Trump's Second Term Is About Making America Corrupt Again

"Last week, Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded the corporate enforcement unit of DOJ's National Security Division the prosecutors who went after the people stealing company secrets on behalf of China, or illicitly financing Russia's war in Ukraine. She also broke up the task force that seized the yachts of Russian oligarchs, or busted them for violating global sanctions. At the same time, she killed a 50-person task force, established during the first Trump administration, to investigate covert foreign influence attempts to steer U.S. policy through clandestine means. (Think of the $10 million that a Kremlin-backed media operation steered to MAGA influencers in last year's election.) "It's now a free for all for foreign intel services," former head of FBI counterintelligence Frank Figliuzzi told NBC News.
….Perhaps this is the moment when I should mention the attorney general herself was, until recently, a registered foreign lobbyist for the government of Qatar earning a rather nice salary of $115,000-per-month. And that Trump's pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, was also working for the Qatari government, but without bothering to register. And that on Monday, Trump sacked the head of the Office of Government Ethics.
The last time he was president, Trump took in $8 million or so in direct payments from 20 foreign governments. During his last campaign, he asked oil and gas executives for $1 billion in exchange for rolling back Joe Biden's environmental policies; he also told donors he would immediately approve new pipelines and speed up oil company mergers. For his second inaugural, he celebrated by launching a meme coin that seems to outside experts to be tailor-made for foreign payoffs. And let's not forget the $2 billion Trump's son-in-law and top adviser got from the Saudi government for his investment fund. Corruption has never been antithetical to the Trump brand, and it surely isn't now."
*…and to think, Matt Taibbi used to write pieces like this for Rolling Stone before he started mining millions from the Joe Rogan maladjusted and angry White boy market.
