I'm starting to think impeachment should happen. It will be painful and split the nation even more, but Trump shouldn't be able to get away with all the obstruction. For all we know, his orders to break the law were followed by many staffers and evidence was destroyed.
I'm pretty sure that in 10 years, looking back, if there is no impeachment, we will all shake our heads and say 'why didn't the dems impeach? what were they afraid of?
I haven't decided yet, but I'm starting to lean toward it.
And now Barr has granted himself a waiver to supervise the investigation of a the foreign firm that alleged laundered $100,000 through the Trump inauguration.
As part of a wider probe into potentially illegal donations made by foreign nationals to Trump’s inaugural committee in 2017, New York prosecutors are investigating whether Jho Low, a Malaysian fugitive accused of helping to steal around $4.5 billion from 1MDB, illegally donated $100,000 to the Trump Victory committee in December 2017.
Low was indicted in the Eastern District of New York in October 2018 on money laundering and bribery charges.
The donation itself was made by U.S. citizen Larry Davis, the co-owner of Hawaii investment company LNS Capital, but investigators are scrutinizing whether transfers totaling $1.5 million that originated with Low earlier that year were funneled to the Trump Victory committee, according to the Wall Street Journal. Low has denied the allegations.
