I recall being suspicious of this at the time.

I think our days of international respect are behind us
The world no longer trusts us and that will not end once Trump is gone
The people who elected him are still here
LOL
 
Its in bed sleeping comfortably.
Which is another way of saying potentially damning evidence is being suppressed. Reminds me of the transcript of trump's extortion of Zelenskyy being locked away in a vault.

It now appears that President Donald Trump was running an extortion campaign against Ukraine, as well as a complex cover-up to keep the public in the dark about his abuse of power. On July 18, 2019, the Trump administration withheld $250 million of military aid to Ukraine. Seven days later, Trump held a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which he asked Zelensky to work with Rudy Giuliani and U.S. Attorney General William Barr to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

The transcript of this call, which was partially the subject of a whistleblower complaint, reportedly was initially buried by the White House. It has now come out that the phone call with Zelensky wasn’t the only conversation between Trump and a foreign leader that the administration sought to hide; reports say Trump also recently tried to persuade Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to work with Barr to discredit the Russia investigation.

 
When you take a step back and look at his resume......... his history of sexual assaults, stealing money from a charity, orchestrating a subversion of the Constitution, pathological lying, bankruptcies, refusing to comply with a subpoena for stolen classified docs.........it's more than a little shocking anyone thought he was fit to be a dog catcher let alone the prez.
Yet. You spend every waking moment of your pathetic existence obsessed over Trump while your whinging complaints apply equally to your religious fervor over ole' stumblebum
Tom Homan, who was later named President Trump’s border czar, was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation, according to people familiar with the case, which was later shut down by Trump administration officials.

The cash payment, which was made inside a bag from the food chain Cava, grew out of a long-running counterintelligence investigation that had not been targeting Mr. Homan, according to the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the case.

Mr. Homan’s encounter with the undercover agents, recorded on audiotape, led him to be investigated for potential bribery and other crimes, after he apparently took the money and agreed to help the agents — who were posing as businessmen — secure future government contracts related to border security, the people said.


Agree or disagree that someone who took a bribe based on "after he apparently took the money and agreed to help the agents — who were posing as businessmen — secure future government contracts related to border security" should not have been given a job in which he would be in a position to deliver on his promise?
Debunked long ago, darlin'

I think you have made it clear you have no credible evidence of him accepting said bribe.
But the DoJ does. Which is why the investigation was quashed.


I'd be surprised if D's don't follow up on this assuming they take the House next year. It will be interesting to see if the regime stonewalls another subpoena as it did with the Epstein files.

“The fact that the incoming Trump Administration reportedly closed this investigation prematurely raises further concerns that the Administration is weaponizing our system of justice to protect the president’s friends and to persecute his political foes,” the letter, led by Sens. Gary Peters, D-Mich., Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., and Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said.
 

Trump’s team skips FBI background checks for some Cabinet picks​

President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is bypassing traditional FBI background checks for at least some of his Cabinet picks while using private companies to conduct vetting of potential candidates for administration jobs, people close to the transition planning say.

Trump and his allies believe the FBI system is slow and plagued with issues that could stymie the president-elect’s plan to quickly begin the work of implementing his agenda, people briefed on the plans said. Critics say the intrusive background checks sometimes turn up embarrassing information used to inflict political damage.


Given Don's prior experience during trump 1.0 it wasn't surprising he'd be reluctant to allow his picks to be exposed to FBI scrutiny.

Officials rejected Jared Kushner for top secret security clearance, but were overruled​

Kushner's was one of at least 30 cases in which Kline overruled career security experts and approved a top-secret clearance for incoming Trump officials despite unfavorable information, the two sources said.

All of which puts this in the proper perspective.

Border czar Tom Homan didn’t receive normal background check during bribery probe

In early January, several days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, a Justice Department lawyer passed an envelope across a wide desk to a top Trump transition official. Enclosed was a bombshell, typed up in a one-page summary, according to two people briefed on the meeting.

As he read the contents of the envelope, the official, Emil Bove (
the guy who would later tell DoJ subordinates to ignore court orders), closed his eyes and grimaced, according to the people, who requested anonymity to discuss a sensitive case. It revealed that Tom Homan — at that time, a frequent companion of Trump’s on the campaign trail who had publicly boasted he would be joining Trump’s administration to lead his immigrant deportation strategy — was the subject of an ongoing bribery investigation. Undercover FBI agents posing as private contractors had recorded him accepting $50,000 in cash in exchange for what they believed was Homan’s vow to help get border enforcement contracts in the new Trump administration.

A small group of career lawyers at the Justice Department felt an urgency to share this sensitive information with the president-elect’s team as soon as possible, hoping to head off potential embarrassment and a security clearance problem before Trump picked his future Cabinet and top appointees.


Heck, when you pick a nominee to be AG who was investigated for sex trafficking (wait..WHAT!), and a nominee for border czar who was investigated for taking a bribe (wait...WHAT!), the last thing you want is to have those nominees go through the normal background check process.

After all, loyalists like Pam and Kash had yet to be installed in key DoJ posts. Meaning that for the folks doing a check on Homan, the tape of him taking $50K in cash was..........let's just say it was "problematic."

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a White House briefing that “Mr. Homan never took the $50,000 that you’re referring to” despite an internal DOJ document stating that he did.

"These aren't the drones you're looking for, move along," says Karoline.
How cute. You think you get to tell the election winner who he can or can't have....Good grief.
 
A bribe which at the time of offering he had no way of fulfilling.
trump decided to appoint Homan before the conclusion of the then ongoing investigation. Gee, I wonder if he thought he was never going to let the result of the investigation see the light of day so why not appoint Tom.

A 2019 article? I guess you are really running out of things to use to deflect from the Epstein files

Remember:

The things we wonder in our heads - what the voices say - don't mean they are real.

Actually, I don't. But trump decided to appoint Homan before the conclusion of the then ongoing investigation. Cuz having another member of the regime who committed criminal acts is desirable for Don. Perhaps cuz he thought it would take attention away from his own criminality.

More poutrage from the leftards.

When are those ******* idiots going to start coming up with solutions, instead of ragging on Donald Trump all the time?

******* brain dead morons are completely clueless. Yesterday another immigration judge tried to usurp executive authority.

What a bunch of fucktards. God help us if these cretins ever get back into power.
