Reacting to a bombshell report from the Washington Post that Department of Justice investigators were looking into an attempt by the government of Egypt to funnel $10 million in cash into Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign ...

I wish I could say this is totally unbelievable but it's not. Barr and Trump should both be in prison.

From the title I originally thought on a whim that Bill Barr was a comedian.

Upon reading the article, it is a tragedy, not a comedy of how the AG office fell from integrity in 2016/2017 and seemingly thereafter within that time period of former POTUS's tenure.

Most corrupt administration in history. Trump is probably very, very proud.

Cash?!? Those Egyptian guys are alright, even for being Muslim and all. Somebody got a taste.

And this is hard-working American's taxpayer dollars being boomeranged back at us to help #45 and the GOP.

Just out of curiosity because I know this case is well past its sell-by date in court and Bill Barr will never be required to testify under oath . . .

What did Egypt get from #45 for their $10 million dollars?

The article didn't say.

TWINPAC:

This excerpt is from a 2020 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report on Egypt:

"Although the [Trump] Administration has refrained from publicly rebuking the Sisi regime
over its human rights record, several issues have caused tensions in US-Egyptian relations,
including Egypt's continued detention of American citizens and the Egyptian military's possible
purchase of advanced Russian fighter jets."

This reads like al-Sisi was buying #45's silence. Research will show that in his four years in the White House, #45 did not criticize al-Sisi or the human rights abuses conducted by this Pharoah and his security services.

Grift and dictatorships go hand in hand, just look at how rich Putin and his oligarch caste are.
