Homan recorded in bribe

[rambot]

The FBI recorded Tom Homan, the current White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash last year during an undercover investigation later dropped by the Trump administration, according to news reports.

Recorded.... that's the verb.

Oh...but Trump wanted it dropped eh?

No corruption here.
DOJ investigated Trump border czar Tom Homan for accepting $50,000 in cash: reports


Anyone on taking odds on the fbi agents getting fired?

Can't comment much on Homan because he was never prosecuted and likely for good reason. I was going to say I am surprised it did not come up at his Senate confirmation hearing. Upon checking, the czar position does not require confirmation. I would love to have an honest answer to the question: Was Homan given the czar border job so that he would be able to avoid a Senate conformation hearing? I wondered too before I ever heard of his character how such a strong pair, Noem and Homan could get along so well? This might answer that question.

Wwe do know for a fact that Trump cleared the go ahead for businessmen to bribe foriegn government officials. This action by Trump sets aside laws on the books prohibiting such bribery. The law now ignored is the Foriegn Corrupt Practices Act. Trump pauses DOJ enforcement of bribery laws for US firms overseas

Whether it is just or not should not be decided by the President. The law is on the books. Though rarely used the law usually brings in about 15 million to over a hundred million a year in fines to businesses found to have bribed foreign government officials. Often this means the foreign government also pays more. The officials are OK with that though since they pocket the bribes. To me this is questionable, though Trump does have some reasoning.

“The king establishes the land by justice, but he who receives bribes overthrows it” (Proverbs 29:4).

In recent weeks, Trump appointees officially closed the investigation

Can't beat that for a reason.

There was an apparent reason, but it isn't a good one. The bribe occurred just months before Pam Bondi became AG. It has apparently been dropped now that Homan works in the White House.

Even if there was a confirmation hearing, it would have taken a whistleblower inside DOJ/FBI for the information to get out. It was a fairly recent crime at the time.

Trump likes bribes. Years ago a cable TV news show was doing a segment about foreign bribes and for some reason they needed someone who was "pro-bribe" and they found businessman Donald Trump to make the case. Ugh.
