Feds to recover $2.82 billion from five DC law firms that stole FBI election and spy data
Judge John D. Bates
Federal District of Columbia Judge John D. Bates has frozen $2.82 billion from the escrow accounts of five DC law firms.
His findings are in Friday’s release of his “Asset Recovery Report” in the non-criminal forfeiture case of:
26-CV-AF-017, United States versus Covington et al.
The five District of Columbia law firms and the total assets they stole are:
Covington & Burling LLP ($950M Frozen)
Hogan Lovells US LLP ($750M Frozen)
Jones Day ($330M Frozen)
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ($330M Frozen)
Williams & Connolly LLP (total $2.82B recovery)
These firms, called the DC 5, set up fraudulent client escrow accounts designed to:
circumvent banking anti-money laundering laws, and
extract FBI surveillance and election data without detection.
The DC 5 used stolen FBI data to:
steal elections
punish anyone opposing the policies of the Biden Administration
censor opposing viewpoints with lawfare
surveil without warrants non-Democrat politicians
The DC 5’s conspiracy extended to the United Kingdom, where prosecutors in the fraud unit identified a "London Bridge".
It is in Judge Bates’ evidence files, identified as CM-LOG-018.
It is a $1.5 million "smoking gun" receipt from a sixth DC law firm, WilmerHale, to its London partners.
The firm bought FBI election data, too.
Their London office’s instructions were to coordinate with Smartmatic (London) on how to steal the November midterm elections so that Democrats could regain a majority in Congress.
Besides London, the FBI granted access to the DC 5 to transmit data and money to and from:
Wuhan, China, home of Konnech PollChief election software
Serbia
Dubai
Cyprus
The DC Six had instant 24-hour access to the phones and digital devices of:
14 U.S. Senators
400 Trump supporters
So far, Judge Bates has opened 24 separate asset forfeiture cases.
Only one is closed.
Once the Justice Department sues contractors and NGOs (non-governmental organizations funded by Congress), the number of asset forfeiture cases will reach the thousands.
According to the State Department, there are 1.6 million NGOs in the U.S.
Another DC law firm, Perkins Coie, is about to be named as another defendant.
They also "purchased" foreign-processed intelligence and election data to "Lawfare" groups like:
Democracy Forward Foundation
The 65 Project.
Hopewell Fund
Facts First USA
Law Works
the Carter Center
Perkins Coie also uses the data to target "Election Strike Suits" for groups like Democracy Docket.
The FBI’s IT team routed this data through its hub, called the “Ghost House,” at 1100 Iron Bridge Rd. in McLean, VA.
FBI’s data center hub at 1100 Chain Bridge Rd., McLean, VA.
How easy was it for Judge Bates to follow the DC 5’s money trail?
Pretty easy.
All it took was for Joe Kent to resign and follow his money trail to the DC 5.
Kent resigned as Director of National Counterintelligence on March 17th.
Joe moved $2.82 billion that day into the DC 5’s fake escrow accounts.
Because Judge Bates has the evidence of Joe Kent’s transactions, his indictment on Friday has four charges.
They are:
wire fraud
money laundering
conspiracy
theft of government property
Bates began his investigation on Jan. 12th.
That is when he opened the non-criminal asset forfeiture matter of U.S. versus Covington et al, case no. 26-CV-AF-00942.
