President Trump has made $4 billion by illegally trading access to the White House to get rich. He controls the Dept of Justice and the Congress so he won't be held accountable - until he doesn't control the Dept of Justice and Congress.
Trump’s Profiteering Hits $4 Billion
In August, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned.

The “paranoid delusions” of Democrats that this regime would slide quickly into fascist tyranny have been proven prescient. They are coming for our elections now. The “investigation” will be a show. This is dictatorship congealing in our time.

"The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy... Our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
The President & current admin officials seem eager to escalate the situation while offering public explanations.. that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence."

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)
Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.
Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.
ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?
