On Monday, Popular Information reported on President Trump’s October 23 pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, who pled guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws.
If anyone thinks Pam Bondi will care they are delusional. She took a payoff from Trump when she was AG of Florida to get rid of a lawsuit against one of his sham companies.
100-to-1 says Bondi won't indict, much less even write a strongly worded letter. She's as much a part of the Trump Crime Family as Trump or any of his kids. My only question is: does MAGA know and not care? Or not (quite) know...?
Assuming the GOP doesn't establish permanent one-party rule within the next year or two, complete with a Ministry of Truth, will school history books ever give Trump his due as the most corrupt President since the founding?
So many crimes! So many pardons! How can you keep track of all the people Trump has pardoned? Use the free Criminal-In-Chief app on your phone or laptop.
Warren Harding may have qualified as a "smart president," especially since he was a very popular president and his corruption surfaced posthumously. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_G._Harding
Whoa! That's why I love this forum and community. I learn things all of the time not only from PI, but from reading and responding to comments and commenters too!
The presidential pardon power, even when abused, is absolute. But like to many criminals that Trump has pardoned, it's only a matter of time before this crypto-criminal crimes again. And unless Blondi stays as AG, and Ka$h stays at FBI nothing will happen to him. But nothing and no one last forever. They will be gone and he will be in prison.
Oh ho! And what did Ms. Bondi do with the senators' letter? Let's just say, this is why we keep the copy and the receipts. Each day this grifter in chief takes our government a step further, away from the law, ethics, decency and morality. Steps that aren't little wobbly paces on his fat cankles, no, these are big huge AI-rendered leaps from a crumbling presidency to an authoritarian crown. No turning back, and no bread crumbs strewn, except "strongly worded letters" to show where we've come from and how we are getting back.
Trouble is, with the government as it is currently configured BY THE VOTERS, anything beyond such "strongly worded letters," amounts to insurrection, revolution, or a military coup. It may yet come to that, but just be aware that this is what you're advocating for. Will you lead the charge?
It's important to try to understand how this type of money corruption undermines actual investment in productive capacity in the U.S. economy. Over the past several decades, financialization of the U.S. economy has gone hand-in-hand with disinvestment in manufacturing. People with management potential sit in rooms and think up "investment" schemes instead of creating/doing real work. Crypto generally is fiat currency controlled by anonymous and/or self-interested groups of wealthy people. It is much more prone to corruption and to ripping off middle-income people than is government-issued currency.
The wealthiest people in the US all make their money playing games with money. Almost none of them are involved in actual invention, innovation, or bringing new (and useful) products to market. Musk's companies and AI are all nothing but vaporware, with their bubbles just waiting to burst. Huge amounts of wealth (and jobs) will disappear at that point. Hopefully there will be a system of "regular currency" that still functions for the rest of us when that happens (though the crypto bros are trying to wipe that out in order to further enable their flim flam and rip offs of unsuspecting investors). Whether the banking system survives will depend on how deeply our banks were invested in crypto, themselves.
The TRUMP CRIME FAMILY has continuously used Trump's position as President of the United States as a center point for their world wide grift. They have enriched themselves through these kinds of deals over and over again. Many of Trump's tariff negotiations involve back room deals for far below market real estate purchases (if not outright giveaways) as payment for reducing tariffs (if not a gift of a jet "palace in the sky").
The Trump regime is without any moral center. Each cabinet secretary pursues his or her own pet, petty agenda, based on their own severe psychological dysfunctions, while Trump provides a smokescreen of constant distractions while asking only one relevant question: "What's in it for me?"
Under Trump, everything American taxpayers have built over 200 years is for sale to the highest bidder. Since they use nothing but magical thinking and do not do math and proper record keeping, it will only be after Trump's gone that we will begin to realize how deeply he has bankrupted the United States as he has every other enterprise he has overseen (all without consulting Congress as the Constitution requires), to levels previously unseen in the history of the world.
After Trump is gone (the sooner the better), and we discover how deep a hole we're in, I'd suggest we start to fill that hole by dumping in every politician, network executive, oligarch, media owner, spokesmodel, and every Internet source that consistently cheered Trump on as he destroyed us. Perhaps future archeologists will find their remnants buried under the new society we're going to have to build if humanity is going to survive these years (as the East coast and Alaskan shoreline communities wash away while no one dares to mention climate change and sea level rise as primary causes).
So blatant it’s laughable… the majority don’t care what he does…certainly not the justice department, “supreme” court, or Republican controlled house + senate…
an the crypto mines fail or am I being too simplistic...since I clearly don't understand... hopefully they can fail by overheating.... what a disgusting situation
I don’t know how to get in touch with you, but I’d like to suggest you look into Peter Thiel, Palantir, and Austrian Ex-Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. If you have time amidst all your other “lookings into.”

They know that. Nevertheless, it is important that they put it on the record.
My exact same first thought. PB got that letter and said, "ya, and?"

The WSJ reported this yesterday. The usual MAGA contingent were absent from the comments.

What other reason is there to be a US president than to enrich oneself and buddies?
He thought all previous presidents were "stupid presidents" because they failed to apply 'The Grift' monetize the presidency. Unbelievable!

Sickening.
As always, thank you for your digging.
It’s self-evident that Warren is right.
