Todd Blanche Shut Down Crypto Enforcement While Holding Crypto Assets — ProPublica #corruption

Top DOJ Official Shut Down Enforcement Against Crypto Companies While Holding More Than $150,000 in Crypto Investments
The second-highest official at the DOJ, Todd Blanche rose to prominence as Trump’s personal defense attorney. His actions violated the federal conflicts of interest law and his ethics agreement, experts told ProPublica.

A bribe to get rid of a bribery charge. A truly third-world regime. 🥺
There's a lot more of this and worse in the linked #NYT article.

One very important point made by Maia Sandu, President of Moldova, in this interview: if you have dark money corrupting your elections, you cannot wait until after the elections to investigate, arrest, and debar candidates: once the corrupt are elected, you're stuck with them.

Won't be surprised if some journalists "voluntarily" give over their Pulitzers, what with all the pending news-media consolidations.
And litterateurs giving their Nobel, Booker awards. Those Truths are obv. superior.
Not to forget bravery awards.

"I’m not looking for money. I’d give it to charity or something.”
Yup, most of it will go to "something" and to "charities" which are actually "something". Plus the tax break from giving to "charities".
Daylight robbery.

List of donors for White House ballroom:
BTW the cost estimate went from $200M to $300M. I suppose it will keep going up as "more donors come forward".

Out of focus: #Corruption, #Ballroom, #Scam, Self aggrandization, #ICE misdeeds,...
Overall, I guess he wins this round. 😢

"He has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion"
At least he's an actual billionaire now. 🤷‍♂️
And I believe his goal is to exit the office a trillionaire. 🤑

He just said the Colombian President needs to “watch his ass”.

Moving things from the back burner to the front in case the #Epstein files don't lose steam. The energy profits won't be bad anyway.

Rubio’s statement was the most informative. Makes it clear this President is going to do whatever he wants to do. A warning for the world.
#theAmericanFascist will do what he wants.
Now he says the USA is in charge.
We’re going to run the country right. It’s going to make a lot of money. We’re going to reimburse people #corruption.
We are designating people…
He’s basically saying Venezuela is going to be run by people in the White House.

Now we see why Trump wants AI companies to thrive. There's every chance that AI companies are motivated and committed to "funding" this fusion company.
Just one more stop in the AI "investment circle jerk".

I don't know what y'all are complaining about. $230M is less than a dollar per person in USA; less than $2 per voter or tax filer.
How about y'all include $2 "injustice compensation" in annual tax filing for the next four years and we call it square? Deal? 🤑

"Trump calls for end of Senate filibuster to break funding stalemate"
Ah yes, end filibuster to end shutdown, and keep the buster ended for all the grifting and dictating to come. 🤓
