Trump posted the following which was obviously supposed to be a DM or a text then deleted it. He then reposted it with name of Lindsey Halligan’s last name added as if that was the mistake. As usual, instead of admitting something he just doubled down.
This is beyond outrageous. Trump is openly ordering his Attorney General to prosecute his enemies and admitting to firing a US Attorney who was unable to find the evidence to do so. It is an outright abuse of presidential power, and an impeachable offense if there ever was one.
He’s not trying to hide anything anymore. I’m not sure he’s capable of it. But he is also so drunk with power –and not without justification— that nothing can stop him from doing anything he chooses.
In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC.
The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according to six sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation, after FBI Director Kash Patel requested a status update on the case, two of the people said.
It’s unclear what reasons FBI and Justice Department officials gave for shutting down the investigation. But a Trump Justice Department appointee called the case a “deep state” probe in early 2025 and no further investigative steps were taken, the sources say.
It was on tape.
Of course, half the Trump administration is on the take, including the president, soI suppose they really didn’t want to open this Pandora’s Box. Still, the corruption doesn’t get any more blatant than that.
