I've known this guy a long time. He was never the sharpest bulb. Take the guns first, go through due process second. The colonial army ...ranned the ramparts. It took over the airports. I have the best words. —Tr☭mp

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see. We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas. We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

"The Department of the Treasury announced this week that it would destroy the government’s registry of shell-company ownership. This is an anti-corruption database that Treasury is by law *required* to maintain." A little under the radar, very lawless.
Trump’s Gift to the Money Launderers
Treasury isn’t merely shutting down an anti-corruption database. It’s deleting the data so future investigators can’t use it.
