The Trump Swamp: MAGA Nation.

[njbill]

If Biden wins, it is going to be VERY interesting what comes out when all of the Trump shenanigans see the light of day, as they will fairly quickly I suspect. Such as this $500 million. Such as a lot of the stuff Barr has pulled, including his discussions with Durham.

I wouldn't be clearing off any space on his desk for a Nobel Peace Prize if I were the Trumpster. Where would he put that belt buckle collection he has there now?

Steve Bannon criminally charged for his role in defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors in connection with an online crowdfunding campaign known as “We Build the Wall” that raised more than $25 million.

Arrested while on a Chinese billionaire's megayacht off of the shore of CT. And he is not the only one involved with the fraud, which seems to be pretty big. However seems to be standard with Trump's crew. Perhaps more people indicted convicted than any other administration, and for such a wide variety of offenses.

Get Trump out of office and he becomes indictable - probably the principle reason he seems to want to blow up the election process. A mad dash to save his skin...

What we are witnessing is a window into the corruption of Washington DC...now we know how all these "insiders of the political club" leave far more wealthy than when they entered.

But most of them are smart enough to get their money straight from the 0.1%, not run a "gofundme" page that rips off mom & pop MAGAts.

On the other hand, Trump himself specialized in ripping off the little people: the 3000 lawsuits, the Trump "charity" scam, the Trump U scam, the Mexican condo scam, etc etc etc

And so those he is attracted to, and those attracted to him are the same sort of grifters...

A New Engineering Report Finds That a Privately Built Border Wall Will Fail

It’s not a matter of if a privately built border fence along the shores of the Rio Grande will fail, it’s a matter of when, according to a new engineering report on the troubled project.

The report is one of two new studies set to be filed in federal court this week that found numerous deficiencies in the 3-mile border fence, built this year by North Dakota-based Fisher Sand and Gravel. The reports confirm earlier reporting from ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, which found that segments of the structure were in danger of overturning due to extensive erosion if not fixed and properly maintained. Fisher dismissed the concerns as normal post-construction issues.

Donations that paid for part of the border fence are at the heart of an indictment against members of the We Build the Wall nonprofit, which raised more than $25 million to help President Donald Trump build a border wall.

Former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon, We Build the Wall founder Brian Kolfage and two others connected to the organization are accused of siphoning donor money to pay off personal debt and fund lavish lifestyles. All four, who face up to 20 years in prison on each of the two counts they face, have pleaded not guilty, and Bannon has called the charges a plot to stop border wall construction.

We Build the Wall, whose executive board is made up of influential immigration hard-liners like Bannon, Kris Kobach and Tom Tancredo, contributed $1.5 million of the cost of the $42 million private border fence project south of Mission, Texas.

Instead, one engineer who reviewed the two reports on behalf of ProPublica and The Texas Tribune likened Fisher’s fence to a used Toyota Yaris.

“It seems like they are cutting corners everywhere,” said Alex Mayer, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso. “It’s not a Lamborghini, it’s a $500 used car.”

Since Fisher’s companies embarked on construction of the Rio Grande fence, the Trump administration has awarded about $2 billion in federal contracts to the firms to build segments of the border wall in other locations.

One of the largest swamps in American History.

Politicians are awful. The levels of corruption and self-serving is ridiculous. This includes Clinton Inc. And, at least in my lifetime, Trump has been above and beyond. Hands down.

Slimey Swamp Thing surfaces in Don the Con's administration...quelle suprise!!

PPM tees off on the numbnut at HHS...

HHS PROPGANDIST MICHAEL CAPUTO IS THE RAT-FORKER’S PROTÉGÉ

Caputo did not just set Stone up for a meeting with a Russian offering dirt in May 2016. He’s Stone’s protégé. Multiple Mueller 302s describe that Stone got Caputo a job with the campaign. Manafort testified that he used Caputo to keep track of what Stone was up to — a damning description given that Manafort offered more details about Stone’s foreknowledge of the Podesta emails than other known witnesses. Caputo’s own 302–which was released in February– was heavily redacted because of ongoing investigations. One thing it revealed, however, is that Caputo ran a “Project Rasputin” for Trump in 2016 that remains unexplained.

Caputo is about to be out according to MSNBC.

Not surprising. He is one weird dude.

What story?

How bout THIS STORY

Michael Caputo, the top communications official for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), sparked a firestorm this week with comments attacking scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

His comments brought to the forefront concerns over political officials interfering with scientists in order to paint a false picture on the pandemic that favors President Trump’s public narrative.

The controversy risks further undermining public health agencies and the Trump administration’s efforts to convince the public a potential coronavirus vaccine will be safe.

And what would Mr. Caputo's qualifications for this job be?

Don't take my word for it...look it up for yourself, "lolz"
