This trial would have drawn major coverage if it would have been about Trump instead of the election of Obama and Biden in 2012

The media say they have always been concerned about big money in elections.

They also say they are very concerned about foreign money in elections, and honest elections, so here is a trial should draw great interest. It also involves a billionaire and stolen money.

It has a major movie star, Leonardo DiCaprio, who is testifying about corruption.

Yet so far it hasn't.

It is too bad that DiCaprio wasn't testifying about green energy. Then it would get major coverage. Or if Gwyneth Paltrow had a ski accident, or if Johnny Depp was getting sued, then it would have had massive coverage.

If there was a fake dossier to destroy Donald Trump, paid for by the DNC, and Hillary alleging Russian collusion, the media would have covered this story for years despite no evidence.

The only problem with this story is that it involved millions of illegal foreign donations being laundered to support their chosen one, Barack Obama in 2012. 

Movie star Leonardo DiCaprio testified in federal court Monday morning as part of a trial involving international money laundering, bribery and a prominent rap artist.

Prakazrel “Pras” Michel — a founding member of the iconic 1990s hip-hop group, The Fugees — is accused of funneling money from a fugitive Malaysian financer through straw donors to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Five years later, prosecutors say he tried to squelch an investigation into that same financer under former President Donald Trump’s administration.

At the heart of the case is Low Taek Jho, usually known as Jho Low. He is accused of masterminding an international money laundering and bribery scheme that stole billions from the Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB.

According to the charges, Michel essentially became a conduit for Low’s pilfered millions and his attempts to influence the U.S. government. Prosecutors allege that from June to November 2012, Low directed more than $21.6 million to be moved from foreign entities to Michel’s accounts in order to funnel money into the 2012 presidential election. They say Michel then paid about 20 straw donors and conduits so they could make the donations in their names and conceal where the money actually came from, according to the indictment.

of course, The crooked mainstream media had as much interest in illegal contributions in the above story as they did in the crypto crook donating millions in illegal contributions with stolen money, mostly to Democrats.

“At the heart of the case is Low Taek Jho, usually known as Jho Low. He is accused of masterminding an international money laundering and bribery scheme that stole billions from the Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB.”

I believe he created 1MDB for the purpose of stealing billions. I also thought that a lot of Dems and Dem causes got caught up in the theft. This is kind of bizarre news.
