Top federal prosecutor threatens payback for investigations into whether Trump’s $400 million ballroom donors are getting anything in return from the administration
A top federal prosecutor appointed by Donald Trump is threatening “significant legal consequences” over a senator’s investigation into the president’s White House ballroom — and whether donors are getting anything from the government in return.
Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal is calling the threat against him “just the latest in a series of unlawful actions” from the Trump administration in its attempts to “intimidate” members of Congress, with investigations into the president and his allies expected to accelerate after midterm elections victories.
“Your implied threat of an investigation is baseless,” Blumenthal fired back in his letter to U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz. “I will not be intimidated.”
A prosecutor threatening legal action needs to be taken seriously. And doing it for political reasons should be grounds for immediate termination in any sane world
… and I so hope we’re getting back to a sane world
Also if their name isn’t Ned.
Fixed. I don’t understand where some of autocorrect’s quirks come from. I do not know any Ned’s and have never intentionally written about one…… and it added the added apostrophe again?
well great now my comment looks incredibly weird lol
Yeah, sorry. I should have put an edit note to be clear, but I was hoping my edit was soon enough. Now going back to add it would just be weird.
Ok here’s a weirdness freebie so you can pay me back ……
My glasses have these little magnetic dots to hold “click on” sunglasses or driving glasses. They’re very convenient, when I can find the shades. But more recently I’ve been wondering what people think……. Sure enough, I recently got asked if they were pervert glasses. Nope, “nerd glasses”
