Oh really now?Trump said:I know nothing about the project, other than I didn’t like, when I read about it I didn’t like it.
But Trump and McEnany’s statements belie claims by former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the general counsel of We Build The Wall, in January 2019 that Trump gave the project his “blessing,” as well as Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr.’s public praise of the project as a “pretty amazing” effort for an “important grassroots issue” at a 2018 fundraiser, according to video unearthed by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski.
Trump also “personally and repeatedly” lobbied for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to award a $1.28 billion wall-building contract to Fisher Industries, a politically-connected firm that was also helping We Build The Wall build a private portion of the wall, according to the Washington Post.
Yup. Well, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service does, which is an arm, the law enforcement arm, of the USPS.Questions.
1. The US Postal Service has agents, who can arrest people?
Canada Post has their Security & Investigation Services. I don't know if they arrest people, though.I had no idea, I wonder if Canada has the same.
I suspect they're unrelated.2. Am I spending too much time online and turning into my own version of a conspiracy nut that my first thought is THIS might have been the real motivation behind attacking the Postal Service recently? A threat against them not to do this? Or is it just sweet coincidence?
1.) Yes. In fact, it is rare that a big fraud case does not somehow involve the post office authorities because "postal fraud" is an extra special sort of fraud, and the moment any part of the fraud scheme goes through the mails, it is postal fraud. I imagine Canada does have the same sort of force unless they've farmed it out to the Mounties. Or Canadians are just too damned nice to commit postal crimes ....Questions.

Of course, Trump is pretending he doesn't know anything, yet he tried to direct a $1.28 billion contract to Fisher Industries (that was also working with the frauds).2) Why would His Orange Excrescence do something like that? HE DON'T KNOW NUFFIN' ABOUT NUFFIN'!

Yes, that would be him. Lately he has been up to recruiting former spies to infiltrate liberal organizations, teacher's unions (remember that he is the brother of Betsy Devos, Secretary of Education), and of course being part of this fraudulent organization.Is that Erik Prince the mercenary? Please lock him up.
Erik Prince, the security contractor with close ties to the Trump administration, has in recent years helped recruit former American and British spies for secretive intelligence-gathering operations that included infiltrating Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda, according to interviews and documents.
I came here to say that taking money from people who are donating money to build The Wall seems like barely a crime.on second thought... while I hope they hang for the fraud, I don't at all feel bad for the racists whose 'charitable donations' were swindled. Nope. Not a bit.
That one has more to do with trying to cripple the Election than this Fraud. HOWEVER, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Bill Barr's attempt to fire Berman, the US Attorney in charge of the SDNY, and install a loyalist is tied to this and an attempt to subvert it.2.

I find myself conflicted... Sure, they defrauded a load of donors - but those donors were paying to build the wall, so I feel no sympathy for them at all.
