Former Attorney General Bill Barr shouted from his high horse that NO ONE WAS ABOVE THE LAW after the events of January 6, thereafter attempting to prosecute Trump for RICO charges. Barr himself failed to realize that he was not above the law–Project Veritas has revealed he was operating an illegal visa scheme for foreign billionaires.
Patrícia Lelis, a former journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings (HSH), admitted she was involved in the scheme orchestrated by political commentator Armstrong Williams and Barr. Intelligence agencies attempted to pin the crime on Lelis, who later revealed to Project Veritas the true nature of the scheme.
Wealthy foreigners wishing to secure visas and bypass the immigration process would reach out to Williams or Barr, offering hundreds of thousands if not millions in exchange for E-2 visas. These visas were created under the premise that the foreigners were creating businesses in the US. Not only did these people never work for the companies on record, but the companies never existed in the first place.
Lelis claims she reported directly to Democratic New York assembly member Clyde Vanel. Williams and Barr demanded that Lelis use her personal bank accounts to launder the money. While Armstrong may have been the mastermind, Barr’s reputation and connections helped them to expedite the visa process.
Project Veritas attempted to visit the headquarters of Reis Cosmetics, a company created through this scheme, only to find a vacant building. Lelis grew weary of the increasing amount of money she was expected to launder, and reported the crime to the FBI. Instead of investigating, the FBI attempted to pin the entire operation on Lelis.
Text messages sent on burner phones confirm Lelis’s claims. “It is far more easy to defraud the immigration system and the government more than the people think,” she stated. “And I have proof of that because that’s what Armstrong and Bill Barr does.” The US government does not check if people are truly operating or working for companies once the visa process is approved. A leak in the system has been revealed.
The government will need to independently verify the claims that were brought to the public sphere on August 7. These are substantial crimes—visa fraud, conspiracy to commit visa fraud, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, money laundering, and false statements or obstruction of justice. Lelis may also bring civil charges against the men who began to threaten her when she refused to participate.
Barr has committed blatant RICO violations through his criminal activity. Barr accused Trump of violating RICO laws, all while he was running an underground visa scheme to help wealthy foreigners gain illegal entry into the United States.
