NOVARTIS cont& #39;d: "We made, just recently, a number of acquisitions. And we are probably one of the more innovative companies in the pharmaceutical field. And we are happy to say that gene therapy and cell therapy...were first approved in the US, and we are happy to continue..."

PRESIDENT TRUMP: A lot of great progress being made, I know that. Thank you very much.

DR. REINHARDT: Thank you.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Keep those prices down, please. (Laughter.)

Avenatti - love him or hate him - outed Trump& #39;s and Cohen& #39;s dealings with Novartis (scroll up in thread). Avenatti was arrested by IRS agents on 1/15/20 - a week before Trump sat down with the Novartis Chairman and other global execs at Davos: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/15/michael-avenatti-arrested-in-court-099127">https://www.politico.com/news/2020...

From what a few of us untangled, it looks like the reason Avenatti knew about the payments to Cohen, were his dealings w/ Keith Davidson, and the BANK that funnelled the payments through.

Next steps: look for connects between Rudy Giuliani and Novartis, trips to Switzerland, etc.

Sidebar: Giuliani& #39;s Kazbay clients (money laundering involving Trump), are avoiding jail time in Switzerland.

Kinda interesting...

Giuliani, Kazbay (Dutch shell co Rudy set up for Trump to launder money), Trump, and the Khrapunovs https://www.newsweek.com/giuliani-mysterious-ties-russia-former-soviet-union-decades-1215349?amp=1">https://www.newsweek.com/giuliani-...

Giuliani's ties to the former Soviet Union go back to the 1990s.

The Khrapunovs - Giuliani& #39;s peeps - the Swiss gov dismissed the lawsuit against them in 11/19. (Why wasn& #39;t this more widely reported, this is huge.)

Swiss dismiss Kazakh money laundering case

The Geneva prosecutor's office has closed a probe into suspected money laundering involving the former mayor of Kazakhstan's largest city.

Last line:

Swiss Pres Ueli Maurer plans a trip to Kazakhstan to meet the president and to discuss relations/cooperation...Ahead of his visit, Maurer is due to...meet Vladimir Putin in Moscow to discuss econ affairs and Switzerland& #39;s role as an intermediary btwn RU and Georgia."

I’m irritated the Swiss lawsuit against the Khrapunovs was dismissed, @WendySiegelman knows why (they did the crimes, looted the City of Almaty, Rudy helped, Trump profited), we tracked this for yrs. Anyone who has Giuliani and Switzeland trips, connects to Novartis, drop em.
