Tick, Tick, Tick
The FBI arrested Thomas Barrack today, who is a 30-year ally of Trump and chairman of his inaugural committee. They got him on lobbying for the UAE without reporting it, then lying to the FBI about it. The cover up is always worse than the original crime. Apparently the indictment is well documented and damning. They’ve got Trump on tape repeating Barrack’s rewrite of his speech about stopping Middle East terrorism (which was just a cover for filling Barrack’s pockets).
This one is going to be good, and signals that the DOJ is getting closer and closer to His Orangeness.
I also read today that the investigation into possibly fraudulent money in the trumpf inauguration uncovered evidence that led them to the current case against barrack. Let’s hope that fraud investigation also results in indictments. And even better, he who said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it, won’t get away with it.
1This could explain why they didn’t charge Wilbur Ross for lying to Congress – they’re after bigger game.
2Another name for the RICO prosecutors.
