"The FBI has told Citibank that recipients of EPA climate grants are being considered as potentially liable for fraud. That is, the Trump administration wants to criminalize work on climate science and impacts," the @capitolhunters account wrote Wednesday on X.
I love the spin that Trump wants to criminalize work on climate science. The amount of fraud and theft that was done under the roof of climate change will be shown to be astronomical. The amount of tax payer money that was stolen is definitely criminal.

This story is more evidence of Trump's clinical insanity.
As if more evidence was needed.

Hey, if there was no fraud ,like you say, what are you worried about? You should welcome this so if no wrongdoing is found you can say I told you so. Dems are so against this time of investigation because they know it exposes them as the thieves.

Maybe if you are looking at ExxonMobil.
In the 70s Exxon scientists concluded global warming was real. news.harvard.edu
It's weird how you refuse to accept that both the Capitalist companies and the government are telling the truth.
You can't handle the truth.

Let's ignore the fact that you voted for a criminal and none of Trump's crimes matter to you.
What proof do you have to substantiate your conspiracies of fraud and criminality?
Or is "guilty until proven innocent" the MAGA motto?

That's like saying, if you didn't commit any crimes, you have nothing to worry about from the police. For example, what crime did Amadou Diallo commit? Should he have been worried about the cops?
We understand that you want a police state.
I'm curious if you explain why you think a police state is better than freedom.
I don't think you can, but maybe you can suprise us.

#6 "Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is facing condemnation from conservatives after she appeared on MSNBC to defend a $2 billion initiative under the Biden administration's EPA to purchase green energy appliances for Americans.
"Stacey Abrams linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion in tax dollars in 2024 after reporting just $100 in revenue the year before. They were so unqualified that the grant agreement required the NGO to complete How to Develop a Budget' training within 90 days,"
I think this is worth investigating. Again if nothing was done wrong at least we will know.

Nobody claimed Trump supporters are smart.
As a matter of fact, Trump referred to his own followers as the "poorly educated", and his voters go out of their way to prove him correct. Everyday!

Hey, if there was no fraud ,like you say, what are you worried about? Define fraud. Where is all this "fraud"? Fraud is a crime. How much have you found? Who is getting charged? When will the prosecutions begin? Also how much have you actually found? Now compare that to the harm you are causing. Then STFU.
..
We can see exactly who the "thieves" are. They are the ones who are trying to steal our democracy right out from under us.
Now. Who will investigate these so called "investigators"?

"I think this is worth investigating."
Worth how much in taxpayer money, to find fraud, stating from zero evidence of fraud?
How much should we be spending? Is one $400,000 Trump Presidential Salary enough, or should we spend one $25,000,000 Trump Super Bowl Trip?
You don't think before you speak. Or after, for that matter.

You voted for Trump. The failure. Criminal. Rapist. Voted worst president in United States history. Worse than Biden.
His greatest accomplishments were destroying the economy during his first presidency and killing nearly 1 million Americans due to politicizing Covid.

In the waning days of the Biden administration Biden's auto pen doled out hundreds of billions of dollars. No oversight. Example:Stacy Abrams got 2 billion dollars to study how to improve energy efficiency in a town of 90 homes.

@#41 ... A Biden EPA official likened it to dumping gold bars off the Titanic. ...
... U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin notified National Clean Investment Fund and Clean Communities Investment Accelerator recipients of the termination of their grant agreements under the Biden-Harris Administration's $20 billion "gold bar" scheme. This termination is based on substantial concerns regarding the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) program integrity, the award process, programmatic fraud, waste, and abuse, and misalignment with agency's priorities, which collectively undermine the fundamental goals and statutory objectives of the award. "The days of throwing gold bars off the Titanic' are over. The well documented incidents of misconduct, conflicts of interest, and potential fraud raise significant concerns and pose unacceptable risk. I have taken action to terminate these grants riddled with self-dealing and wasteful spending. EPA will be an exceptional steward of taxpayer dollars dedicated to our core mission of protecting human health and the environment, not a frivolous spender in the name of climate equity,'" said EPA Administrator Zeldin. ...

Not afraid of anything, but after FBI manpower is cut to the bone, with Dotard spreading that Trump Gaza video, and causing hate and discontent around the world, America is more than ever a target for terrorism both foreign and domestic since after the Jan 6th pardons the MAGAt brownshirts feel even less bound by the law. I'd rather those FBI man hours be spent on counter terrorism efforts, or investigating pedophiles like Xtian pastors, Combover Quisling, and his friends and cabinet members.

JFC Habitat for Humanity has been helping the poor and low-income seniors SAVE MONEY under this program, replacing old windows, installing better, more efficient heating and cooling systems, etc. Combover Quisling is pissed at Habitat for Humanity because Jimmy Carter said he wanted to stay alive long enough to vote for Kamala. What a thin-skinned little bitch and what an incredible waste of FBI time and tax payer dollars in order to menace a charity that has done so much good work for so long because the Reichwing judges on SCOTUS gave their consent for a paranoid, dementia-addled fool to use the DOJ personally to pursue his perceived enemies.
