The rampant corruption continues in plain sight and not a peep out of you!

Donald Trump hosted an event in the Oval Office last week that was bizarre, even by his usual standards. Over the course of roughly an hour, the public saw the president stand alongside the nation’s three most powerful federal law enforcement officials — Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel — and heard him talk about the political enemies he wanted them to pursue. But if that weren’t quite enough, about halfway through the White House gathering, Trump also made an unscripted, offhand comment that went largely overlooked at the time. After whining about the FBI’s court-approved search of Mar-a-Lago and peddling a variety of false and familiar claims about his classified documents scandal, the Republican said, “I have a lawsuit that was doing very well, and when I became president, I said I’m sort of suing myself.” He quickly added, “I don’t know, how do you settle the lawsuit? I’ll say, ‘Give me X dollars,’ right?” It’s an important detail. As bewildering as this might seem, we’re dealing with a dynamic in which federal officials pursued cases of alleged misconduct against a then-former president. The evidence was serious enough that the then-former president faced two federal criminal indictments and was charged with several felonies. The defendant pleaded not guilty and mounted a defense, right up until 49.8% of American voters decided to return him to the White House, at which point the criminal cases effectively evaporated. A year later, that former criminal defendant has seized control over the same Justice Department that tried to hold him to account, and if the New York Times is correct, he wants to pay himself roughly $230 million because he believes he’s entitled to the taxpayer money as repayment for the trouble he endured as a result of his own alleged crimes. The rampant corruption continues in plain sight and not a peep out of you! Why??
