'Emil Bove Shut Down Bribery Probe of Trump Border Czar Tom Homan'

"In a blockbuster weekend story, MSNBC reported that the Trump Justice Department shut down a bribery investigation of Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, which recorded him allegedly accepting $50,000 of cash during a sting operation in the summer of 2024."

"Homan was recorded accepting the $50,000 in bills in a bag from the fast casual chain Cava, Reuters reported...FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued an extraordinary joint statement in which they condemned the investigation as 'baseless.' The Trump White House called it a 'blatantly political investigation.' "

"Emil Bove, then the acting deputy attorney general and now a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, 'told Justice Department officials he did not support the investigation,' MSNBC reported. Bove called it a 'deep state' operation, according to Reuters, which reported that Patel ordered the investigation closed over the summer."

The FBI has Homan on tape accepting a bribe and our "justice department" calls it a hoax?

Reminds me back when I was a kid watching Groucho Marx say, "who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes." Back then I thought it was a joke, I was wrong.
