I am thinking more and more the high-end art thing is a big international money laundering thing.
Hillary has her embassy art program to move crate-loads and plane-loads of "things" around the world, these people seem to all collect a lot of high-end "art" like the Podesta bros. etc. and George Webb said (at 20 sec. mark) John Podesta is secreting all his billions around the world via art transfers to stash $$$ in a way that is hard to confiscate/expropriate later.
Plus art has wacky 'price' system that is all subjective and set by famously crooked auction houses.
Art discussion with any #pizzagate actors can be considered like bullion or bonds or any wealth-transfer vehicle. (opinion)

Perhaps buying "art" is just a way to buy sex with a child for some. I think some of this might be just direct payments rather than laundering. But with the knowledge by the seller and the buyer that along with the piece of "art" comes time with a child. I don't have any direct information that this is being done, but does anyone really think these things they call art are worth the price tags on them. I am sure they are buying something else. For instance https://www.saatchiart.com/paintings/modern I am not sure the term money laundering actually covers a direct payment for a token piece of art and (wink wink a kid).

The paintings do not go through customers, and count as a "cultural export" so they are a great way to launder money.
They are also secure. If a "painting" gets stolen, then how can it get sold? only a die hard collector would want it.
But no one is collecting the modern art, only the government and certain individuals. The lack of a black market for this stuff indicates that there is something artificial in these transactions, like a form of money laundering.

Also has Jeff Koons.
"Jeff Koons donated $50,000 USD to correct the record, a political hit squad founded by David Brock, a close associate of John Podesta and James Alefantis."

Also from the same article on Qatar: " Lobbying fees paid to Podesta Group: $390,000 2015 | Islami Bank Bangladesh | $300,000 2016 | Islami Bank Bangladesh | $90,000"

This article is eye opening. Also there is the painting of the guys playing cards that went for record amounts. Wasn't "cards" a hint we were supposed to follow?
Tarot cards, Illuminati cards... take your pick.

I find the billions of dollars for weapons for Qatar which is known to support terrorists most disturbing. Is that how James Comey made his 6 million dollars at Lockheed Martin???

That level of corruption is beyond my comprehension for today. Unbelievable.
