If you want to know how something ended up getting accomplished, you always follow the money.
No matter what it is, whether it is someone taking an expensive vacation or someone attempting to steal from taxpayers, you can always follow the trail of money to figure out how something happened.
The socialist country of Venezuela’s state-owned energy company PDVSA just updated their financial disclosure records to reveal that they inked a $6 million deal to throw money at a heavy Democrat donor.
They did it at the exact same time they were unsuccessfully lobbying the Trump administration against sanctions but Marcia Wiss insists she’s not a lobbyist. Even so, the South American communists seem to be getting real cozy with the incoming administrators.
In Venezuela, “legitimacy” of a government depends on who you ask, so nobody minds the controversy surrounding Joe Biden’s selection. They just want to stay on the good side of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Before they get in trouble for it though, they had to update their filings to admit PDVSA is really a “foreign agent.” When they did, they admitted Wiss was on their payroll already, taking their money as fast as it could roll in, along with “scandal-tainted former Congressman” David Rivera.
On Thursday, PDVSA, the Venezuela owned and controlled oil company, admitted in SEC filings that their U.S. subsidiary PDV USA, registered in Delaware, started paying money to Marcia Wiss for the services of her law firm in March 2017. She was supposed to get $6 million for her advice.
