Vance: New Justice Dept. Fraud Post to Be 'Run Out of the White House'

The assertion was a brazen effort to toss out the traditional boundaries that have long existed between the White House and investigations conducted by federal law enforcement.

Blatant politicization of DOJ powers.

"The assistant attorney general will not work out of the Justice Department, the vice president said. Instead, the position will be run out of the White House and overseen by President Trump and Vance, he said."[image or embed]

All this talk about 'fraud' and no talk about indictments and convictions. Why is the Trump Administration allowing fraudsters to walk free? Can't they bring these criminals to justice? Or is it that there are far fewer committing acts of fraud than claimed?

At this point, any rational, intelligent person understands that we are under the "rule" of an Executive Branch run by a criminal. Nothing he says is trustworthy, nothing he does can be seen as good for the country. It is an accident if he does something that is useful to all, for he is in it for the grift, and he and his family have made billions, billions, on influence peddling alone.
If it looks like he will lose the midterms he will either declare Martial Law and try to stop the elections, or he will resign to let his toy poodle, Vance, pardon him and his gang from anything and everything, whenever.

The "Fraud" dept has been operating out of the White House since Trump moved back in.

Got to be close to the action.

So, in other words, the Administration's "fraud task force" is designing itself to be a political hit squad aimed at Democrats and other people who Trump does not like.
