2…………> AG Deputy Rosenstein: US House 

Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Nadler, and members of the Committee, I always welcome the opportunity to appear before this distinguished committee, but this is not a happy occasion.

Federal Bureau of Investigation employees deviated from important principles in 2016 and 2017. Everyone knew about some of the departures when they occurred – such as discussing criminal investigations and encroaching on prosecutorial decisions. We learned about others through an internal investigation – such as leaking to the news media and exhibiting political bias.

We need to correct errors, hold wrongdoers accountable, and deter future violations. Director Wray will describe what the FBI is doing to accomplish those goals. At the Department of Justice, our mandatory annual training will include lessons from the Inspector General’s report, and we are considering other recommendations.

We already revised the Department’s confidentiality policies to emphasize that “non-public, sensitive information obtained in connection with [our] work is protected from disclosure.” We intend to enforce that principle for our employees, and we need to demonstrate respect for it ourselves by protecting sensitive information entrusted to the FBI.

5…………> Life On Enceladus: Organics Detected 

An international spacecraft has discovered complex organic molecules originating from an icy moon orbiting the planet of Saturn, detected by the Cassini spacecraft after they were ejected in ice grains through cracks in Enceladus’ icy shell.

“It is the first-ever detection of complex organics coming from an extraterrestrial water world,” they said.

Cassini previously flew near to Enceladus in 2005 and discovered lighter organic molecules. Larger molecules like those recently detected are created by chemical processes that could support life, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).

1…………> “Dark Net” Vendors: Arrested

 

ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in New York, working with its law enforcement partners, conducted an unprecedented operation to infiltrate and destabilize U.S. based Darknet vendors operating across multiple markets around the country.

Special Agents of HSI New York, in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, posed as a money launderer on Darknet market sites, exchanging U.S. currency for virtual currency. Through this operation, HSI New York was able to identify numerous vendors of illicit goods, leading to the opening of more than 90 active cases around the country. The Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section (MLARS) of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, working with more than 40 U.S. Attorney’s Offices throughout the country, coordinated the nationwide investigation of over 65 targets, that lead to the arrest and impending prosecution of more than 35 Darknet vendors.

“The Darknet is ever-changing and increasingly more intricate, making locating and targeting those selling illicit items on this platform more complicated. But in this case, HSI special agents were able to walk amongst those in the cyber underworld to find those vendors who sell highly addictive drugs for a profit,” said Acting HSI Executive Associate Director Benner. “The veil has been lifted. HSI has infiltrated the Darknet, and together with its law enforcement partners nationwide, it has proven, once again, that every criminal is within arm’s reach of the law,” Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein said.


“Criminals who think that they are safe on the Darknet are wrong. We can expose their networks, and we are determined to bring them to justice. Today, we arrested more than 35 alleged Darknet vendors. We seized their weapons, their drugs, and $23.6 million of their ill-gotten gains. This nationwide enforcement effort will reduce the supply of deadly drugs like fentanyl that are killing an unprecedented number of Americans. I want to thank our federal prosecutors, and the dedicated federal agents with DEA, Homeland Security Investigations, the Postal Inspection Service, and the Secret Service for their outstanding work.”

 

 

 

2…………> Securities Fraud: MA

A former executive vice president of State Street Bank & Trust identified as 

Ross McLellan, 47, of Hingham, Massachusetts was convicted by a federal jury in Boston in connection with engaging in a scheme to defraud at least six of the bank’s clients through secret commissions applied to billions of dollars of securities trades.


“State Street’s clients, including institutional investors managing pensions for retirees, entrusted McLellan and his subordinates to transition billions of dollars in assets,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General John Cronan. “Rather than living up to the responsibility to act in their clients’ best interests, McLellan and his co-conspirators stole from these victims by charging hidden commissions and then lying about the scheme to cover their tracks. This conviction is a testament to the dedication of the FBI and prosecutors in the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney’s Office to protecting innocent investors by investigating and prosecuting complex financial crimes.”In April 2016, McLellan, a former executive vice president of State Street who served as global head of its Portfolio Solutions Group and president of its U.S. broker-dealer, was indicted with Edward Pennings, 47, of Surrey, England, a former senior managing director of State Street and the head of its Portfolio Solutions Group for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.As established by the evidence at trial, between February 2010 and September 2011, McLellan, Pennings and Richard Boomgaardt, 44, of Sevenoaks, England, a former managing director of State Street, conspired to add secret commissions to fixed income and equity trades performed for at least six clients of the bank’s “transition management” business, which helps institutional clients move their investments between and among asset managers or liquidate large investment portfolios. The commissions were charged on top of fees the clients had agreed to pay the bank and despite written instructions to the bank’s traders that generally reflected that the clients were not to be charged trading commissions. McLellan, Pennings, and Boomgaardt took steps to hide the commissions from the clients and others within the bank, including by directing that the commissions not be broken out in post-trade reports.

3…………>  Sore Losers: Dem’s States AG

 

Despite a decision by US Supreme court upholding President Trump’s administration’s travel ban, an LA federal judge has ordered that migrant children and their parents who were separated when they crossed into the US should be reunited within 30 days, an injunction in a case related to DOJ “zero-tolerance” immigration policy.

In a new wave of hostility towards the policy of breaking up families at the Mexico border, 17 US states, identified as Massachusetts, Washington, New York, California, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia plus the District of Columbia have launched a lawsuit to terminate the policy.

5…………> Trump To Meet Putin: Austria

 

President  Trump’s national security adviser John Bolton met President Putin in the Kremlin as a prelude for talks intended to set the stage for a US-Russian summit, a first step toward improving ties.

“Your visit to Moscow raises hopes that we may make the first steps in the restoration of fully-fledged relations between our governments,” Mr. Putin said, adding that Russia “has never been seeking confrontation” with the US, offering to discuss what can be done to “restore full-fledged relations based on equality and mutual respect.”

Mr. Bolton said he was looking forward to discussing “how to improve Russia-US relations and find areas where we can agree and make progress together.”

He added that when Moscow and Washington had differences in the past, Russian and US leaders still met.

“Even in earlier days when our countries had differences, our leaders and their advisers met, and I think that was good for both countries, good for civility in the world,” Mr. Bolton said, emphasizing that “President Trump feels very strongly on that subject.”

Vienna, Austria has been mentioned as a possible location for such a meeting, but no details have been made public.

1…………> Under Fire: McCabe

The Office of the Inspector General Michael Horowitz has referred its findings of its investigation on former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe to the US attorney in Washington for possible criminal prosecution, which must take into account by his recently fired boss Mr. James Comey who said that doesn’t recall Mr. McCabe had said he authorized officials to communicate with a reporter, a statement that could have an impact on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. 

Responding to the report, Mr. McCabe said that repeated calls by Mr. Trump to fire him created an unfair rush to judgment, emphasizing that he was authorized to share the information with reporters, and never intentionally mislead anyone.

NAPLES, Italy (NNS) — The Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (HSTCSG) entered the U.S. 6th Fleet area of operations April 18, 2018, as part of a routine deployment in support of NATO allies, European and African partner nations, coalition partners, and U.S. national security interests in Europe and Africa.

Our U.S. 6th fleet motto is “Power for Peace,” and there is no more recognizable symbol of American naval power than a carrier strike group. Their presence in this vital region is a reflection of our commitment to a safe, prosperous and free Europe and Africa.”

3…………> Sore Losers: DNC Lawsuit

 

The Democratic Party is suing Russia, the Trump campaign and Wikileaks for conspiring to disrupt the 2016 presidential election, alleging that the campaign “gleefully accepted Russia’s help” to win the election, despite President Trump’ repeated denials of colluding with Russia.

“Deep State”, “Scorched Earth” US intelligence agencies operatives appointed by our 1st Muslim President, Grand Ayatollah Barack Obama have previously concluded Moscow had tried to sway the election in GOP’s favour, charges that have been rejected by statement from DOJ Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein that Mr. Trump is not a target by the Mueller or Cohen’s investigations.

4…………> Nazi Diehearts: SS Festival

The “Shield and Sword” festival (or “SS Festival” for short) in to open in the small eastern German town of Ostritz on Friday April 20, Adolf Hitler’s birthday, as nearly 1,000 pink cheeks, goose-stepping far-right extremists goons are expected to descend on a small town in eastern Germany this weekend.

The Islamic Merkeldom of Germany’s extreme right National Party (NPD) is believed to be behind the gathering.
