Barr is on the record as saying that Trump should not be re-elected. Maybe he should step up and verify that he or his underlings squelched this investigation.
I thought Barr said that Trump doesn’t have the character to be president and also that Barr would be voting for him.
Ah yes, he said he would vote the Republican ticket, because “I think the real danger to the country — the real danger to democracy, as I say — is the progressive agenda,” he continued. “Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide in my opinion.”
Doubtful if Harris will make him change his vote.
Is this why they are pushing the no tax on tips thing?
Selling state secrets to the country’s enemies and accepting bribes as president and committing sexual assault and running a corrupt business = a bit naughty
Accepting people for who they are and being compassionate and looking after the economy = woke and national suicide.
OK then.
And why is that? Oh, yeah, because they stopped the investigation.
I would think this is the easy part. Every 5 minutes it seems like Trump has some ridiculous money-making scheme, like selling NFTs, or coins with his picture, or bibles… Any one of them could be used to convert that money potentially.
Heck, Trump has recently been talking up cryptocurrency a lot, and that’s notoriously used for money laundering.
I’m just saying, where Trump is concerned this seems like the easiest part to understand. We also know he lies constantly about his financial info too, I mean he’s literally a convicted felon because of fraudulent business records.
One way is to buy real estate.
Of course, with shell companies and such, it’s damn near impossible to track down the source of any particular transactions.
The last one involved an Egyptian, but it was before he was president.
What is certain is that investments pay off.

“Wow, Mr. Trump, enrollment at your new Trump University II that only accepts cash tuition payments is skyrocketing!”
So I don’t know if Trump took a bribe from Egypt or not (although I personally think he absolutely would) but here he is admitting publicly that he took a bribe from Elon Musk:
Musk, for his varied and colorful faults, is at least smart enough to deny that he is bankrolling Trump through some shady means that completely bypasses those pesky campaign finance laws. But Trump of course never met a secret that he didn’t want to immediately blather to a crowd. It’s not illegal if you brag about it, right?
Well, and endorsement doesn’t have to be anything more than “I like Trump”. Doesn’t have to be money.
Musk said that he’s not donating $45 million a month to Trump.
Maybe he’s donating $46 million a month.
Or he’s donating to some SuperPAC that funnels to Trump but by definition isn’t Trump in and of itself.
I am of the opinion that no one and I mean no one is friends with Elon Musk for any reason other than his money. Trump saying he has “no choice” is the part that tells me there is money involved. Trump expects people to worship him, he’s not going to be ride-or-die for Musk on account of some flattering words. I think what Trump is saying here is “Musk rented my loyalty and other special interests out there can rent it too!”
I’m still trying to stamp this out. Kushner and cronies were hired to invest $2billion of the Saudi soverign fund; Kushner got an unreasonable compensation plan, but not $2 billion. MBS approved of the ‘gift’ over the objections of the governing board.
And, yes, Kushner did tell MBS of the CIA’s preference for a different shiek who promptly disappeared.
Meh, short hand reference to the situation. He’s getting his 20 + 2 (no, I don’t actually know what the specifics of the scheme!!) for selling secrets, not for financial services. That’s what matters.
Especially not if you can squelch the investigation and/or steer the case to a pet paid-for judge. That’s how the legal system works in countries w suborned judiciaries and crooked i vestigation / prosecution services.
Last time trump only hot the job maybe 10% done. He and his enablers intend to finish the job quickly if they take power. Note I did not say “… if they’re elected.”
They don’t intend to let some piddling obstacle like losing the election derail their takeover.
