The hate towards celebrities giving their political opinions is so funny when the US has had celebrities as elected officials.

It just sounds like some people are really upset when a celebrity gives an opinion they don't agree with.

TopicLawyers say 'tax haven' is a dirty word in Panama Papers case

https://www.icij.org/investigations/panama-papers/lawyers-say-tax-haven-is-a-dirty-word-in-panama-papers-case/

Federal prosecutors should not describe offshore entities as shell companies or call Panama or the British Virgin Islands tax havens in the upcoming Panama Papers criminal trial in New York, according to defense attorneys.

Motions filed in New Yorks Southern District court last week by lawyers for Joachim von der Goltz, a former U.S. taxpayer, and Richard Gaffey, a Massachusetts accountant, seek to blast a hole in the United States governments allegations of tax evasion, wire fraud and money laundering.
Prosecutors allege that von der Goltz evaded U.S. taxes through offshore companies with the help of Gaffey and employees of Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca. Documents leaked from the law firm form the basis of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists 2016 Panama Papers investigation.
Von der Goltz and Gaffey allegedly hid the formers ownership of shell companies and millions of dollars in assets by falsely claiming that von der Goltzs Guatemalan mother was the owner, according to prosecutors.

The men deny all charges. Von der Goltz managed the companies on his mothers behalf, he claims.

Last week, attorneys asked Judge Richard M. Berman to exclude portions of the governments evidence as prejudicial to a fair trial by jury. Judge Berman has not yet ruled on the request.

Gaffey and von der Goltz told Judge Berman that the words shell company and tax haven would inflame the passions of the jury.
As a result of the sensational attention that the Panama Papers disclosures have drawn, including hundreds of newspaper articles, numerous books, and a motion picture with several Oscar winners in the cast and crew, the concept of shell companies has become a four-letter word synonymous with illicit financial activity, attorneys wrote. Attorneys cited a scene from the 2019 Netflix film The Laundromat in which Meryl Streeps character links shell companies to the death of her husband.

Attorneys also argued that the federal government should not be allowed to claim that U.S. citizens were victims of von der Goltzs alleged tax evasion.
Comments about harm to United States citizens may lead the jury erroneously to assume that Mr. von der Goltz is responsible for the widespread ramifications of the alleged misdeeds revealed by the Panama Papers, attorneys wrote.

Gaffeys attorneys also asked Judge Berman to bar evidence of Gaffeys exchanges with another former Mossack Fonseca client, Marianna Olszewski.

TopicUS to deploy 3,500 additional troops to the Middle East

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/03/us-to-deploy-more-troops-to-the-middle-east-after-iranian-gen-soleimani-killed.html

The U.S. military will send about 3,500 additional soldiers to the Middle East following the killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani less than a day earlier, NBC News reported Friday, citing three U.S. defense officials and one U.S. military official.

The new troops are being deployed to Iraq, Kuwait and other parts of the region, NBC reported. The deployment of one brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division 700 of which have already been dispatched to the Middle East are ordered to serve as a response to threats throughout the region, according to NBC.

But the defense officials maintain that the additional soldiers is not a direct response to Soleimanis death, which has enraged Irans leadership and spurred incendiary threats of vengeance from the oil-rich Middle Eastern nation.

Rather, it is rather a continuation of an earlier announcement this week to send troops to the region, the officials told NBC.

The U.S. announced late Thursday that it carried out a surprise airstrike in Baghdad that killed Soleimani, one of Irans most powerful figures who has been blamed for the deaths of hundreds of Americans.
The State Department has urged U.S. citizens to leave Iraq.

The Defense Department said in a statement that the decisive defensive action was taken to protect U.S. personnel abroad, claiming that Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.

Soleimani also gave a green light for the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place days earlier, according to the Pentagon.

The new deployment is the latest in a series of aggressive moves between the U.S. and Iran.
Over the weekend, the U.S. carried out military strikes in Iraq and Syria against an Iran-backed Shiite Muslim militia group. A wave of protests in Iraq followed, culminating in the attack on U.S. Embassy on New Years Eve.
Stocks fell Friday, while oil prices surged higher.

President Donald Trump defended the airstrike in a pair of tweets Monday morning.

General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more...but got caught! Trump wrote. He should have been taken out many years ago!

A South Carolina man and and his daughter died after being shot while hunting deer on New Year's Day, a relative of the victims told CNN affiliate WCBD.

Kim Drawdy, 30, and his 9-year-old daughter, Lauren, were hunting Wednesday near their home in Walterboro, South Carolina, according to Benny Drawdy, Kim's brother.

The two were shot by hunters after being mistaken for deer, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR). The agency said a group of four hunters was driving deer, which is when a group walks toward the animals to move them, but it did not give further details on how two of the hunters were shot.
"When I got the message, I just couldn't believe it," Drawdy told WCBD. "My heart stopped when they told me it was my brother and his daughter."

Emergency crews responded and found the victims about half a mile into the woods, Colleton County Fire Chief Barry McRoy told CNN. The Colleton County Coroner has not yet released the cause and manner of death, according McRoy.

The SCDNR is investigating the shooting.

General Qassem Soleimani has killed or badly wounded thousands of Americans over an extended period of time, and was plotting to kill many more...but got caught! He was directly and indirectly responsible for the death of millions of people, including the recent large number of PROTESTERS killed in Iran itself. While Iran will never be able to properly admit it, Soleimani was both hated and feared within the country. They are not nearly as saddened as the leaders will let the outside world believe. He should have been taken out many years ago!

Because Trump is such a trustworthy source and has never lied.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The United States embassy in Baghdad urged on Friday all citizens to depart Iraq immediately, hours after the U.S. killed Iranian Quds Force leader Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in an air strike.

Due to heightened tensions in Iraq and the region, the U.S. Embassy urges American citizens to heed the January 2020 Travel Advisory and depart Iraq immediately. U.S. citizens should depart via airline while possible, and failing that, to other countries via land, it said in a statement.
