Benny Johnson took money to post Russian propaganda but didn’t register under FARA. That’s a felony under federal law. And there’s the head of the DOJ right next to him but not doing anything about it…

Even after being found guilty of 'officer misconduct' for mishandling the Robodebt referral, Commissioner of the NACC continues consultancy role despite concerns of perceived conflicts of interest.

At $820k/year surely he can focus on doing one job well?

Hilarious!
The post on X by Trump about directing Pam Bondi to prosecute James Comey, was supposed to be a DM!
