The depth of the #Trump admin’s #criminal #corruption on display:
When #DOJ indicted India’s richest man in the final weeks of the #Biden admin, prosecutors described an “elaborate” #bribery scheme involving “corruption & #fraud at the expense of US investors.”
Now…the DOJ is planning to drop the charges altogether.
The reversal came after the Indian #billionaire, Gautam Adani, hired a new legal team led by Robert J. Giuffra Jr., one of Trump’s personal lawyers.

#Ethics challenges continue to arise for #ToddBlanche & others in the administration, especially as their press conferences often highlight how federal law enforcement is carrying out Trump’s wishes, & even #retribution.
In his first press conference as acting attorney general, Blanche notably remarked, “I love you, sir,” to #Trump.

2 weeks after the firing of Tirrell, #ToddBlanche took the unusual step of interviewing #convicted #SexTrafficker #GhislaineMaxwell, fmr partner of the late Jeffrey #Epstein, while she serves time in prison. In that interview, Blanche asked Maxwell about her interactions with #Trump many years before he became president, & she claimed Trump had done no wrong.

…the #Trump admin has gutted both the DOJ’s career #ethics staff & its office of professional responsibility, & not replaced well-respected advisers for #DOJ headquarters who had over the years advised on some of the thorniest questions for leaders.
Tirrell, the ethics official who had briefed #ToddBlanche on recusal, was fired in July. He has since sued the Justice Department seeking compensation.

The potential conflict is more acute now that #ToddBlanche has installed #JoediGenova, a fmr US attorney for DC, to reinvigorate an investigation into what #diGenova has outlined as a broad “conspiracy” against #Trump spanning from the 2017 #Russia #ElectionInterference probe to the aborted Special Counsel Jack Smith prosecutions that ended in 2024.
DiGenova is based in Fort Pierce, FL, a federal court with few major criminal cases aside from Trump’s.

“He is recused from many cases before DOJ. In any cases that are still ongoing where he previously represented someone, he is recused,” the spox said.
The DOJ didn’t specify which cases #ToddBlanche is recused from, but this was the first time they’ve publicly acknowledged that he has recused from some investigations.

The #DOJ’s regulations also prohibit his participation “in any criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship” with anyone who was involved in or has an interest in that investigation or prosecution. [so #Trump obvi]

#ToddBlanche signed the #DOJ #ethics pledge laid out to him by Tirrell, acc/to the former ethics official & a document submitted to the Office of Government Ethics. That pledge included requirements for Blanche to not participate for at least a year in any of the department’s matters involving past clients of the Blanche Law Group, the small private law firm Blanche used to represent #Trump in the #criminal cases.

That includes some who were connected to the prosecutions of #Trump for mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments in Florida after his first term, & conspiring to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election. #ToddBlanche was Trump’s primary personal defense lawyer in both federal court cases, which were dismissed after he won reelection, but prior to being fully resolved in court.

Now serving as acting attorney general, #ToddBlanche finds himself in an ethical quandary. His previous role representing #Trump in #criminal prosecutions brought by the #DOJ means that he is switching sides, overseeing the department’s investigation of the former government officials whom Trump claims unfairly used the criminal justice system to target him.

This whole situation is a mess from every angle. The company allegedly stored passwords in plain text, which is a massive #security failure. The brothers had prior criminal history, allegedly committed more crimes anyway, failed to cover their tracks, and then reportedly asked the judge for leniency by blaming their lawyer.
It is a perfect example of how bad security practices, poor hiring decisions, password reuse, and #criminal stupidity can all collide into one unbelievable story.

[P] I wish this was the kind of world where Reddit could be hit witb a big criminal investigation. For anyone who knows how to find the evidence (age of account, posting pattern, homogeneity of language across "different" accounts), it's 100% obvious that astroturfing on Reddit is ubiquitous. And the Reddit founders encourage astroturfing because they profit from it. They do all they can to enable it.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation.”
This is your president citizens of the United States of America.
Is this the position that you support? A president that’s out of touch. Who doesn’t care if you have enough money to have food on the table. Doesn’t even think about it.
Congratulations to all those who voted for him, a 34 time convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist, a failed businessman.
A president who for a price will pardon convicted criminals.

#Brennan’s lawyer said in a letter to the chief federal judge in Miami that prosecutors had told his client that he is a target of the investigation. He stated prosecutors were "#JudgeShopping" by trying to steer the investigation to a Trump-appointed judge in Fort Pierce, Florida, who previously dismissed a #criminal case against #Trump [yup, it’s the ever-so-compromised #AileenCannon.
