Trump and Egypt Cashola

I hope Cormer looks into this!

“Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash

Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019. The discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified U.S. intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign, a Washington Post investigation has found

Since receiving the intelligence about Sisi, the Justice Department had been examining whether money moved from Cairo to Trump, potentially violating federal law that bans U.S. candidates from taking foreign funds. Investigators had also sought to learn if money from Sisi might have factored into Trump’s decision in the final days of his run for the White House to inject his campaign with $10 million of his own money.

Within months of learning of the withdrawal, prosecutors and FBI agents were blocked by top Justice Department officials from obtaining bank records they believed might hold critical evidence, according to interviews with people familiar with the case as well as documents and contemporaneous notes of the investigation. The case ground to a halt by the fall of 2019 as Trump’s then-attorney general, William P. Barr, raised doubts about whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe of Trump.“

You think trump has been the only one to take money. Receive money to win an election, yawn.  It’s government, it’s wrong but it takes place all day everyday.

Steve Bannon was Trump's campaign chair 2016. I can't imagine he'd do anything that wasn't above-board.

A bribe from Egypt before taking office, stolen national security documents, goons to attack the U.S. Capitol and 34 felonies involving porn star affair hush money. None of this garnered the four-alarm-fire coverage spent on Biden’s age. It’s a complete failure by our press.

Dear @JudiciaryGOP:

This seems like a big deal. Then Attorney General Bill Barr allegedly stopped an investigation into whether or not Egypt injected $10 million into the Trump for President campaign in 2016. You need to hold a hearing on this explosive allegation.

This is not trolling. No way. No how. These lefties are actually just mentally deranged. They just Don't know right from wrong. They just speak what they've always spoke.

Trump was already elected in early November, well before this $10 million cash withdrawal occurred in Egypt. There is literally no link. There's the amount, and the fact both the Egyptian guy and Trump are leaders of their country.

So your theory is the Egyptian leader gave $10,000,000 to get Trump elected so he could get a one sentence compliment that he paid that much money for? Well, okay, seems very flimsy if that's your only reason.

Correct.

Evidence is required.  Again, rushing is not the prop behavior.......all this fast tracking you observed from Democrats was pointedly to take down a political candidate, in normal operations we would not see that.  So.....then.....the way this Biden issue is being conducted is HOW it SHOULD be done.....not rushing, but methodically collecting the evidence and once everything is in place, you proceed.....happens every.....single...day, across this country.  Sometimes, they have all the evidence but wait to proceed to ensure the many restrictions on time lines and holding people are observed.

I presume the DOJ continues to act as the main protector of Biden to this day.  But later, when Trump reorganizes them......all the protections will subside.....if Biden is still alive, I think he should die in jail

You are saying they don’t have evidence then and are still collecting it.

Of course they are still collecting evidence, that is how you investigate.....you find the fake LLC's and the money transfers and you continue to investigate....its like you think life it like Perry Mason or something.    It takes time, there is enough evidence to know there was a crime, if there wasn't then you are supposed to stop investigating....not do illegal things, like faking a FISA warrant, so you can keep chasing....

There is no evidence that is damning, this could go on forever. You can just say that.

That is fine I suppose but you wrote as if the deep state and the “patience professionalism” of Republican goobers in Congress are what has stopped Biden from being impeached and put in jail
