Scandal plagued Tim Walz is now not seeking re-election. What cable network hires him as their Chief Executive Trump Whiner? Frankly, that is the skill he is most known for. I do not think he was involved criminally in the Somali multi billion dollar fraud. Just incompetent enough not to do anything about it. I wouldn’t bet against some Republican DA indicting him on something.

If I lived there I'd be holding anyone responsible for it.

However, I don't get rightwing interest in REAL ACTUAL fraud.

What??!! I can see using the usual deflection of "rightwingers have been guilty of fraud too" but this angle? for one thing everyone should be interested in this particular case, for another it's very clearly left wing related fraud with the added spiciness of more moderate Dems involved or giving it a blind eye

Didn't get it huh? Ya'll should have been interested in fraud at the presidential level before you voted Trump in. But you all weren't.

Quote:
In 2013, New York sued Trump for defrauding students through his unaccredited real estate training program.
The Fraud: Students were allegedly pressured into paying up to $35,000 for "seminars" that failed to deliver promised real estate secrets.

The Outcome: Shortly after the 2016 election, Trump settled three separate lawsuits for $25 million to provide restitution to former students.

That's just one thing linked to him.

I'll take that bet that on a GOP/MAGA DA or US Attorney will indict Tim and the indictment will result in a conviction. Conviction comes sometimes on or before Jan 5, 2028. $100 gift card or cash in hand. I win if no indictment or no conviction within 2 years. You win if indictment and conviction. Push if indictment but no trial result or verdict pending by Jan 5, 2028.

I think you are basically agreeing with me? I’d be stunned if he ever got convicted of anything. I don’t think he’ll be charged, but it certainly wouldn’t shock me. He is smart enough to know he’s already been found responsible in the court of public opinion.

I'm betting on a lawfare indictment in bad faith getting tossed by a judge before it even gets to trial.

I’m just pleased his career is being relegated to the garbage dump. I’m wondering if MSNBC will try for a Harris/Walz ‘Trump bash hour’.

The Commie might be temporarily out, but a person like that'll get promoted by Dems for overseeing the DEI equity scam to such a degree. Of course, change the flag back.
