France’s far-right chief faces corruption investigation.
The Paris prosecutors’ office opened an investigation into the campaign financing of far-right leader Marine Le Pen’s presidential bid in 2022.
The probe, which follows a preliminary inquiry, was opened last week over suspicions of embezzlement, forgery, fraud and a candidate on an election campaign accepting a loan, the Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed to POLITICO.
In 2022, Le Pen — then making her third attempt to win the French presidency as National Rally leader — got 41 percent of the vote in the second round, losing to incumbent President Emmanuel Macron.
Fun fact: the US Marine Corps earned the nickname “devil dogs” from the Germans for their actions on D-day.
I say this because Le Pen’s name is appropriate given this further evidence of how she is a demonic bitch.
Meet one of the original devil dogs. He virtually, single handedly, defeated fascism in 1933. Of course it isn’t in history books, because the rich control the news.
“…a n organized conspiracy to overthrow the US government but it was not one hatched by a secretive Moscow-directed Communist cell. HUAC’s initial alarm was focused on a plot bankrolled by the owners of major US corporations — including Goodyear, US Steel, JP Morgan, Heinz, and Maxwell House.”
Holy shit! They tried to get Smedley “I could teach Al Capone a thing or two,” Butler to lead the business plot‽‽‽
I’m dying laughing, imagining how that exchange went down.
“You want me to what‽‽‽ Get your ass over here, cause I’m gonna kick it into the ICU!”
“Devil Dogs” dates back to WWI, it’s nothing to do with D-Day.
They earned that nickname in the battle of Bellau Wood in WWI.
They famously were quoted as saying, “Retreat? Hell, we just got here!”
Here’s a fun retelling of Dan Daly and the Devil Dogs
