Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Wake Up Dead Man is another masterpiece edition added to the Benoit Blanc series! Rian’s movies are a delight and a brilliant critique of current politics while remaining as a compelling murder mystery. Also, I’m 100% in the same opinion as Blanc about religion 😇 #wakeupdeadman

1/ Is there a connection to Christian Nationalism and Argentina? Since I was indoctrinated into the cult of evangelical Christianity, I mull over how the church I grew up in hides nefarious activities by making it look like “ministry”.

I do still yearn for a job where I just pull a lever or push a button all day. Or being a useless CEO would be nice!
