Swampy public utility commissions, taking Swamp bribes along with the Swampy politicians who appoint them, all for Swampy companies that get to rob from the citizens for pennies on the dollar...
So do you think the Swamp drafted the laws for these nonprofit corporations to allow the concealment of bribes to politicians through corporate shell companies registered as 501)c)(4)s?
It was a feature, not a bug.
Ht @nimkef
@nimkef This is how you drain the Swamp. You cut off the sources & flows of corrupt money into the Swamp. You don't spearfish individual Swamp creatures. You dam the rivers & pick them up out of the mud when it dries out.
FirstEnergy admitting this, gave every FBI agent probable cause...
Untold affidavits will be sworn stating "...probable cause based upon information & belief that 501(c)(4)s are a mechanism used to conceal payments to govt. officials for the purpose of influencing the legislative process..."
The Swamp is not sleeping well tonight!
FirstEnergy flipped against the guys who made corrupt deals with Lex Wexner, the guy who signed over power of attorney to Epstein.
@Academy911 The Swamp creatures spent years telling everyone they were shaking down for bribes taht the 501(c)(4)s were secret & could never be exposed, but FBI had them under surveillance while they did it! wtol.com/article/news/s…
@Academy911 Clark decided (or someone else decided?) to commit suicide before going to trial.
But the FBI had the reciepts, including using suspected undercover FBI agents posing as sports betting clients to 'lobby' for them.
@Academy911 Want to guess how the FBI got probable cause to go after FirstEnergy's lobbyists?
I bet their failed efforts to get a bailout from the Trump Admin were a likely source of information...
The Swamp really believed Trump & the FBI weren't on the same team! energyandpolicy.org/firstenergy-lo…
The Swamp's top earning lobbying firm unsuccessfully lobbied the Trump team for a bail out. A scheme Trump 'claimed' to support, but which promptly died after the sting had what it needed...
Isn't it a conflict of interest to be both the lobbyist & legal counsel for this?
We may have to look at every effort to use the Defense Production Act as a sting against the Swampy lobbyists.
Another case of Trump saying something in public, but then not going along with official actions to accomplish it. Have to convince the lobbyists they are winning!
The RNC Finance Committee...
Wonder when they will realize letting Trump's FBI asset fixer @MichaelCohen212 join that team was a mistake of epic proportions?
🤣😂🤣😂
@MichaelCohen212 Trump sent it to Energy Secretary Rick Perry, wonder if he was part of or a target of, the sting...
Looks like they lobbied, Pence & Congress too.
Had some Swampy success with Congress apparently...
@MichaelCohen212 Interesting, former Speaker Householder cut a deal to keep Les Wexner on the board at OSU & then OSU is sending letters to the Feds to help FirstEnergy, while FirstEnergy is paying Householder through his 501(c)(4)...
@MichaelCohen212 Looks like 20 Congressional Swamp members got on the FirstEnergy bail out bandwagon.
Want to bet you don't recognize most of the names? Why, because most of the real Swamp creatures aren't the names everyone knows...
Except this time, there are a few names you will recognize but the only headliner is Mitch McConnell.
But 1 MAGA favorite, Jim Jordan is on board too...
FirstEnergy also brough in the Dewey Square Group a PR & Fake News outfit to engineer support for this bailout.
They use the term "grassroots mobilization" to describe how they dupe people with fake news to take sides on a political issue to favor their corporate clients.
DSG “has been paid by General Motors Corp., the American Insurance Association, AT&T Corp., Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and Microsoft, among others, to drum up support from voters for legislation the companies advocate.”
Drum up support, by paying for Cletuses...
It looks like they may have even pushed out the former Speaker Cliff Rosenberger with an alleged FBI investigation, let a real Swamp creature in Householder take the job with a narrow majority in a bipartisan Swamp vote.
But Householder played hard to get after the resignation, leaving the entire Ohio house in disarray until he came forward to take the Swampy reins.
Wonder if it drove up his price...
Now I have no clue if Rosenberger is guilty or not, he was investigated for dealins with some of the pay day loans lobbyists that others have been indicted for...
Was he set up & FBI didn't have anything to charge him with? Or did he flip real early...
This covers some history on Householder & his very unusual election as Ohio Speaker of the House with an equal number of Democratic & Republican votes.
The Swamp is the most bipartisan thing in America!
How long before people realize that Trump sets up cases to get precedents set in court?
Once the exact parameters & processes for using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 are confirmed deporting Tren de Aragua, how long does Trump wait to use it on China's 1000 Talents spy program?
It would be very easy to prove in court by the precedents set at this time that the 1000 Talents program is a predatory incursion against the United States by the Chinese government.
Let's look at how President Trump tricked Putin into a far greater Russian defeat in Ukraine!
Trump learned the Rope-A-Dope from his friend Mohammed Ali!
Please excuse my poor 'artwork' replacing Ali & Fraser with Trump & Putin!
#ButNothingsHappening
Rope-a-dope is a boxing technique in which one contender leans against the ropes of the ring & draws non-injuring offensive punches, letting the opponent tire themself out. This gives the former the opportunity then to execute devastating offensive punches to help them win.
So while Putin & his fake news brag about Russia having Ukraine on the ropes, he is wasting what little is left of Russia's military, economy, & manpower to make ineffective attacks on wheat fields in the middle of nowhere.
While Ukraine's counterpunches are crushing Russia.
Edwin Pagan III was indicted in November based upon the OIG investigation.
Now David Macey has been indicted too & the charges agains Pagan have been expanded.
It started as 'tell me who is getting indicted so I can get them to hire me as their lawyer."
Became warn the cartels...
The unsealed indictment is available here:
I don't know why they don't name the 2 DEA agents as they have also been indicted in early cases based on the DOJ OIG investigation. justice.gov/d9/2025-02/u.s…
If you follow the fake news, you won't understand what
this means.
China is controlling rare earth minerals markets by buying Swamp creatures around the world to get mining rights & then not mine the minerals in places like Greenland & Ukraine.
Why? Because the Clinton Admin through the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission sold those mining rights 30 years ago to oligarchs.
For Ukraine to resell the rights to the US, they must first prove that the sales to Clinton & Putin's oligarchs were corrupt!
