Puerto Rico governor wants Whitefish contract cancelled immediately

Puerto Rico's governor is calling for a controversial contract with Whitefish Energy Holdings to be terminated immediately.

Gov. Ricardo Rossello’s official Twitter account on Sunday retweeted a statement in which he asks the Governing Board of the Electronic Security Association to cancel the contract, which came under scrutiny last week.

“There cannot be any distraction that alters the commitment of raising electric system as soon as possible,” Rossello said in the statement.

The $300 million contract between Puerto Rico’s power utility and the Montana-based energy firm has been criticized in recent days.

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who is from the same hometown as Whitefish Energy, said he had “absolutely nothing” to do with the company receiving the contract.

NEW DETAILS: Sgt. La David Johnson died going BACK into the kill zone to save comrades

REVEALED - Full story of deadly Niger ambush: Hero Green Beret Sgt. La David Johnson died going BACK into the kill zone to save comrades... as survivors fought for their lives for TWO HOURS until French fighter jets reached them


Sgt. La David Johnson was in an armed pick-up truck when the ambush started
His vehicle was in front of the Land Cruiser carrying Sgt. Bryan C. Black, Staff Sgt. Jeremiah W. Johnson, Sgt. La David Johnson and Staff Sgt. Dustin M. Wright
Johnson and his vehicle escaped the fire of 50 ISIS militants but then went back
They were trying to save the other four US men when they were all struck
Sgt. La.'s body was eventually given back to Nigerien troops by a village elder
That same village elder is suspected of stalling the troops before the ambush
The October 3 attack in Tongo Tongo, Niger, has been shrouded in secrecy
Sgt. Johnson's widow revealed this week that she still did not know how he died
The new details were revealed on Friday by an unnamed US official
Questions remain over why the lightly armed unit of just 42 soldiers was sent on a dangerous mission to capture an ISIS target with so few men and weapons
The official revealed the men were meant to have back-up but it could not go with them at the last minute
Instead of being called back to base, they were told to proceed with the mission

More bad news for Paul Manafort on the money laundering front.

FBI Probe Of Paul Manafort Focuses On 13 “Suspicious” Wire Transfers
BuzzFeed News has learned of a series of wire transfers, made by companies linked to Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, that federal officials deemed suspicious. Many of the wires went from offshore companies controlled by Manafort to American businesses.



...........

These transactions — which have not been previously reported — drew the attention of federal law enforcement officials as far back as 2012, when they began to examine wire transfers to determine if Manafort hid money from tax authorities or helped the Ukrainian regime close to Russian President Vladimir Putin launder some of the millions it plundered through corrupt dealings.

The new revelations come as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is tightening, with reports that an indictment may already have been issued. It is not known if Manafort has been indicted, or if he ever will be. Manafort has been the subject of multiple law enforcement and congressional inquiries. A spokesperson for Manafort would not comment for this story about the investigation or any of the specific transactions, but Manafort has previously denied wrongdoing.

..............

Now, BuzzFeed News has learned that investigators have been scrutinizing at least 13 wire transfers between 2012 and 2013. The transfers were first flagged by American financial institutions, which are required by law to tell an office within the Treasury Department about any transactions they deem suspicious. Such “suspicious activity reports” do not prove wrongdoing. Federal law requires financial institutions to file suspicious activity reports on cash transactions that exceed $10,000 in a single day, even if those transactions seem otherwise legitimate. Banks are also required to file the reports whenever they suspect money laundering or other financial crimes.

............

BuzzFeed News has learned specific details about 13 of the wire transfers, all of which took place between 2012 and 2013. At least four of the transfers originated with Manafort’s company Global Endeavour, a political consulting firm based in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Global Endeavour was hired by Yanukovych to consult and lobby on his behalf. Ousted after the 2014 Orange Revolution, Yanukovych lives in exile in Russia and is accused of treason by Ukrainian authorities; the country’s general prosecutor said Yanukovych’s embezzlement of state funds was so egregious it resembled a “mafia structure.”

.............

Wire transfers flagged as suspicious show that during the waning months of Yanukovych’s presidency, Global Endeavour sent more than $750,000 out of Ukraine. None of these transactions have been previously reported.
