This looks pretty damning to Homan and the administration. Have to see where this goes, there are calls for a congressional investigation, I am very curious to see what else comes out about this.

"The Justice Department has shut down its probe into allegations Trump border czar Tom Homan accepted a Cava restaurant bag containing a $50,000 cash bribe last year. The alleged payment to Homan was made as part of a sting by undercover FBI agents during the Biden administration in September, with the G-men presenting themselves as businessmen seeking border security contracts with the federal government...

Once the new Trump administration was in place, the DOJ closed down the investigation, citing doubts about whether prosecutors could prove Homan promised specific actions in exchange for the cash, and the fact that he was not a federal employee at the time."

Hillary Clinton commented, "$50,000?  I never answered Clinton Foundation calls for less than $250,000!"

All just allegations from unnamed sources.

The usual modus operandi.

Nice try.

In the meantime, let’s shoot up an ICE facility, killing some hapless detainees, doh!

it's cool that a cop doesn't think someone is is innocent until proven guilty...

Perfectly consistent hypocrisy in all things is a sure marker …

… but it’s our very own EEF, so we should appreciate him for hanging out.

"looks damning". Hahahhaha.

OP being fooled again by the fake news.

Lets play this out, if this truly was a sting, they would have arrested him shortly after.  Knowing that Brandon and his people might not be in office soon.

It also would have been front page news as an "insider" would have leaked the info and the fake news would run with it, damaging Trumps election. Then social media would have taken over and liberals would do what they do.

I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that this is a witch hunt.  They've tried everything to go after Trump and wasn't successful, so they're going after his people again.

Well said.

Did he take that money or not.  So far only Karoline Leavitt claimed he never took the money in the first place.

Nobody else said he never took it.  So did he?  What was it for if he did?  For Vegas?

Maybe the corrupt DOJ took it and is blaming him.

What if he took the money as evidence and reported the attempted bribery to the Feds?

In that context, he would not be considered to have received a bribe, because he never intended to reciprocate and he didn't keep the cash.

Since the facts are sparse and incomplete, the article is just an attack piece. 

All just allegations from unnamed sources.

People who go to the media to report wrongdoing by government officials often don't publicize their names so an unnamed source in a news story isn't indicative of anything. By the way, unnamed doesn't mean unknown to the reporters, good journalists vet their sources and their bosses are part of that whole process because not doing so opens up the whole company to lawsuits and loss of reputation.

Imagine you were an agent involved in the case, if you witnessed the bribery and the coverup would you publicly announce what you saw risking firing, criminal charges, and maybe even your safety?

Instead of being in a rush to find an excuse to disbelieve a report, why not keep an open mind? It's not like there are never dirty heads of law enforcement agencies...

So basically you made up your mind, no interest in the truth.

You know this because of your years of experience in law enforcement? You know this to be true despite it being common practice for the feds to take years to build their cases?

Give him the benefit of the doubt then, but why not investigate further? Unless of course you don't care about the truth...

In that context, he would not be considered to have received a bribe, because he never intended to reciprocate and he didn't keep the cash.

Since the facts are sparse and incomplete, the article is just an attack piece.

Then there would be a record of him turning in $50,000 and making a police report. Then the Trump administration would have presented it instead of the defense they are going with.

The article isn't an attack piece, it is reporting on the allegations.

So basically you made up your mind, no interest in the truth.

Correct. Finding out that 50% of democrats are ok with political assassinations really put things into perspective.

We should take care of the house fire first, and when that’s settled we can call work on pest control.

Assuming there’s anything left, of course.

Proof of that number? I know of bad numbers on violence and speech on the left from the group FIRE but they are much lower than that and they didn't talk about assassinations.

Is Tom Homan the only one capable of doing the job? If not then you don't have to decide between fighting a fire and fighting pests. These allegations are serious for someone in such a powerful position of law enforcement, why not look into them seriously?

Rasmussen. And this was last year.

https://mustreadalaska.com/poll-28-of-democrats-say-america-would-have-been-better-off-if-trump-had-been-assassinated/

That figure includes 28% of Democrats who say that America would have been better off if Trump had been assassinated. Another 24% of Democrats were not sure. Fewer than half (48%) of Democrats could bring themselves to say that America would not be better off if the opposing party’s candidate for president had been assassinated.

So no. Don’t care.

I was promised authoritarianism. Let’s a get this show on the road.

A purge of woke military brass is a great place to start.

please show me where it was not looked into seriously...

funny how you call someone out about not being in law enforcement, but won't admit that you are law enforcement...

Ok, well this is for you Mr. Fish:  FBI had 274 undercover agents on J6, and this is the upshot of the after action report.  Filthy agency under Biden & Wray - this is why minds are rather reasonably closed to accepting what they said at face value.  Just drop this facade that the agency was not run as the federal LE of The Party^TM

“The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four years.”

Lots of assumptions about a media known as the fake news.
