In the interests of national security, it was the FBI’s duty to investigate credible evidence suggesting the future president may have been compromised.
The great business mind and actions of a Stable Genius: "But, before you feel sorry for the vendors, you have to remember that this is not Trump’s first dance. He has been stiffing vendors for years and years, and those doing business with him should certainly know that they could well be next. And now the future of Trump's less than a year-old Truth Social is questionable. It is facing huge financial losses and shorting its vendors as Trump faces continued legal controversies and runs this business into the ground, as he has done with other ventures throughout his career."

Of COURSE it will fail, unless someone with actual deep pockets comes in to save it.
Trump has had a string of non-real estate businesses fail...anything that Daddy didn't gift him has been an abject failure, from Trump University to vodka to water to steaks to a board game to a travel site to a magazine to a communications company to his airline, and on and on and on. Failure after failure after failure.
He is worth less than what he would have been worth had he just taken the money Daddy gave him and put it into the stock market. And THAT is with stiffing people and stealing money with The Trump Foundation (that had to be dissolved because it was so fraudulent).

In early August, the Israeli army conducted a three-day bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip, killing at least 49 Palestinians. Families across Gaza have come to expect these air raids, building out war-time rituals: backpacks on the ready filled with practical essentials, quick dashes to the bakery for supplies, parents moving their children to the safest room in the home. This latest bombing campaign is over, but the siege of Gaza remains, along with the systems of control that maintain it. The army’s surveillance apparatus measures out the costs of calculated civilian deaths, and a convoluted system of Israeli and Egyptian checkpoints controls and humiliates the few who are permitted to enter and exit. Days after the bombing campaign, the Israeli army raided the premises of seven leading Palestinian civil society organizations in the West Bank, welding doors shut and declaring their offices closed. The raid is in some ways an admission of failure -- after European governments balked at Israel’s attempts to convince them to defund the organizations over false allegations of terrorism, the Israeli government resorted to military violence. The raid was met with wall-to-wall condemnation from human rights supporters worldwide. But Israeli officials have only intensified their assault on Palestinian civil society in the weeks since. Just as those in power commit crimes and shirk responsibility -- as in the case of the Israeli army's killing of Shireen Abu Akleh -- those organizing at the grassroots are determined in their rejection of the status quo. In army enlistment centers, some Israeli teens choose imprisonment over military service to protest the occupation and a regime of apartheid. Inside Israeli detention centers, Palestinian prisoners are waging hunger strikes to challenge Israel's system of administrative detention, in which Palestinians are held without charge or trial. In Tel Aviv, activists are establishing new sites for community-building and solidarity. And all over Israel-Palestine, Palestinians are making daily choices that erase the Green Line and challenge divisions imposed on them.

Relevance to DJT?
Maybe -- Ivanka is Jewish and she must therefore be responsible for such crimes against Palestinians? Or, DJT must be responsible for the crimes because his Jewish daughter will be his VP teammate in 2024?

Relevance to DJT?
Extreme relevance to the American taxpayer as the MSM buries this and we are funding it.
Were I to start a thread on this, it would be taken down.
Maybe -- Ivanka is Jewish and she must therefore be responsible for such crimes against Palestinians? Or, DJT must be responsible for the crimes because his Jewish daughter will be his VP teammate in 2024?
Ignorant of Jared Kushner's role in Trump admin and in Israel?

Reminds me of Hillary and Travelgate...but Flagpole glosses right over that.
In 1993, Bill Clinton – and, by extension, Hillary Clinton – inherited what could charitably be called a mess in the White House travel office, which was in charge of booking travel and accommodations for the White House press corps and charging media outlets for the trips. Billy Dale had led the office since 1982 and used a handwritten ledger to record his estimates of the cost of travel and telecommunications services used by the traveling press corps as well as payments, credits and refunds from providers. He did not use a competitive bidding process when choosing providers and, most problematically, he started depositing refunds issued by service providers – intended for disbursement to the media companies – into his own personal account in 1988 to cover the cost of what are euphemistically called facilitation payments to foreign airport and hotel employees. The full extent of the problems was not known when Clinton took office; however, the press corps had been complaining about the soaring costs of covering the president. Just before Clinton took office, Catherine Cornelius, a distant cousin of Clinton’s who had arranged travel during the 1992 campaign, proposed outsourcing the White House travel office to World Wide Travel Inc, the Little Rock firm with which she had worked during the campaign. David Watkins, the campaign staffer who took charge of such matters in the administration, attended some meetings and eventually hired Cornelius, who wrote memos suggesting they could save more than $200,000 by outsourcing. Meanwhile, Hollywood producer Harry Thomason, a longtime Clinton friend who had a financial interest in an air consulting firm (which had worked with the Clinton campaign), a White House pass and an office in the White House’s East Wing, offered his advice on events. He and his business partner in the airline firm, Darnell Martens, soon discovered that Dale did not use a competitive bidding process to book flights, and let Hillary Clinton and others in the White House know.
After KPMG conducted an audit and found discrepancies – including $18,200 in petty cash unaccounted for – the staff of the travel office was fired by Watkins and the White House announced that the FBI was investigating. Eventually, Dale was charged with embezzlement, tried and acquitted. Claims were made that the FBI investigation was instigated in bad faith to justify the firings (which came after), Watkins himself was fired (in 1994) for misusing a chartered helicopter for a golf trip and a memo he wrote blaming Hillary Clinton for demanding the firings surfaced during the Whitewater investigation (because everything surfaced during the Whitewater investigation). But the third Whitewater investigator – yes, there were three – looking into whether the staffers were fired so they could be replaced with employees the Clintons preferred found no evidence that proved beyond a doubt that Hillary Clinton had any direct role in the firings or that anything had been covered up, long after the Clintons found five of the fired staffers other government jobs and a sixth was allowed to retire. The office’s functions, in the end, were put out for a competitive bidding process; costs continued to go up. Vince Foster’s suicide Vince Foster served as deputy counsel to the president in 1993, and was seeking a private attorney at the time of his death because of his involvement in the Travelgate scandal. His sister, breaking more than 20 years of silence, wrote this week in the Washington Post that her brother had called her shortly before his death to tell her that he was severely depressed but concerned that seeking help would affect his security clearance. (Until changes in 1995, 2008 and 2013, it was believed, not without reason, that acknowledging treatment for mental health could affect one’s ability to get or maintain a security clearance.)
