1. HSBC is a national security threat to America.
2. In this thread, I will build on the work of @realKyleOlbert, @JRNyquist and the late Joseph Douglass who wrote #RedCocaine
3. HSBC is notorious for their corruption.
I want to present 3 different data points sampling their corruption, then we'll compare and contrast, and draw a conclusion.
4. a. Between 2000-2003, as found by Senate Committee, #HSBC moved about $500,000 in dirty Gabon dictator money, then noticed on its own it was a problem, and closed the account.

5. b. In 2002, #HSBC kind of sort of laundered $50 million in dirty money from Angola, but stopped the process, and returned the money to its origins.
6. c. In the later part of the decade, #HSBC moves $670 billion in highly risky Mexican money and willfully doesn't scrutinize it. This includes billions of drug cartel + #Sinaloa money.

7. Something changed. The corruption decades ago was not too bad. Then it became orders of magnitude worse.
It coincided with Obama years. But it can't be America's fault. HSBC is British.
Plus it was our DoJ that sued HSBC to stop them cause Britain+Mexico wouldn't.
8. What did coincide with #HSBC going down this dark path was Russian money. Over $80 billion laundered through European banks and in particular HSBC's.
I don't think HSBC has even been penalized for this, nor has anyone gone to jail.

9. We are not talking about your friendly corrupt drunk money who wants to buy a BMW.
This is Putin, oligarch, FSB/KGB money.
They don't want the money in Russia. They WANT it in the West.

10. Decades ago, in this excellent book, Douglass explained that Moscow was exporting drugs to the West to undermine us, and infiltrating our banks to corrupt us and launder money...
He told us exactly what was happening before I was even born. Now it's happening.
11. Drugs coming into America, with active support from the world's biggest banks, that's a risk to millions of American lives.
Drug epidemic is at historic high now. Coincidence?
It's so bad Trump was fact checked and they said he was right. Wow.
12. But it's even worse than that.
HSBC makes $20 billion profit a year. Russia moved $80 billion to the West. This is huge money we're talking about. These are nasty people who don't like us. They don't see the world like we do.
Look at what else they did...
13. Right after #HSBC is revealed as a nemesis to the world by purposefully laundering #Sinaloa #DrugCartel money, and while Russia is moving mammoth sums of money through their bank
They bring in a very powerful American politician
14. So we have
Russian money to HSBC
Comey to HSBC
Comey to FBI Director
Comey uses Steele Dossier which is sourced to Moscow Kremlin
Comey tries to take out @realDonaldTrump
15. Democrats are right. There is Russian collusion going on. But they are confused about the specifics.
Russia influenced a massive left wing attempt to take down @realDonaldTrump
#NatSec #NationalSecurity
16. And here we go.
HSBC gets in bed with Russia.
Then that HSBC money flows to #ClintonFoundation.
What did the Clintons do with that $80 million? How many Americans did they confuse? How many people did they compromise? How much more don't we know about?
17. Watch for links between Russia and the left. Once you start looking you'll never be able to stop seeing them.
18. HSBC's decision to jump into the deep end with the world's worst actors has made them an enemy of the American people.
Helping Sinaloa, and transferring Russian money to the Clintons, and facilitating corruption of our FBI Director...
That's not okay
