🚨🚨🚨 An explosive new House Judiciary Committee report exposes the Trump family’s multi-billion-dollar crypto empire, fueled by self-dealing and corrupt foreign interests, the dismantling of anti-corruption safeguards, and pardons for corporate cronies.
These Crypto Giants Sent Trump Money. His Administration Let Them Off Easy
It took more than fame for Trump and his sons to build a crypto empire. They also got a lot of help from industry insiders, many of whom happened to need a hand from the president.

Halligan is the Unicorn of horses. Only exists in the imagination.
Per multiple sources:

At 430p, instruction was reversed. They were told to resume using Halligan’s name

Repeat performance
A Ponzi schemer stole roughly $35M from dozens who believed they were investing in Covid-19 masks, baby formula, & first aid kits for Ukraine. trib.al/igE0b89

For whatever reason, Trump decided to include him in the whopping 143-person pardon issued the day before he left office in 2021.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Ghislaine Maxwell: as she is doing time already, Congress shd immunize her which would force her to have to testify (she is currently objecting based on the 5th A). She can be prosecuted if she lies or refuses to testify. And it would make it that much more outlandish for Trump to later pardon her.

Job growth in the first year of Donald Trump’s second term is on pace to be the worst since the Great Recession. So why is his team bragging?
