Trump’s postelection fundraising comes under scrutiny by DOJ
Seattle Times, Sep 8, 2022, NY Times

A federal grand jury in Washington is examining the formation of — and spending by — a fundraising operation created by Donald Trump after his loss in the 2020 election as he was soliciting millions of dollars by baselessly asserting that the results had been marred by widespread voting fraud.

According to subpoenas issued by the grand jury, the contents of which were described to The New York Times, the Justice Department is interested in the inner workings of Save America PAC, Trump’s main fundraising vehicle after the election. Several similar subpoenas were sent Wednesday to junior and midlevel aides who worked in the White House and for Trump’s presidential campaign.

The fact that federal prosecutors are now seeking information about the fundraising operation is a significant new turn in an already sprawling criminal investigation into the roles that Trump and some of his allies played in trying to overturn the election, an array of efforts that culminated with the mob attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The expanded Jan. 6 inquiry is playing out even as Trump is also under federal investigation on an entirely different front: his decision to hold onto hundreds of government documents marked as classified when he left office and his failure to comply with efforts by the National Archives and the Justice Department to compel their return.
On Thursday, the Justice Department asked a federal judge to revisit her decision to temporarily stop prosecutors from gaining access to the classified documents for use in that investigation.

The new subpoenas related to Trump’s fundraising vehicle did not make clear what possible crime or crimes the Justice Department might be investigating. The House select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol and what led to it has also been examining Trump’s fundraising operation and has raised questions about whether it had duped donors through misleading appeals about election fraud.

Another illegal leak by the DOJ.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

They really don’t want him to be president. What are they afraid of?

1/Why is the DOJ leaking grand jury materials to the press and opening up contrived investigations into protected First Amendment activity? (Peaceful rally, alternate electors, Save America PAC fundraising)? Dems know the J6 Congressional hearing kangaroo court is about to end…

2/ And they are stirring the pot & trying to avoid talking about Biden, Harris failures, open borders, inflation, high energy prices, drug addiction, national angst and malaise, and America’s sinking stature in the world. Pick some enemies and punish them, any pretext will do.

Whatever Trump does is always under scrutiny while the liberal nut cases get a free pass.

I would love nothing more than to see Trump re-elected again. Leftist's heads would be spinning everywhere. I still envision Wolf Blitzer in a frenzy on election night trying to find a way on the electoral maps for Hillary to win and he just couldn't.  :silly:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It would be neat, if for no other reason than to watch the Democrats and the Left (and some other swamp critters) collectively load their skivvies.

I, and I am sure many other Americans, am sick of being browbeaten with lies and slandered by ever flapping set of lips from the View to the White House, and the very best 'payback' would be to see them all crap themselves.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
