  • Another Trump investigation fizzles right after election

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 17 20:22:47 2022
    This is getting to be an ever repeating story.

    Federal agents and prosecutors have come to believe former president Donald Trump’s motive for allegedly taking and keeping classified documents was largely his ego and a desire to hold on to the materials as trophies or mementos, according to people
    familiar with the matter.

    That review has not found any apparent business advantage to the types of classified information in Trump’s possession, these people said. FBI interviews with witnesses so far, they said, also do not point to any nefarious effort by Trump to leverage,
    sell or use the government secrets. Instead, the former president seemed motivated by a more basic desire not to give up what he believed was his property, these people said.

    The people familiar with the matter cautioned that the investigation is ongoing, that no final determinations have been made, and that it is possible additional information could emerge that changes investigators’ understanding of Trump’s motivations.
    But they said the evidence collected over a period of months indicates the primary explanation for potentially criminal conduct was Trump’s ego and intransigence.
    (end quotes)

    The investigation will remain ongoing so the FBI and DoJ will never have to answer questions about WTF were they thinking?
    Can't discuss ongoing investigations. Wanna bet Joe and his connections to Hunter's cash flow will become the focus of an "ongoing investigation" that will remain open until 2024 election is in the books.

    That's still not good and still illegal. But there was plenty of
    emolumenting going on if you want to see Trump venality:

    I call it The Biden Organization.
    Instead of 'towers', the Biden Organization gets Board seats on foreign corporations.
    and gets paintings desplayed in and sold by The Biden Gallery

    The "big guy" email can't be verified.

    "Some other emails on the drive that have been the foundation for
    previous news reports could not be verified because the messages lacked verifiable cryptographic signatures. One such email was widely described
    as referring to Joe Biden as “the big guy” and suggesting the elder
    Biden would receive a cut of a business deal."

    But it was on Hunter's hard drive, crypto sig or not
    Please explain how it got there.
