"<Justice Dept> knew the case was flawed." Of course they knew. A 4-yr-old or a squirrel needing glasses would know it was flawed. More than flawed, it was a flagrant mess of made up craziness in order to blame someone for tr**p admin's own mistakes. As always.

Banks don't do this because of political reasons, they do this to protect themselves from losing their banking license. This happened 2 months after the January 6th insurrection, and we are only learning this now because of Capitol One filing to dismiss Trump's lawsuit against them.
Trump accounts were closed in 2021 due to concerns over possible money laundering, Capital One says
Capital One closed President Donald Trump’s accounts in mid-2021 after flagging financial activity that resembled money laundering.

Now American farmers are in trouble and Americans are sick.

Watercolour taught me that what you leave out matters just as much as what you paint, and this is challenging because of the temptation to keep fiddling.
