Trump led an insurrection against the US and was allowed to be president again despite not being eligible to do so.

Grifters excepting cash when it is handed to them is not surprising. The grifter working for the Trump administration is not surprising.

Not surprising but also one of those things we need to refuse to let go, especially if there is hard evidence of it that they want to bury.

Homan has threatened local elected officials and branches of police across America for not falling in line with immigration policy.

If there is evidence he can't deny we need to make it impossible for Mr. rule of law to open his mouth and threaten others without this being thrown back in his face.

Dude's name sounds like something a reptilian alien wearing a skin suit would come up with when pressured to give a name.

I saw that Doctor Who episode

I miss the times when alien visitors would come up with somewhat believable names. "Elvis Presley" was a stretch but people bought it back then, "Tom Homan" is just lazy. At least my guy Aal`Vis (as I knew him) put some effort into his costume and mask.

And throw in the unedited Epstein files while you're at it.

This wasn't actually a sting operation, it was an initiation test, and he passed.

Tom, the only way to save yourself is to grab that box of Epstein files and give them to the press. But the good press, if there are any left that aren't fearful.

What I'd really like to know is whom did he piss off at the FBI and how, for them to run a sting like this and make the results public.

Maybe it was one of the FBI agents sent to the IRS to hunt down immigrants?
