Didn’t cow t the Fox News crew to discuss it but all duh fake news media crowd not talking about this either. I think it’s in part to no one really understands what the hell goes on with Crypto.

MDC 7,857 Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM Good summary of Trump’s crypto grift here. Short version is he deregulated the industry and offers pardons and bribes in exchange for investment in his bitcoin boondoggle. Remember when RLLD was Very Concerned about Sleepy Joe getting kickbacks from foreign entities? Wut a moron. 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And once midterms are over, sane republicans will get more vocal about this stuff. Edit: Btw, Zhao is a Chinese born Canadian citizen and Binance managed financial transactions with Al Qaida, ISIS, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, etc. This admin pardons him but goes after colleges and universities. Hypocrisy is the brand! Edit: Binance also ran transactions for websites that sold child sex abuse materials. Also on brand for Pedo Don. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm telling you, they are wholly ignorant. You think Fox and Gateway Pundit are covering Don's bribery schemes? I've caught some Fox News recently because my dad watches it. Unless the news side is occasionally mentioning it, there is NOTHING. It's just a 100% bash dems for everything, praise Don for everything. It's focking lunacy. Every time I bring something up to my old man about this admin's corruption, the inevitable response is "I haven't heard about that."

There are usually a few dudes on here who will at the least troll. They aren’t touching this one apparently. I had some Morning Joe on this morn and they covered the WH demolition and NY mayor race for like 30 mins. This story is a bit old but I think this would headline shet on Fox if a Dem prez did this. Don was asked about this last week and he acted like he didn’t know the guy and only did it because he it recommended to him. That’s the excuse he went with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegeneral 3,576 Posted 7 hours ago This was brought up in another thread. Donald was asked about it during the 60 Minutes interview last night. He doubled down and the official answer is he didn’t know this guy and pardoned him. He knew nothing about his family crypto coin making billions of dollars on the exchange that this guy ran. He added he pardoned this guy because of crooked Joe Biden or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
