Anyone remember how Adelson wanted US law changed to legalize bribery in foreign countries? His main concern was he needed to be able to bribe whoever he needed to bribe for his casino in China. I keep tracking back to that story whenever I hear the reporting on theChinese spy at Trumps House.
I dont think Adelsons relationship with Trump was all about Israel like they want media to think. I think its about the flow of money around/at Adelson's casinos in China and Macau.
Memory lane - not much focus from US press, though.

(13,526 posts)2 fbi raids on casino in Saipan - Trump protege Mark Brown ran the place until late 17 - James Woolsey, Haley Barbour, Louis Freeh and Ed Rendell connected to it.
March 2017:
Imperial Pacific has attracted broad attention in the gaming industry for the volumes being recorded at its Saipan casino, which are far larger on a per-table basis than those at the grandest resorts in Macau.

Ive been dyyyying to know if these two raids had anything to do with anything!!?! - but at any rate, the Saipan casino appears to be in competition with Adelson, as opposed to being part of his scumbag mobbed up empire -

And what Trump wants here, no doubt.
I think that Trump was ok with that Chinese spy there, and that is why Secret Service Chief was fired.

Do not remember the name of the City,but the Young man said this was all the buzz. He happens to teach English to the Wealthy Chinese families preschoolers in that City.

(32,739 posts)Adelson took the bribe money from the Chinese and handed it over to Chump in the form of "legal" campaign donations. Whether Chump understood that the $$ was really coming from China would be an interesting thing to investigate. If only we had a special investigator to look into this.
