US attorney Berman fired after investigating Trump cronies

[Firestarter]

Are you not paying attention? In this context I agree with Giuliani, because it is the FBI that has been the center of this very corruption and obstruction-- James Comey, Christopher Wray, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page--etc...

See you're saying that when Berman doesn't file charges after unfounded allegations - he's as corrupt as Donald's crime gang?

But when Rudy Giuliani, on the orders of president Donald, makes sure that no official investigation is started by the FBI... he's a wonderful patriot!

Unfounded? Biden admits it on video for goodness sakes! And you know Giuliani was ordered by President Donald Trump to investigate the issue? If so, so what? Hunter Biden is a total screw up, he got thrown out of the Navy for using drugs. He had absolutely no knowledge of the oil industry yet he was making $83,000 a month on the Board of Burisma Holdings.

Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear know exactly the bribery Biden pulled--HE SAID IT ON VIDEO!! Yet these same people are projecting this onto President Trump.

I’m no lawyer, but I really doubt that a “simple” US attorney is authorised to prosecute the misdeeds of Joe Biden in his official capacity as Vice President.

Trump supporter Bud Cummins, who contacted Geoffrey Berman and Rudy Giuliani about the allegations against Manafort and Biden in the Ukraine, has lobbied for the Ukraine.
He admitted that he didn’t know if there was any merit to the accusations by Yuriy Lutsenko and Viktor Shokin.

President Donald knew/knows about these allegations and has all the authority to have this properly investigates, so either:
1) Trump is covering up for “creepy” Joe Biden, or;
2) These allegations are unfounded.


Are Trump fans even more retarded than Democrats?

From 2012 to 2014, the Mercury LLC (of Manafort and his employee Rick Gates) hired the Podesta Group to lobby for the Ukraine...
Was Podesta still working for Manafort and Gates in 2016?!?

On 30 April 2020, Geoffrey Berman announced a deferred prosecution agreement against Israel's largest bank Bank Hapoalim, for helping to hide assets in offshore accounts and helping to bribe FIFA officials (the body that controls international soccer).

I found absolutely no information on the American criminals that used Bank Hapoalim to evade taxes!

Here’s some more information on the bribes to FIFA officials by the Argentine company Full Play Group that won marketing rights for the 2015, 2016, 2019 and 2023 Copa Americas (South America’s soccer championship).
Full Play is controlled by Hugo Jinkis and his son Mariano, who were first indicted in 2015.

From 2010-14, Full Play made at least 53 bribe payments totalling more than $14 million to Louis Bedoya, Jose Luis Chiriboga, Esquivel and Figueredo: https://www.timesofisrael.com/bank-h...s-tax-evasion/

Barr: DOJ does not continually uphold president’s interest

June 26, 2020 04:03:45 pm
Cassandra Maas




US Attorney General William Barr denied in an interview on Thursday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) continuously upholds the interests of President Donald Trump.

In response to a question about whether the president had power to use his authority in cases where he has an interest, Barr stated that those were cases in which he was acting, not the president. This included the dismissal of the case against Michael Flynn, the removal of Geoffrey Berman in New York and the Roger Stone case.

While the president ultimately has authority as chief executive to “see that the laws are faithfully executed against the attorney general who performs that function under the law,” all cases in the DOJ are subject to the attorney general’s supervision. The president does not have the power or authority to determine how reports, such as the Durham investigation, will come out.

Barr did note that, in certain circumstances, presidential action regarding law enforcement cases could amount to an abuse of presidential power.
However, Barr asserted that there was no pattern of the DOJ continually upholding the personal interests of the president. He stated that idea was a “media narrative that has been adhered to, where things that happen all the time in the Department of Justice are misrepresented to the public and cast as somehow suspicious.”

That may be how things were intended in the Constitution but it is not how things are, there has been a long running campaign to strip the President of his power over the executive branch and create an independent deepstate.

And The US Attorney would have plenty of power to prosecute federal crimes.

The first police department in the United States was formed in Boston in 1838. Nearly 50 years after the US Constitution was ratified. Who were the first police officers hired? Ex cons. 20th-21st century Criminology 101 courses weren't being taught at universities or colleges at the time. The city needed a solution to a problem, and former criminals had the inside knowledge to develop solutions that worked.

Nothing new really!

William Barr is a particularly sordid case. As George H.W. Bush’s most notorious insider, and as AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr stonewalled several investigations into CIA abuses; including BCCI and BNL CIA drug money laundering.

When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA’s “legal office” and worked alongside CIA criminals like Theodore “Ted” Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, and Thomas Clines, who were involved in the Phoenix Program and Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr was an important player in the Iran-Contra operation, simultaneously managing the operation while also “fixing” the legal end…

Whistleblower Rodney Stich, in his books “Drugging America: A Trojan Horse” and “Defrauding America: Dirty Secrets of the CIA and other Government Operations”, exposed how these operatives participated in many criminal operations during the Bush and Clinton presidencies. William Barr used the name “Robert Johnson”.

I’m not insinuating in any way that there is a connection between Bill Barr and Joe Biden...
See the day, 12 November 1991, Barr was nominated as Attorney General in the Bush Sr. administration, from left: Sen. Strom Thurmond, Sen. Joe Biden, William Barr and Sen. Patrick Leahyl.

Casting pearls before swine. Yep.

This looks more like blood diamonds for Zionist pigs...


In 2010, Israeli authorities “investigated” a money-laundering case of Bank Hapoalim that involved the Katsyv family. Millions of dollars were transferred through Katsyv-controlled accounts at the bank. According to Israeli prosecutors, Hapoalim bank managers concealed the real beneficiaries of these accounts in violation of anti-money-laundering rules.
The bank blamed Katsyv’s business for these violations, so the bank managers were found not guilty.

Prevezon Holdings Ltd was registered in 2005 and is owned by Denis Katsyv and Martash Investment Holdings Ltd from the British Virgin Islands that is also owned by Denis Katsyv.

On 5 February 2008, Bunicon received $9.4 million from the correspondent account of the Krainiy Sever bank. The next day Bunicon sent $410,000 to Prevezon’s account at the Swiss bank UBS AG.
On 13 February 2008, Elenast received $800,000 from the same account and then transferred more than half that amount to Prevezon.

Katsyv is also in business with Russian oligarch Lev Leviev: https://www.reportingproject.net/pro...agnitsky-money
(http://archive.is/44HQS)


For the inevitable Trump links...
Rotem Rosen was the "right hand man" of diamond magnate Chabad-Lubavitcher Lev Leviev.
In December 2007, Zina Sapir, daughter of (the late) Tamir, married Rotem Rosen, in a wedding hosted by Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago.
The Sapir Organization (that was founded by Tamir Sapir) partnered with Bayrock and the Trump Organization in the Trump SoHo project.

Lev Leviev also bought Israeli media companies together with Donald Trump’s close friend Ronald Lauder.

And links to Donald’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.

In 2015, Kushner’s company purchased the former New York Times Building in Times Square from an entity called Africa-Israel Investments, headed by Russian oligarch Lev Leviev.
Leviev was a business partner of the Russian Prevezon Holdings that was accused of money laundering by the DoJ. Prevezon was represented by Natalia Veselnitskaya and got off with a “slap on the wrist” of $6 million.
Leviev told the New York Times that he was a “true friend” of Vladimir Putin, largely through his work with the Moscow Jewish Museum, the Russian Jewish Congress and his close ties to Russia’s Chief Chabad Rabbi, Berel Lazar.

The following story is quite good... see some excerpts (including Hapoalim, Leviev, Denis Katsyv and Preet Bharara).

Trump fired Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey primarily because Comey asked for additional resources from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to beef up the FBI's "follow-the-money" investigation of the Trump campaign. The FBI's receipt of data from the Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) regarding the money laundering involving Trump and Kushner businesses, accounts maintained by the Bank of Cyprus, HSBC, Bank Hapoalim of Israel, and other banks, and the Trump presidential campaign are what lie at the heart of the FBI's investigation of Trump. The FBI is reportedly focused on Trump's associates' financial dealings with banks in Cyprus.
(...)

Bayrock was linked as a partner to another business syndicate, the Sapir Organization, headed by Donald and Ivanka Trump's and Jared Kushner's good friends Rotem Rosen and Israeli citizen Alex Sapir. The Sapir Organization is involved in major hotel projects in New York and around the world, including the Trump Tower in Toronto. Others involved with the Toronto Trump Tower include Uzbek-Israeli diamond tycoon Lev Leviev, accused of trafficking in African "blood diamonds" and Canadian-Russian-Israeli businessman Alexander Shnaider, owner of Talon International Development Inc, and co-owner of Midland Resources Holding Inc. with his partner Ukrainian-Russian billionaire , who is also vice-president of the World Jewish Congress.
(...)

According to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, none other than Preet Bharara, who Trump fired, the Trincher criminal syndicate, known as the "Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization, ran a major illegal sports betting operation in the United States. Bharara's indictment specified the "Taiwanchik-Trincher Organization (the "Organization") was a criminal enterprise with strong ties to Russia and Ukraine. The enterprise operated a high-stakes, illegal sports gambling business out of New York City that catered primarily to Russian oligarchs living in Ukraine and Russia." In other words, the same tower that Donald Trump called home was the center of a major illegal sports betting operation. Given Trump's own ties to gambling casinos and professional sports, there is little wonder why Trump viewed Bharara and Comey as threats.

A Kushner project to redevelop Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood involves the family of Israel's diamond magnate billionaire family. The Kushner deal involves Raz Steinmetz, whose uncle is Beny Steinmetz, the owner Steinmetz Diamond Group and BSG Resources, the latter under an FBI investigation for violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act for bribes paid to officials of the West African Republic of Guinea for mining concessions in that nation. Steinmetz companies also conduct business through a British Virgin Islands shell company called "Rebar LLC."

Ras Steinmetz's brother, Daniel Steinmetz, was involved in business with Jared Kushner through Gaia Investments Corporation of Tel Aviv through an affiliate Gaia JC LLC. After Jared Kushner became a chief adviser to Trump, said to be one of only a few in a Trump "inner circle" that also includes daughter Ivanka Trump, communications specialist Hope Hicks, and Trump "body man" Keith Schiller, the Steinmetz-Kushner firm changed its name to "65 Bay LLC."
(...)

In a case that was vigorously pursued by fired U.S. Attorney Bharara in Manhattan, the U.S. Justice Department, now under Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy Rod Rosenstein, has agreed to a settlement with Moscow businessman Denis Katsyv and his hedge fund firm Prevezon Holdings, Ltd. just three days before scheduled jury selection for the trial. Prevezon and its eleven related companies had been charged with money laundering for a criminal network extending from Russia to Moldova and Latvia to New York and Israel. What was at the heart of the money laundering case? You guessed it. the Red Kosher Nostra. Katsyv's partners included his Russian partner Timofey Krit and Israeli businessman Alexander Litvak.

A “dubious relationship” between Gaia and Bank Hapoalim, which is also one of Kushner Cos. lenders, has been reported.
Gaia Investment lists Shlomo Meichor and Assi Arev as principals. Meichor was previously chief financial officer of Ampal-American Israel Corp. In 1996, Raz Steinmetz and his father Daniel (Beny’s brother) bought a controlling interest in Ampal-American Israel Corp. from Bank Hapoalim.

Kushner Companies buying real estate in New York for $190 million was made possible because of investments from Israel’s Raz Steinmetz, whose uncle is none other than diamond billionaire Beny Steinmetz.
Since at least 2012, Kushner Cos. and Raz Steinmetz’s investment firm Gaia have been in business including in a number of joint ventures.

In the 1990s, Beny and Daniel formed Steinmetz Diamond Group (now Diacor International Ltd.), which is one of about 80 companies that can buy diamonds from De Beers SA.

Beny Steinmetz, who was represented by none other than Trump supporter and Jeffrey Epstein friend Alan M. Dershowitz, has been accused of bribing Guinea (in Africa) government officials with tens of millions of dollars, for his Beny Steinmetz Group Resources (BSGR), to secure iron-ore mining rights.
Beny Steinmetz started a “frivolous and false” lawsuit against none other than George Soros for orchestrating being prosecuted in the US: http://archive.is/O0ldi


Beny Steinmetz is of course also a close business partner of Dan Gertler, who is plundering the Congo from its natural resources: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...=1#post6895660

For years now Nicolas Maduro’s popularity in socialist Venezuela has been boosted by “conspiracy stories” claiming that the US government is trying to get rid of him.
Ironically Venezuela remains one of the biggest oil exporters in the whole world.
If “they” really want to get rid of him, I would expect many, many stories (not necessarily true) to detail the corruption of the Maduro administration.

The story on Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA’s connections to long-time Rothschild banker and Trump’s Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross for some reason doesn’t get much media attention: https://www.lawfulpath.com/forum/vie...7&t=1627#p6178


Almost 3 months before Geoffrey Berman was forced to step down as U.S. attorney by Bill Barr...
On 26 March 2020, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman, standing alongside Attorney General William Barr, announced narco-terrorism and cocaine trafficking charges against the president of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro:

Maduro and the other defendants expressly intended to flood the United States with cocaine in order to undermine the health and well-being of our nation. Maduro very deliberatively used cocaine as a weapon.

Prosecutors allege that Maduro and other Venezuelan officials, including Defence Minister Vladimir Padrino and Chief Supreme Court Justice Maikel Moreno, "participated in a corrupt and violent narco-terrorism conspiracy" as leaders of the Venezuelan "Cartel of The Suns".
Bizarrely they now suddenly accuse Maduro and his top aides of running a "narco-terrorism partnership with the FARC for the past 20 years". They supposedly also worked with Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces group, FARC, called “a terrorist organization” by the U.S.
According to Bill Barr, FARC had "obtained the support of the Maduro regime, who is allowing them to use Venezuela as a safe haven from which they can continue to conduct their cocaine trafficking".

The US charged more than a dozen top Venezuelan officials.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the State Department would offer cash rewards of $15 million for information on Maduro, and up to $10 million for information on of some of his allies: former military intelligence chief Hugo Cavajal, retired general Cliver Alcala, former vice president Tareck El Aissami and head of the Constituent Assembly Diosdado Cabello.

Sitting leaders of “independent” states are legally immune from prosecution under US law and international norms. But since in January 2019 the US recognised the much ridiculed Juan Guaido as the legitimate president of Venezuela (followed by another 60 countries), they can simply brush that aside.
Even if Maduro is found guilty I don’t expect a full-blown invasion, like that of Panama in December 1989 and January 1990, after CIA agent Manuel Noriega threatened to blow the whistle on the dope dealing US president George Bush Sr.: https://abcnews.go.com/International...ry?id=69810913


Without “evidence”, and I’m afraid that I don’t see anything to substantiate these allegations, this could make Maduro even more popular in Venezuela (if he was really popular they wouldn’t need to support him with this “adverse publicity”)...
Even the following story is overlooked by most of our wonderful media, and if the opposition to Maduro was real, I would expect that this would be made into another media hysteria...


The best story I found on the “corruption” of the Maduro administration is that on 10 November 2015, 2 nephews of Maduro's wife Cilia Flores, Efraín Antonio Campos Flores and Francisco Flores de Freites, were arrested by the US Drug Enforcement Administration in Port-au-Prince, Haiti after trying to transport 800 kilograms of cocaine into the USA.
They had been flown to Port-au-Prince by 2 Venezuelan military personnel and 2 presidential honour guards.

One informant claimed that the 2 nephews of Cilia Maduro would often fly out of Terminal 4 of Simon Bolivar Airport, a terminal reserved for President Maduro.
The profits were allegedly used to "help their family stay in power".

On 18 November 2016, the Flores nephews were found guilty.
On 14 December 2017, they were sentenced to 18 years in prison: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcosobrinos_affair


The drug trafficking operation was probably much larger, but 2 informants that witnessed the drug trafficking nephews were murdered shortly before and after the arrest.
According to drug “expert” Bruce Bagley:

The nephews are just the tip of the iceberg ... Corruption is rampant in power circles in Venezuela. This case suggests a culture that drug trafficking is routine and daily fare for someone with contacts in the presidential palace. With their connections, they felt they would skate through ... They made a mistake because when the DEA heard their names they targeted them.

Two weeks before the nephews were arrested in November 2015, the Venezuelan "Hamudi", who introduced the nephews to “CW-1”, was murdered by FARC suppliers.
Several weeks after they were arrested, “CW-1” was also killed: https://www.insightcrime.org/news/br...-nephews-case/

Jeffrey Epstein was trying to defend himself, before he died of a reported suicide, with the argument that the same people that gave him the plea deal are still running the federal government, and shouldn’t be allowed to charge him again for the same crimes

In 2008 no other than Alexander Acosta as US Attorney made the sweet deal with Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta had to resign as Donald’s Labor Secretary, almost a year ago, shortly after Epstein was arrested.
Acosta had previously worked at Kirkland & Ellis (after being a court clerk in 1994-1995).

Jeffrey Epstein's attorney Martin Weinberg told Manhattan's federal court that among those who approved Epstein's 2008 plea deal were Sigal Mandeleker, John Roth, Alice Fisher, Mark Filip and Jeffrey Sloman.
Mandelker, who at the time was Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, was involved in discussions on the plea deal.
Sigal Mandeleker serves as Donald’s Under Secretary for the Department of the Treasury.

John Roth is the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security since 2014.
In 2008, Roth was chief of staff to the Deputy Attorney General.

In 2008, Mark Filip was Deputy Attorney General, now a partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis.

Alice Fisher was assistant US Attorney General at the time, and now a partner of the Latham & Watkins LLP law firm.
Donald Trump interviewed Fisher for the position of FBI director after James Comey was fired.

Weinberg also mentioned Acosta's top deputy, Jeffrey Sloman: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...case-over.html


In 2009, on one of those strange coincidences, now Attorney-General William Barr joined the law firm Kirkland & Ellis, the same law firm that represented Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 and fixed the “sweetheart deal” with Miami US attorney at the time Alexander Acosta (Donald’s former Secretary of Labor).
Kirkland & Ellis continued to represent Epstein until 2011, when Barr worked at the firm.

The indictment of Ghislaine Maxwell (literally on the first working day that Berman didn’t go to work) only covers the period from 1994 to 1997.
Prince Andrew sexually abused the 17-year-old Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) in 2001. So because the indictment doesn’t cover that period Randy Andy is off the hook.
Queen Elizabeth says “thank you Donald for saving my favourite son".

According to @Swordsmyth it’s “absurd” to post about the links of both Donald Trump and his long-time friend Jeffrey Epstein to the Bear Stearns bank.

Just pointing out the kind of absurd guilt by association you like so much.

Interestingly, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) oversees prosecutions of Wall Street banks and the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank of New York (both located in that district).
After Geoffrey Berman was ousted as US attorney, President Donald nominated Jay Clayton for SDNY US Attorney, who was previously installed by Donald to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Clayton, who Donald likes to “oversee” (not) prosecution of the major banks, has previously represented 8 of the 10 largest Wall Street banks when he was an attorney, partner at the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm...
Jay Clayton has worked for UBS and the Deutsche Bank that was recently fined $150 million (after charges brought by Berman’s office) over amongst others its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He also represented the film studio of Harvey Weinstein.

Clayton represented Goldman Sachs in perhaps its most important deal, the $5 billion investment by Warren E. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway during the 2008 financial crisis. His wife, Gretchen, has worked at Goldman Sachs...
In the last year, Jay Clayton earned some $7.6 million from Sullivan & Cromwell. He has investments in Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital (founded by Mitt Romney), J.C. Flowers and Perry Partners.

Jay Clayton has also represented TeliaSonera that has business ties to Russia and Iran.
The deals Clayton was involved in, included its stake in Russian mobile phone operator MegaFon, with the Russian Altimo that has long been controlled by the notorious Russian billionaire, Chabad-Lubavitcher Mikhail Fridman, who is best known for controlling the Alfa Group (including the Alfa Bank that communicated with the Trump Organization and the Spectrum Health of the DeVos family during the 2016 election campaign): http://archive.is/VVahu


Clayton is by no means the only lawyer Trump has nominated, appointed with ties to the Alfa Group...
See Rudy Giuliani with the heads of Alfa Bank; Mikhail Fridman (left) and Pyotr Aven in Moscow at Alfa’s “Award for Excellence in Foreign Investment in Russia”.


Jay Clayton has also arranged Initial Public Offerings for a number of companies, including the $1.2 billion Och-Ziff Capital Management IPO (of Dan Gertler, the Chabad-Lubavitcher plundering the Congo).

During the financial crisis of 2007–2008, Clayton advised Bear Stearns in its fire sale to JPMorgan Chase in 2007: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Clayton_(attorney)

Alan "Ace" Greenberg as Chairman of Bear Stearns hired Jeffrey Epstein, after he was fired (?) as teacher at the Dalton School (where he had been hired by AG Bill Barr's father Donald Barr ).
The business relationship between Epstein and Bear Stearns continued for many years.

Greenberg also bank-rolled the Donald Trump myth with hundreds of millions for years.
Here´s a $352 million mortgage-backed bond to finance Donald´s first casino.


In 1986, Bear Stearns arranged a cool $250 million bond sale to buy the Plaza.


Trump even had 2 anonymous, numbered accounts at Bear Stearns to hide his identity.



Donald’t Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is a member of Skull & Bones and former Goldman Sachs partner who once ran Dune Capital, a fund financed by George Soros. Steve Mnuchin has also worked for Soros Fund Management LLC and the Soros funded SFM Capital Management.

Steven’s brother, Alan Mnuchin, is a former banker at Bear Stearns (where Epstein started his amazing ascend and financed Donald Trump for years) and Lehman Bros. Alan Mnuchin’s advisory firm, AGM Partners, in one of those strange coincidences, has represented Edgar Bronfman Jr..

Steven’s father, Robert “Bob” Mnuchin, was also a partner at Goldman Sachs (where he worked for 30 years).
Bob Mnuchin and his second wife, Adriana, are neighbours of none other than the friend of Roy Cohn, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein - Barbara Walters: https://gawker.com/550099/bob-mnuchin

Let’s see if I understand...

When US attorney Geoffrey Berman was fired (formally forced to step down) by Donald’s Attorney General Bill Barr, Trumptards where cheering that he was fired because 1) he didn’t investigate Joe Biden and 2) refused to continue the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.


Then President Donald nominated Jay Clayton, a corrupt laywer who looks like selected by Wall Street banks to head the SEC. Clayton has earlier represented the Trump and Epstein affiliated Deutsche Bank and Bear Stearns.

In the last year, Jay Clayton earned some $7.6 million from Sullivan & Cromwell. He has investments in Apollo Global Management, Bain Capital (founded by Mitt Romney), J.C. Flowers and Perry Partners.

That’s the Apollo Global Management of which none other than Leon Black is chairman.

Leon’s father was Eli M. Black (1921–1975), who’s best known for owning the United Brands Company and who died in another reported “suicide”. According to the DEA, in 1978 United Brands smuggled 20% of the illicit drugs into the USA.
From 1977 to 1990, before co-founding Apollo, Black was employed by investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert (that collapsed in a scandal involving junk bond king Michael Milken).


I guess it’s just another one of those strange “coincidences”...

The MIT lab received at least $7.5 million through Epstein, including $2 million from Gates and $5.5 million from Leon Black.

Trump is investigating and arresting the people the scum that had protection before he was elected, your attempts to smear him by association don't change that.
