    Color me skeptical. Kash Patel being Kash Patel and a loyal appointee of Donald Trump, Patel will most likely release those documents supporting Trump's narrative that Russian interference in the election was a hoax while refusing to release others possibly using the pretext of national security.

    you certainly can feel that way- and am sure you do not agree with me- but Trump’s admin has been remarkably transparent

    This will reveal as much as Bill Barr's election fraud investigation

    I think we should see the buyers of his cryptocurrency.

    What are your thoughts on transparency there?

    to be honest with you I had to google this as I knew nothing about it and from what I read this is run by his kids and the corporation controls the family interests

    Yeah, he's peddling untraceable White House influence and his ....uh, kids ...... are profiting from it. (Running the family business that is, which profits from it.)

    Does it seem legit?

    Seems almost absolutely, unquestionably ..... criminal, no?


    Trump family's net worth has increased by $2.9 billion thanks to crypto investments, new report says

    The group State Democracy Defenders Action estimated in a new report that the president's crypto holdings now represent nearly 40% of his net worth — or approximately $2.9 billion. That increase is due in part to his release of the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins, in addition to a large stake in World Liberty Financial, a crypto exchange affiliated with the Trump family that launched in October 2024. State Democracy Defenders Action identifies itself as non-partisan, but it is overseen by frequent critics of President Trump, with an agenda focused on "the autocratic threat to our nation."

    It's allowed when the sitting President has fired all the IG's who otherwise would have investigated it, and when the Department of Justice and SEC are run by cronies who consider their job enabling the POTUS's crimes, rather than enforcing the law.

    Pretty disappointing how so many Trump supporters are so comfortable with such an obvious lack of ethics, with such obvious influence peddling.

    But we're in an era of presidential criminality. And many of you guys are OK with that.

    Some of us you support a criminal abusing the presidency to commit self-enriching, unethical crimes. Some of us don't.

    We all have to look in the mirror.

    Yep, he fills out the same financial disclosure paperwork that I fill out. Only difference is he has more to declare and someone else handles his investments

    Does it make you wonder what sort of media environment you are soaking in that you hadn’t even heard of this? It is easily the biggest presidential grift in history - by far - and you’ve never heard of it.

    Don't forget the 58 people who made $Millions and coincidentally, all were invited to a closed door dinner with Trump that they are NOT transparent about, but all 58 exited their positions shortly thereafter and before the crash.

    But, yeah, VERY transparent. Just like any other career criminal.

    Bill Barr appointed John Durham in '19 to do the investigation into how the Crossfire Hurricane investigation started. That investigation did not end until '23. Back when we had an adult in Barr running DoJ, he convinced Trump that he could not release any of those documents without interfering with the Special Counsel's investigation.

    I very much doubt there is anything ground breaking in those documents. The thing that most people that followed this closely still have questions about are Stephen Halper and Joseph Misfud ended up in the story. If Durham did not find anything on that, I do not think there is some document in the FBI that is going to answer it.
