In Jonathan Karl’s new book Betrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, he wrote,

“According to two senior campaign officials, after the eighth person tested positive, two of them with the Secret Service, word came down from the campaign leadership: STOP TESTING.”

Who was in charge of the White House Medical Unit in Tulsa at that time? Who was in charge of making sure Federal, state and local public health laws and emergency orders were followed?

The lawsuit alleges as much as $35 million in “unlawful” and “unreported in-kind campaign contributions” went toward a scheme that goes back as early as 2014, with $25 million allegedly going toward Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. 

NRA ran shell companies to illegally fund Trump and other Republicans, Giffords group alleges in suit Washington Post 11/3/2021

This is an important development, because it shows what can be done when one of the institutions that is supposed to keep the blatant corruption in check, fails to act. I’m a big fan of civil lawsuits because in America money is power. And when you get in the way . . . → Read More: FEC failed, so Giffords sues NRA directly
