I have long suspected that many of our politicians in this country have succumbed to temptation when offered plata o plomo. Why else would the border remain wide open while our communities are flooded with fentanyl? While this article doesn't necessarily prove my suspicions, it is at least evidence that I'm not the only one who suspects. I'm still kinda dozing through all this until somebody goes to jail but I'm afraid nobody will go to jail as long as Merrick Garland is Attorney General. It's a long and twisted article. Read the rest at the link. Here is the link to Thaler/Harris Law Corporation's report titled Preliminary Findings of Activities Impacting Arizona's Election Integrity, with Specific Focus on 2020 and 2022 General Elections.
[PostMillennial] "Katie Hobbs and Runbeck election services have been named as recipients of Sinaloa cartel bribes via deeds of trust and phony mortgages in AZ senate investigation."
A California-based law firm has accused Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, Runbeck Election Services, and a slew of other election officials, mayors, judges, city councilman, and county supervisors in the state of receiving bribes from the Sinaloa cartel.
During a Thursday hearing before the Senate Elections and Municipal Oversight & Elections Joint Committee, the principal investigator for Harris/Thaler Law Corporation, Jacqueline Breger, presented their shocking findings, detailing how a money-laundering investigation in the midwest revealed alleged corruption in Arizona.
"In 2006, the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa investigated the laundering of drug cartel monies through a complex series of single-family home purchases in those states," Breger told the committee. "By 2009, numerous real estate agents, escrow companies and title insurers had been indicted, charged and convicted of racketeering. In 2014, our office was asked to review the case files and to determine whether monies from the sales of the properties had filtered to property purchases in Arizona, specifically in Maricopa and Pima County."
The Sinaloa cartel is notorious for being led by the infamous "El Chapo," the Mexican drug lord whose real name is Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, who was widely considered to have been one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the world before his capture in 2016.
According to the investigator, it was concluded that several real estate agents in Iowa "had set up a laundering system in Arizona and thereafter had transferred the proceeds of sales to Panamanian Corporations."
"In 2018, Mr. Thaler discovered, incidental to another matter, a series of trust deeds evidencing that cash laundering through single family residences in Arizona was pervasive and ongoing," Breger continued. "With that, a new investigation began with the focus being on money laundering and related racketeering activities in Maricopa County and several other Arizona counties. The Harris/Thaler office currently represents several parties directly damaged by the racketeering activities."
In the nearly 100-page report, Breger dug into the entire investigation, naming Dawna Rae Chavez, a resident of Mesa, Arizona, and her daughter, Brittany Rae Chavez, as "principal preparers of the documents necessary to effect the racketeering enterprises."
"To date, more than 10,000 falsified documents have been recorded with the Maricopa County Recorder. We estimate that more than 35,000 warranty deeds/trust deeds evidencing fraudulent transactions exist in the database. 11. The number of falsified notarizations exceeds 15,000. 12. Dawna and Brittany's participation in racketeering activities also includes facilitation of bribes to public officials, tax evasion, payroll theft, bankruptcy fraud, insurance fraud, and extortion," Breger said.
