Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.​

In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration, according to multiple people familiar with the probe and internal documents reviewed by MSNBC.

The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the case indefinitely stalled soon after Donald Trump became president again in January, according to six sources familiar with the matter. In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation, after FBI Director Kash Patel requested a status update on the case, two of the people said.

The rationale the trump government has used to tuck the investigation in to a drawer is it was "politically motivated." a Trump Justice Department appointee called the case a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

But Homan was not the original target in the probe.

The federal investigation was launched in western Texas in the summer of 2024 after a subject in a separate investigation claimed Homan was soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the presidential election, according to an internal Justice Department summary of the probe reviewed by MSNBC and people familiar with the case.

I can't put my finger on why, but Homan accepting a bag of cash fits him like a glove. Something about him gives off a mob boss sensibility.

Anyway, during the 2024 campaign Homan made no secret of the power he would have if trump was re-elected. Homan, who served as acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement early in Trump’s first term, openly claimed during the 2024 campaign that he would play a prominent role in carrying out Trump’s promised mass deportations. Making the acceptance of bribes all the more believable.

This incident, and the subsequent coverup, rounds out the portfolio of corruption in trump 2.0.

Trump's people will protect Trump's people, or else. Nothing authoritarian about that!

And anyway, Biden was much worse! He was a dictator sent by Satan!

 

[odanny]

Have we ever had a more corrupt President than Trump?

Of course we haven't. Trump makes it easy, everyone working for him passed the loyalty test, therefore they won't be investigated for corruption, and everyone is green lighted to act like he does.

More democrat lawfare falls apart

If this was true, why didn't Sleepy Joe release it for the public before the election when it mattered?

Again, just another liberal lie

They do not release that evidence, before it is shown in a trial as evidence. Surely, you know that...?

Just as with the thread I started about the events surrounding US Attorney Seibert's resignation, or firing depending on who you believe, trumples have been reduced to responding with ineffectual whataboutisms and little else.

Cuz, they got nothin'.

This would be far more interesting if they'd just admit what they are and what they want.

Then we could discuss THAT.

It's not exactly a mystery any more.

If you had read the article I posted a link to you'd already know the answer.

Several FBI and Justice officials believed that they had a strong criminal case against Homan for conspiracy to commit bribery based on recording him accepting cash and his apparent promise to assist with contracts, according to four people familiar with the probe. Homan could have been charged with a crime then, legal experts say, but his case was unusual: He was not a public official, and Trump was not president at the time he accepted money in the FBI’s undercover sting, so his actions didn’t clearly fit under a standard bribery charge.

Top officials privately debated the possible charges given Homan’s status at the time, people familiar with the case said. But several concluded it would be better for the investigation to continue to monitor his actions once he was back in public office. According to a document reviewed by MSNBC, Justice officials were eyeing four potential criminal charges in his case: conspiracy, bribery and two kinds of fraud.

Do you think they've given any thought to it? Or are they just reflexively defending everything the orange piece of shit does?

Of course we haven't. Trump makes it easy, everyone working for him passed the loyalty test, therefore they won't be investigated for corruption, and everyone is green lighted to act like he does.

We keep repeating these things over and over and over. This over a period of years and decades. So, this is what the internet is. The men and women of the fledgling Tea Party that were destroyed because they were not financed from anyone or had money you shit on. They were eventually infiltrated by shills and the elites to destroy them. A women running for the Senate in Delaware from the tea party was an example. We end up with Coons. Corrupted to the core and an oligarchy-controlled shill even letting Joe fondle his daughter when sworn in.

It seems to me that some are the real thing, literal neofascists, and the rest are the useful idiots that enable them. History tells us that. I can't tell what the percentages are.

Trump himself is just a tool. He's so desperately immature, self centered and vengeful that he's of huge value to people like Stephen Miller. Trump is a just a walking tragedy, and he's being used.

What's your guess?

If they really had a "strong case" , they had all the way to noon on 20 January 2025 to bring it up without the adults being in the room.

The fact that their attempt to frame Mr. Homan completely collapsed means they didn't have shit.
