The Carlyle Group is one of the world's largest private equity companies. In 2015, they were the #1 largest.
With nearly $ 200 billion assets the Carlyle Group is the world’s probably largest “silent” investor in the political controlled sectors: aerospace, energy and war industries. https://steemit.com/politics/@steemitpolitics/the-carlyle-group-the-presidents-company-worlds-largest-war-industry
They are known as a part of the Iron Triangle-- industry, government, and the military. The Carlyle Group is infamous for the number of ex-Govt and high-ranking political leaders who work for them and/or invest in them.

Carlyle Group & 9/11 Connection
- On September 10, 2001, former President George H. W. Bush and several members of his cabinet had been present at a Carlyle Group business conference with Shafig bin Laden, a half-brother of Osama bin Laden, at the Ritz-Carlton hotel located several miles from the Pentagon. The conference was continuing with the remaining cabinet members and bin Laden's brother at the time of the Pentagon attack. George H. W. Bush remained an advisor to the Carlyle Group for two years after the attacks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_for_the_September_11_attacks
- The financial assets of the Saudi Binladen Corporation (SBC) are also managed by the Carlyle Group. The Bin Laden family liquidated its holdings in Carlyle’s funds in October 2001, just after the September 11 attacks, when the connection of their family name to the Carlyle Group’s name became impolitic. https://www.themillennialbridge.com/the-truth-of-deep-state1staple-street-capital-who-owns-dominion-voting-involves-a-huge-political-background/
TLDR: The deep state owns Dominion Voting Systems through Staple Street Capital (setup by Carlyle Group and Cerberus executives.) Ties to high up political figures in US and foreign governments.
Interesting. I haven't dug deep into Cerberus yet. However, just the name puts up some red flags. The dog that guards hell and serves Hades?
