Of Riggs, Bandar, and Bush

As America swoons into hysteria over the Donald's use of the word "pussy," there is a another term of double entendre for the female genitalia that caught our attention in the recent Trump tape fury: Bush. Billy Bush, we will show, has good motivation to jog his memory of that conversation, conveniently caught on tape, of eleven years ago.

Donald's buddy in the locker-room talk, Access Hollywood co-host Billy Bush is cousin to George W. and nephew to George H. W., being the son of Jonathan J. Bush (Skull and Bones '53), who handled the accounts of foreign embassies at his J. Bush & Co., which in 1997 was purchased by the Riggs Bank (see Wikipedia; Howard Kurtz, "The First Brother," The New Yorker, Oct. 8, 1990, excerpts at books.google; Washington Post of May 15, 2004, Web Site Cites Bush-Riggs Link, though the David Sirota article cited - "Bush's Uncle Is Executive At Bank Fined for Laundering Saudi Money" - is not to be found in the archives of his current site, 404!) It was from the Riggs account of Saudi ambassador to U.S. Prince Bandar (known as "Bandar Bush") that funds were withdrawn and then transfered to alleged 9/11 hijackers Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaq al-Hazmi (see Ted Kahl at Democrats.com, Jan. 18, 2005: The Riggs Bank Scandal: Pinochet, the CIA, Saudis, 9/11...and...Jonathan Bush!; Jeffery Steinberg in Executive Intelligence Review, June 29, 2007: Prince Bandar and 9/11).

With the recent release of the hitherto classified, but still partly redacted chapter in the congressional Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, (28 Pages), which reveals some of Prince Bandar's and other Saudi royals' connections to Al Qaeda and certain 9/11 operatives; also, with the recent passage, veto, and override of the JASTA bill (Congress), and with this the green light given for lawsuits against those Saudis who can be connected to the 9/11 attacks; the Bushes, but Jonathan particularly, may have something to worry over, should certain transactions be revealed through the discovery process of the anticipated lawsuits.

Jonathan Bush was elected in May 2000 as President & Chief Executive Officer and a Director of RIMCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Riggs Bank N. A. -see SourceWatch. In 1988, Riggs Investment Management Corporation (RIMCO) is created as a subsidiary of Riggs Bank to manage all the money in the trust department and new clients in the institutional, non-profit and pension markets. -from Scripophily.com. Inasmuch as Jonathan handled accounts for foreign embassies with his J. Bush and Co., it is reasonable to assume that he would handle some of the same when Riggs purchased his company in '97.

It is easy to see that the Bushes have a great interest in seeing a friend of the family installed in the Oval Office come January. It is no surprise then that markers are coming in heavy upon Trump. In Jeb's marker on Trump, we anticipated it coming from another angle, but it may be coming yet - if a hail Mary pass is needed. There have already been false starts...
