Tom Barrack the Falcon has withdrawn & $250M bond -EDNY Monday July 26th in person arraignment

Grimes also out on a $5M bond - also when I pointed out Falcon’s SEC filings even I can admit a withdrawal was absolutely in the cards

There are a couple of threads that now appear to connect - when I published the July & August 2019 Affidavit that was me literally low key saying;

…did the Trump Administration and Attorney General Barr improperly embargo the case?

Again the 2019 Affidavit unquestionably shows that the Government had more than enough evidence to charge Al Malik Alshahhi -hence why the Criminal Complaint and Affidavits were “limited unsealing” on at least one previous occasion. See Scribd link to the June 25, 2019 Affidavit. But it was also abundantly clear evidence (in the June 2019 affidavit) that the Government did in fact have enough evidence to charge both Grimes and Barrack in 2019 yet they didn’t seek an indictment until July 2021.

USAO-EDNY background - IMPORTANT

It is not uncommon that when a new administration is sworn in -the various US Attorneys tender their resignation(s). Again that’s SOP and expected. But I’d like to walk you through the various turnover at the USAO-EDNY. Specifically June 2020

• January 3, 2018 Attorney General Jeff Sessions Appoints Richard P. Donoghue as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District Of New York

• On June 10, 2020 - Attorney General William P. Barr Announces the Appointment of Richard P. Donoghue as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General; the USAO-EDNY encompasses Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.. and the announcements that AG Barr made that “reassigned” Donoghue to serve as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, the top deputy to Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen… I. HAVE. QUESTIONS and for the record this is going to be important in the coming months. I can’t tell you why, I’m asking you to trust me on this. Cough Zepeda yes I’m telling you the shit AG Barr did will be unearthed and it will blow your mind because it is far worse than what’s being publicly reported.

• June 10, 2020 Attorney General William P. Barr Announces the Designation of Seth D. DuCharme as Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York -also let’s NOT forget the June 2020 near cataclysmic FUBAR in the sister district of SDNY -US Attorney Berman deserved so much better than what Trump and AG Barr did to him.

• March 8, 2021 - Acting U.S Attorney Seth D. DuCharme Announces Resignation From Office

• March 22, 2021 - Mark J. Lesko Appointed Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York (because if you understand how the FVRA works then you will understand the 1st Officer hierarchy- US Attorney Lesko left the EDNY post on or about June 18, 2021

• On June 28, 2021 - Jacquelyn M. Kasulis is the Acting United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.  As Acting U.S. Attorney, Jacquelyn is the chief federal law enforcement officer for a district comprising Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island in New York City, and Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island

So as you can see (by the way all the links embedded in the aforementioned are directly from https://www.justice.gov/usao-edny or https://www.justice.gov) the turnover at EDNY was pretty bad. And look I took a lot of grief in 2018 for daring to say “Bill Barr is not a white knight, he’s going to take a wrecking ball to the Justice Department” that was in 2018. Sadly I’m pretty sure my prediction came to fruition at the peril and integrity of our DOJ - I still standby this recent article History will prove Bill Barr was Donald Trump’s most dangerous enable because I’m telling you right now, none of us know exactly what Attorney General Bill Barr did or did not do - but in my bones I know he did a lot of really dubious and deleterious shit just to protect Trump.

Also see the July 20, 2021 Barrack et a,Indictment deep dive

And then see the July 21, 2021 International Peace Power and Prosperity (IP3) Kushner, Flynn, Barrack & Bonesaw MbS and the Marshall Plan - where I went deep into the document archives, like back to 2015

Barrack out on $250Million Bond…

Which runs completely contradictory to what prosecutors filed earlier this week -stating Barrack;

poses a serious flight risk based upon: (1) the seriousness of the charged offenses and the overwhelming evidence of his guilt; (2) the defendant’s vast financial resources and access to a private aircraft on which he regularly travels internationally; and (3) the defendant’s deep and longstanding ties to countries that do not have extradition treaties with the United States. See 18 U.S.C. § 3142.

So this sudden 180 turn is something that is whiplash inducing - yet a Los Angles Federal Judge Ordered Barrack’s release with the following conditions;

• surrender his passport

• subject to GPS monitoring, an electronic bracelet

• a 10 p.m.to 6 a.m. curfew.

• barred from making any financial transactions overseas or domestic transactions over $50,000 without government consent, unless it covers legal fees. 

Barrack’s co-defendant Matthew Grimes was also released on a $5 million bond

NOTICE OF HEARING: An in person arraignment hearing as to Thomas Joseph Barrack, and Matthew Grimes will take place on 7/26/2021 at 12:00 P.M. in Courtroom 4B South before Magistrate Judge Sanket J. Bulsara -EDNY

Paula Reid @PaulaReidCNN

JUST IN: Judge approves deal to release Trump ally Thomas Barrack from jail on $250M bond secured by $5M cash. Barrack ordered to appear in NY fed court Mon for arraignment on charges of illegal foreign lobbying, lying to FBI, & obstruction. He is expected to plead “not guilty.”

House Democrats to DOJ did Trump or Barr improperly embargo the criminal charges…

Reps. Ted Lieu of California and Kathleen Rice of New York requested an

“investigation into whether Mr. Barrack or any other friends of the former President were given special treatment by the Department of Justice during the last Administration, and whether his case was inappropriately suppressed.”

Ted Lieu @tedlieu

Prosecutors apparently had enough evidence to charge Trump Inaugural Chair Tom Barrack with serious felonies well before 2021. Did AG Barr or US Attorney inappropriately suppress his case or other cases? @RepKathleenRice & I requested IG to investigate.

cnn.comTwo Democrats in Congress call on Justice Department watchdog to investigate if Barrack case ‘was inappropriately suppressed’Tom Barrack, a former adviser to former President Donald Trump, was charged with illegal foreign lobbying on behalf of the United Arab Emirates for what federal prosecutors described as an effort to influence the foreign policy positions of both the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and the subsequen…

“We understand prosecutorial discretion…But that discretion can never be based on how wealthy or connected a defendant happens to be. No one should be above the law, not the former President and not his friends. A bedrock foundation of our democracy is that every person is treated equally under the law.”

Falcon SEC filing -withdrawal

On July 20, 2021 I pointed you to two recent SEC flings of Falcon Peak - so ICYMI -because I get it that July 20th article had a lot of information

• According to this 2020 SEC Filing (I uploaded the highlighted and annotated Oct 2020 SEC registration to my Scribd Account) for Falcon Peak Partners via https://www.sec.gov/

• Also Barrack’s biography was listed under the March 21, 2021 SEC Filing (see Scribd link) - which reads in part (and this is important because if you viewed the September 2020 SEC Falcon Registration and cross reference with the March 2021 SEC Filing —there are some notable “amendments” namely Barrack:

Again provided that you know, where and what to look for you can come up with facts in various public documents. For Example Falcon Peak Acquisition Corp on July 23, 2021 formally withdrew - see Scribd link

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on behalf of Falcon Peak Acquisition Corp. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), we hereby submit this letter to notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of our withdrawal of our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254722) (the “Registration Statement”), because the Company has elected to abandon the transactions subject thereto. The Registration Statement was not declared effective and no securities have been issued or sold under the Registration Statement.

DC Attorney General and the Trump Inaugural Committee -more reading materials

on July 20, 2021 I did point you to a long forgotten Twitter thread of mine:

I’m just going to leave this right here - because much to my surprise not all of my previous Twitter research is gone. Click that link and it will unroll a pretty long forgotten thread

“FTR back in late January 2020  @AGKarlRacine sued the Trump Inauguration  on Nov 17th Tom Barrack was also deposed 
https://oag.dc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-01/Trump-PIC-Complaint.pdf 

AG Karl A. Racine @AGKarlRacine

We filed suit after gathering evidence that the Presidential Inaugural Committee knowingly entered into a grossly overpriced contract with the Trump Hotel. Any claim to the contrary is incorrect.

A copy of the complaint is available at: https://oag.dc.gov/sites/default/files/2020-01/Trump-PIC-Complaint.pdf

A copy of the supplemental investigation documents is available at: http://bit.ly/Trump-PIC-Complaint-Supporting-Documents

I mean it’s not like I don’t read deposition transcripts several times a week and I’m paid pretty well to do that and highlight tiny details - for example -who knew that Barrack’s Colony Capital and Trump International Hotel…

Below is a cringe worthy exchange - mainly because any time you prepare a witness for a deposition or any kind of oral testimony. We typically instruct the client to listen carefully to the question(s) asked. Take a moment (like internally count to 3) and then only respond to the limited perimeters of the question(s) asked.
Another delay tactic, for example DC Superior Court civil rules ¹ of procedure cap Depositions to seven hours per day - is asking for the questioner to repeat the question(s) or feigning you don’t understand the question(s). Whereas in neighboring Virginia Courts, civil deposition have a limit of four hours per day unless the Court grants a request to extend the deposition (which is extraordinarily rare) —similarly Maryland Courts Of Civil ² procedure also have limitations governing depositions, see WestLaw -again I’m not talking about Federal Rules of Civil procedure

Here you’ll note that Barrack decides to change the question(s) asked about the Trump Organization versus Trump International Hotel. For a lay person most will overlook this glaring divergence in Barrack’s DC Attorney General Deposition of him…

Now another legal tactic is if you have a deponent who’s willing to proffer information that you didn’t actually ask - this is when you sit back and let the deponent just keep talking

So I’m only page 19 into about 800+ pages of the exhibits filed by the DC Attorney General - and I’ll likely do a follow up article tomorrow with excepts from the various Depositions the Washington DC Attorney General conducted during the Investigation into the Trump Inaugural Committee - because the Trump White House with the help of Maggie and Ken truly tried to ruin @SWinstonWolkoff by falsely portraying her as the culprit what happened to the millions in the Inaugural Fund. Ms Winston Wolkoff nearly had her entire life destroyed. Her family was targeted. She nearly lost her decades long career. We owe her a huge debt of gratitude because she stood tall and came with receipts.

Confidential Memo: Company of Trump Inaugural Chair Sought to Profit From Connections to Administration, Foreigners ⁦@glennkirschner2⁩ ⁦@MeidasTouch⁩ ⁦@TheRickWilson⁩

propublica.orgConfidential Memo: Company of Trump Inaugural Chair Sought to Profit From Connections to Administration, ForeignersThe memo outlines how Colony, the company founded by Tom Barrack, an investor who chaired the inaugural, aimed to exploit its connections to Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors are conducting a wide-ranging probe into the nonprofit that ran the inaugural.

For now I think you have a few factoids to chew on and tomorrow I’ll provide you more because like I said I’m only s fraction of the way through the 800+ exhibits filed in May of 2021.
