What good is the money laundering legislation when this Regime is involved in money laundering. Look ad the “green energy” scams. Hucksters start a “green energy” business, sucker some investors, spew the right political phrases, get a government grant from the Regime, build a Potemkin Village factory, get another government grant from the Regime (the money being from OUR TAX DOLLARS), make a big contribution to the Party, then fold. The Gambino’s never had it so good.

This is one of the reasons that the government worked so hard to eliminate the Mafia over the last 50 years; they wanted to knock out the competition.

Here's a crazy idea. What if legislation included accountability for itself. e.g. - "In five years, money laundering (as objectively measured by these metrics...) will be reduced by 25 percent or this law shall be void."

At least when the drug cartels launder money, that money eventually filters back into the economy. When the government does it, they just take dollars the productive have paid in taxes and use it to buy votes, against the interests of the productive people from whom they stole the money.
