Mairdie - here’s the link to the 36-page report referenced in your article.
From upthread a little ways - need help on digging, FReeQs.

No rulings published (yet) today in the NXIVM case. I think there are 8 or 9 that the judge still needs to address. His most recent ruling was to deny Kathy Russell's motion to dismiss.
Sound kind of boring?
Keep reading. This gets juicy at the end.
Prosecutors made a filing with the judge asking him to admit into evidence a list of uncharged-crimes. These are crimes that the Prosecutors will use to show the jury the types of criminal activities NXIVM and DOS were doing that support the racketeering charges. The 44-page pdf is called Document 414 and is here. Document 414. I like that. Sounds ominous.
Document 414 is an interesting read. In pre-trial motions, the defendants argued that there was no evidence to support a 'criminal enterprise'. With this document, the prosecution argues that, because of the defendants' pre-trial arguments, they must be allowed to present evidence of a whole bunch of crimes that prove just that. That's some legal kung-fu Bagster would be proud of.
Lots of mentions of cooperating witnesses. That's encouraging. It looks like there will be a parade of John and Jane Does who were wronged by the cult.
Now for the best part. Among the raft of uncharged crimes is illegally bundling campaign donations. NXIVM was trying to buy the influence of a presidential candidate through dirty money. Who? hillary! No not that election. The first one she lost to hussein. NXIVM did this at the suggestion of a NY pol who has already pled guilty to other kickback and bundling schemes. (Steve Pigeon?)
You can savor the flavor here.
Naturally, no indication that candidate hillary knew the money was illegal. Only about $60k that is known, so the beast probably wouldn't have blinked at that small bling.
As I've been predicting, this case will creep closer and closer to dem politicians!
