“Under the radar”? No longer thanks to this great reporting. Shades of “Iran-Contra” but even more Byzantine and every bit as politically significant. Homework for Allison and Adam: Bill Barr’s full story has yet to be told.
Allison your last comment about how much of the 20 billion dollars purchased the weapons being used now by the Iranian government is chilling. None of these authoritarian regimes (Trump included) care about their fellow citizens. Thanks to the efforts of so many independent journalists like you and Adam, Trump 2.0 has been revealed as the transnational criminal organization that it is has always been. Thank you to you both 🙏
Does this episode tie into what Senator Whitehouse was exposing last week -- indications of trumpi kowtowing, tied into, Russian schemes, almost as if he were a trumputin, a mole, an operative, for Russia?
While listening to this fascinating recount and recap regarding Halkbank and money laundering, I realized just how little I actually know about how these criminal activities are operated. I felt naive.
Then I realized that I was not naive: instead, I have no aptitude for criminal behavior. Now I feel relieved that I'll never be part of a criminal conspiracy involving .... pretty much anything.
It's a good day again. ... well, relatively speaking.
This is the new most important story we didn't have space in our heads to remember. Thank you!

So much Trump corruption! Every day, all months, all years, all decades.

More reasons he should be in prison.

I learned so much about Turkey and our slippery interactions with it in this half hour. Thank you both.
Excellent reporting! Thank you for bringing this story to our attention 😊.
So very complicated. Thanks for breaking it down.

What do you think Trump personally got out of this scheme during the time it was going on?

Did Epstein have any link to Turkey?
