REMOVAL OF THE BEST LAWYERS AT THE DOJ'S NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION, AND PLACEMENT OF A POLITICAL APPOINTEE AS PERMANENT DIRECTOR WHO HAS DISTURBING BAGGAGE, MEANS THE US IS ABANDONING PROSECUTION OF THE CHINA THREAT IN THE CARIBBEAN

If you are watching the news from Washington this week, you know that all the senior leadership in the Department's National Security Division, as well as the experienced career prosecutors who are the heart and soul of the Division, have been terminated. The unit has essentially been gutted of its best legal talent, and it gets worse.

The Acting Director, Devin Debacker, who is a career prosecutor, and who has been serving since the beginning of the Trump Administration, has been abruptly terminated, and JOHN EISENBERG has been nominated to serve as Permanent Director, in what must be regarded as a purely political appointment in a career position. You may remember Eisenberg from his alleged role in the leak of classified information to DEVIN NUNES, and his reported transfer, to a classified server, of an incriminating telephone call between Trump and the leader of the Ukraine, and his alleged efforts to contain the dissemination of the details of that call, by instructing LTC Vindman, who was on that call, not to tell anyone about it.

We are advised that the ongoing Federal investigation into billion-dollar fraud, money laundering and corruption, in the Citizenship by Investment (CBI/CIP) programs of the East Caribbean states, which has serious issues involving the national security of the United States, especially its financial sector, will be transferred to the National Security Division. Given that we must presume that a number of the major American banks that have a known long and sordid history of facilitating the money laundering of Chinese-controlled companies, and would logically be co-defendants together with the Senior Caribbean officials who cooperated with the Chinese companies, all the government actions since since Trump took office would indicate that there will not be any targeting of American entities, especially financial institutions, it is extremely doubtful that we will see any indictments arising out of the CBI investigation, notwithstanding the incriminating evidence which has publicly surfaced.

The illegal sales of discounted economic citizenships & passports, which has reportedly continued unabated through programs in Saint Kitts & Nevis, Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Dominica, and possibly elsewhere, continue unrestricted, in some locations even on an expedited basis, without a gatekeeper. It now appears that the US Department of Justice cannot be bothered to tackle it, and will ignore what is an increasingly more disturbing national security threat and clear and present danger, due to what can only be considered partisan politics. Hereafter, any banker that accepts a Caribbean CBI passport as proof of identity might want to check into whether he has adequate insurance coverage.
