Prince Harry, Meghan Markle welcomed to Nigeria by fugitive wanted in US for $20M money laundering scam
[NY Post] Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reportedly welcomed to Lagos, Nigeria by a fugitive wanted in the United States for money laundering and bank fraud.
Grifters gotta grift
Dr. Allen Onyema, 59, was among a small group of officials who greeted the Duke and Duchess of Sussex when they touched down in the city last Sunday, according to the Daily Mail.

Onyema is the founder and CEO of Air Peace, a Nigerian carrier that Meghan and Harry used on their 3-day tour of the country.

The charismatic businessman is well-known in Nigeria, but is the subject of a US federal indictment filed back in November 2019.

At the time, the US Department of Justice released a statement saying Onyema was "charged with bank fraud and money laundering for moving more than $20 million from Nigeria through United States bank accounts in a scheme involving false documents based on the purchase of airplanes."

Government Corruption
Flaw and order: Jack Smith election case hangs on by a thread
[Washington Examiner] Former President Donald Trump’s four criminal cases have created an unprecedented legal gauntlet for him to run before voters have a chance to decide if he should return to the Oval Office. While Democrats cheer what they see as long-overdue accountability for the former president, some legal experts have expressed concerns that the cases — half are brought by partisan district attorneys, and the other half are overseen by the Biden Justice Department — are built on novel and unfair interpretations of the law.

In this series, the Washington Examiner will take a look at the flaws that could unravel the cases against Trump. Part four will look at the Washington case and the tough time Jack Smith will have securing a conviction.

#1  It all depends the Judiciary deciding whether or not they want to cool things off or go pell mell into civil war.

Come on the Constitution explicitly says electors will be chosen in a matter as determined by the states legislative branch. They ignored that in the challenge to PA's vote in 2020. The 14th Amendment is clear about 'equal protection' before the law but have ignored that time after time.

Rule iAW established law or just ignore it again.

#2  It is held together by the skanky thread of corruption- might as well be piano wire.
