aiming at the heart. Is that happening here? Too early to say. But it’s starting to look like a familiar surgical strike.

BS billing errors, shilling errors…nice tear wipe nbc reeeeeeeee!

FBI agents raided the DWP headquarters and Figueroa Plaza offices today, as well as City Hall East as the City Attorney's Office confirmed the searches were related to the billing errors a few years back.

FBI agents served search warrants at the downtown headquarters of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and City Hall East Monday as part of a probe into the city's handling of litigation and a settlement over the botched rollout of a DWP billing system.

"As has been reported, the FBI served search warrants for documents on several city employees at (City Hall East) and DWP offices, including some of our staff members," said Rob Wilcox of the City Attorney's Office.

"The warrants served on our staff relate to issues that have arisen over the class-action litigation and settlement surrounding the DWP billing system and the city's lawsuit against (PricewaterhouseCoopers). We have and will continue to cooperate fully with the expectation that the investigation will be completed expeditiously."

FBI authorities declined to comment on specifics of the investigation.

"We are confirming a search warrant at Los Angeles DWP in downtown Los Angeles, but are prohibited from commenting further because affidavits involved in the warrant are sealed," Katherine Gulotta of the FBI in Los Angeles told City News Service.

The botched rollout of the DWP billing system in 2013 led to thousands of customers receiving inaccurate bills, with some being wildly overcharged.

The debacle prompted a class-action lawsuit that led to a settlement requiring the DWP to reimburse customers roughly $67 million.

The city and DWP, meanwhile, sued PricewaterhouseCoopers over its handling of the system's rollout.

But PricewaterhouseCoopers earlier this year questioned the city's relationship with an outside attorney it hired to handle the litigation against the company.

The firm said the attorney, Paul Paradis, was hired by the city as a legal consultant in its lawsuit against the company, while he was also serving as legal counsel suing the city on behalf of a DWP customer in the class-action lawsuit.

PricewaterhouseCoopers argued in court papers that the arrangement with Paradis was made specifically to secure a more favorable legal outcome for the city and DWP.

While the city denied wrongdoing, it subsequently canceled $30 million in contracts it had awarded Paradis for legal services and efforts to correct the billing system issues.

Paradis and the city both denied any wrongdoing.

An attorney for Paradis told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year that Paradis stepped down as special counsel for the city to focus on "cybersecurity work" he was doing for the DWP.

City Attorney Mike Feuer said at the time the city was conducting a review of the situation to see if any ethics rules were violated.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office issued a statement acknowledging the FBI's presence at the Civic Center complex.

"We were notified earlier this morning that federal search warrants were being executed today," said Alex Comisar, press secretary for Garcetti. "The mayor believes that any criminal wrongdoing should be investigated and prosecuted. His expectation is that any city employee asked to cooperate will do so fully and immediately."

The FBI has separately been conducting a corruption probe at City Hall focused on downtown-area real estate developments and foreign investments in the projects, specifically from select Chinese investors.

Federal agents served search warrants in November at City Councilman Jose Huizar's offices and home.

Court documents originally obtained by the Los Angeles Times and counterterrorism expert Seamus Hughes suggested the probe is focused on potential crimes including bribes, kickbacks or money laundering.

No criminal charges have been filed and no arrests have been made.

Huizar has denied any wrongdoing.

According to a 2018 search warrant affidavit targeting the email account of former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Ray Chan, who also led the city's Department of Building and Safety, investigators were searching for information relating to a wide array of people, including Huizar and Councilman Curren Price, Chinese investment groups and a trio of downtown hotel projects.

FloridaMan sentenced to 4 years for defrauding military families

A local man who conned military families across the country, including a victim of a terrorist attack, will serve time in federal prison.

A judge sentenced John Shannon Simpson, 43, to four years behind bars for wire fraud and ordered him to pay more than $141,000 in restitution. Simpson is also serving nine years in a Florida prison for unrelated charges.

Simpson took a plea deal back in March, confessing to using his organization “Marines and Mickey” to steal from military families.

Simpson moved to Estero in 2014 and started his charity. But it wasn’t until after a terrorist attack at an armed forces recruiting station in Tennesse that FBI and Navy personnel investigated where money for Simpson’s charity was coming from.

In 2015, gunfire erupted at a recruiting station in Chattanooga, killing four marines and one member of the Navy. One of those victims was young marine Skip Wells from Marietta, Georgia.

It was a tragedy for all concerned, but that didn’t stop Simpson from moving in and defrauding Wells’ mother. Simpson promised to get other Marines to Disney World, a favorite place for Cathy and her son. Cathy donated to the charity.

“He was very personable,” said Andy Kingery, a close friend of the Wells family. “He was intent on his project, which had been set up before this event. He moved in on her because of opportunity. He knew what he was talking about. He knew the right things to say, and he caught us at a bad moment.”

Kingery said about two months after donating to Simpson’s charity, they knew something was wrong and reported him. That’s when the FBI and the Navy took down the scam.

Among other victims of Simpson’s schemes was NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.

Kingery said Wells’ family is glad Simpson will serve time and pay up.

“She was able to look him in the face, and I think that gave her great satisfaction,” Kingery said. “Reminding him she did not go away. She was not a silent victim.”

Ex-Zetas boss Omar Treviño sentenced to 18 years

Published on Monday, July 22, 2019

He is believed responsible for the deaths of 72 in the San Fernando Massacre and a Monterrey casino fire that killed 52

A federal judge sentenced the former leader of the infamous Los Zetas cartel to 18 years in prison for operations involving illegally-sourced funds and for possession of illegal firearms.

Óscar Omar Treviño Morales, known as “El Z42,” once bragged he had killed 1,000 people. He has several other criminal charges pending.

Treviño, 45, took over leadership of the Zetas after his brother Miguel Treviño Morales was arrested in July 2013. He ranked near the top of the previous federal government’s most-wanted list and was considered to be one of Mexico’s most violent cartel leaders, leading Mexican authorities to offer 30 million pesos (close to US $2 million at the time) for information leading to his capture. North of the border, United States authorities offered $5 million.

Omar Treviño was captured by federal forces in 2015 at one of his homes in San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, one of the wealthiest municipalities in Mexico.

The gang was formed in the 1990s by former military personnel as the enforcement arm of the Gulf Cartel. The gang later broke off and engaged in a bloody and enduring feud with its parent organization, battling the Gulf Cartel and others for control of drug routes and territory in Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Nuevo León. The conflicts led to a record increase in homicide, drug trafficking, extortion and kidnapping in those states.

Los Zetas had a reputation for being one of Mexico’s most vicious cartels, often torturing and beheading their victims before hanging them from bridges and other public spaces. The organization began to fragment after Miguel Treviño’s arrest.

Omar Treviño was thought to be less intelligent than his brother but he did have a reputation for ruthlessness. The former is believed to have been responsible for the 2010 massacre of 72 undocumented migrants in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, and the 2011 fire at the Casino Royale in Monterrey, Nuevo León, that killed 52 people.

Ex-judge Tracie Hunter sentence causes Cincinnati courtroom chaos…

WATCH: Chaos erupts in Cincinnati courtroom after former judge is sentenced for mishandling document

Authorities held a woman back and the crowd screamed as a deputy removed ex-judge Tracie Hunter from the courtroom Monday morning after she was ordered to begin a six-month sentence.

Judge Patrick Dinkelacker executed the sentence despite push back from Hunter's supporters and a letter from the mayor.

Hunter was convicted of mishandling a confidential document in 2014. She has been free since then because she has been appealing.

After Dinkelacker ordered authorities to take her to jail, Hunter appeared to go limp as she stood from her seat, and a deputy dragged her out of the courtroom.

“She passed out,” someone yelled, but Hunter appeared to be conscious. She looked around and flicked her fingers as the deputy dragged her from the courtroom.

"This city is going to burn," someone shouted.

At least one person was taken into custody after Dinkelacker handed down the decision, authorities said.

In a letter, Mayor John Cranley asked Dinkelacker to not execute Hunter's sentence.

Cranley said Hunter should not be placed in jail because she’s been punished enough professionally and because she has not committed a violent crime.

“I appreciate that she has been convicted but serving prison time seems to me to be disproportionate to her crime,” Cranley said.

Prior to Dinkelacker’s decision, he read a letter from Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters, which said Hunter has never felt remorse and that he believes she has some sort of “mental condition.” Deters asked that Hunter be evaluated before her sentence is executed.

Hunter’s attorney, David Singleton, asked Dinkelacker to not execute the sentence that was imposed and to give Hunter’s attorneys time to file a motion to dismiss the case.

“I would ask you on behalf of Tracie Hunter to end this today for her," Singleton said. "She has had as a result of this case, she’s lost everything."

Dinkelacker said he has received 45 postcards at his home pressuring him to exonerate Hunter.

Dinkelacker said no judge should have to go through what he has gone through.

“I will never, ever, ever bow to that type of pressure,” Dinkelacker said.

Attorneys for Hunter have contended the case against her stemmed from politics. The Democrat took the bench after being declared the winner of a disputed 2010 election.

She stood trial on eight other counts that were dismissed after a jury couldn't reach a verdict on them.

Supporters have rallied publicly for allowing her to remain free.
