If you aren’t particularly concerned about what is occurring in our country politically; and nonetheless you consider yourself ‘informed’… well, I would describe your position as, not to be too offensive, Whistling in a Coal Mine.
The last couple of years that I was an Agent with the FBI in
San Francisco, I was assigned to the Organized Crime Squad. So, I hope that gives me some insights that
you might find helpful.
Organized Crime investigations start with a premise; if not
initially ‘probable cause’, at least a reasonable, documentable suspicion. The first source might be a public agency of
some kind. It might be an informant with
knowledge. It might even be a well-documented
news report or article.
Based on that information, there are considerable
preliminary investigations and interviews.
I won’t go into the details.
Did you know that the most difficult problem for those
involved in ‘organized crime,’ and includes all manner of organized crime
(illegal drugs, embezzlement, extortion, political corruption etc.) is what to
do with the proceeds, THE MONEY. For the
most part, in an organized crime structure, there is no problem acquiring the
money. It’s how do you then explain the
money, and subsequently convert that money to something you can use. Well, if you are a petty criminal, you can
just try dealing in cash… but that can be a concept short-lived and easily
detected. Big time criminals, on the
other hand, who deal in millions of dollars have phony businesses, numerous
bank accounts, and money laundering schemes both in the U.S. and overseas. Money laundering: This is their expertise and potentially their
weakness.
The law enforcement investigator’s principal objective is to
‘follow the money.’ The IRS employs
experts in following money through various banks and investment schemes to the
final recipients of the suspicious / ill-gotten / money. Does this in any way remind you of the Biden
family’s situation?
When Hunter Biden’s international and very lucrative
‘consulting’ became more suspect… inexplicable, and politically embarrassing… he
became more creative (so to speak). He
became a painter – of abstract art.
There was no developing his artistic reputation and the praise of art
critics. Not at all. Purchasers of his artistic endeavors seemed
to stumble over themselves to buy his paintings. How very curious. That said, Hunter was not prepared to say who
purchased the paintings or how much they paid.
Strange, don’t you think?
There are many laws that cover the ins and outs of money transferred
through our banking systems. Specialized
laws designed to ferret out illegal profits from organized crime and tax evaders. The experts to follow this money are
specially trained and experienced Agents of the Internal Revenue Service in
conjunction with the FBI.
Last comment: Does it
concern you that officials of the Federal Government stopped the IRS
investigators from continuing to follow the money in the Hunter Biden inquiry? Why would they? All the indicators of fraud and corruption
are there. What’s the answer? I could spell this out for you, but you
already know the answer. At least all of
you other than those who continue to ‘whistle in a coal mine.’
