    Trump was bribed $10 million by Egyptian dictator in Jan 2017.
    • Obama blocks $1.5 billion in military aid to Egypt after a coup by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
    • Egypt's intelligence agency withdraws $10 million in American $100 bills days after Trump is sworn in.
    • CIA learns Egypt signed off on giving Trump $10 million, sends info to DOJ
    • Trump restores aid to Egypt, calls Sisi his favorite dictator.
    • Bill Barr squashes DOJ investigation.

    Whether or not true, pretty insane campaign finance violation has a 5 year limitation when the person committing the crime might be able to stall for 4-8 years if they win the presidency.

    The fact that Trump's criming - particularly when it's corruption based criming - is just shrugged off by most of our institutions now (with the exception of NY Cty DA and a few others) is an absolute direct and proximate result of

    John Roberts
    Clarence Thomas
    Samuel Alito
    Abraham Gorsuch
    Brett Kavanaugh
    Amy Barrett

    Every single time Trump has done something obviously corrupt, unethical and criminal - from Emoluments all the way up to the newly-invented "Presidential Immunity" trash heap, to the littler things like strategically timed delays and intervention in Trump's multiple criminal cases...

    They - these 6 Americans - lifetime appointees who mostly treat the rest of us with utter contempt as if we're their servants rather than vice versa..

    ...have been more responsible than any other body in the last few years for sanctioning/blessing/excusing any and all a actions by Trump to evade accountability, no matter how vile or unethical or obviously corrupt

    We shouldn't forget how responsible they are. Our guardrails for Trump and corruption are **** - because they helped destroy them. Willingly.

    That's **** he accused Biden of.

    Donny loves projecting crimes he's perfected onto his enemies

    It's insane that this thread only has five posts. This is like an Iran-Contra level scandal.

    I think probably cause its hard to judge its credibility. If there was a cover-up, it worked because we're not sure whether to be outraged.

    House launched an investigation in response to recent reporting on
    into whether Egyptian President Abdel Fatah el-Sisi gave former U.S. President Donald Trump $10 million to illegally help his 2016 campaign.

    In addition to generating suspicion about a cash bribe from el-Sisi, House members Raskin and Garcia wrote to Trump,

    "this detailed news report has also triggered serious speculation that your handpicked political appointees at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), including AG William Barr,
    subsequently blocked efforts by career prosecutors and agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate the political and financial corruption that has been described."

    "Surely you would agree that the American people deserve to know whether a former president—and a current candidate for president—took an illegal campaign contribution from a brutal foreign dictator,"
