There is no way on God’s green earth that anyone else with an ongoing BRIBERY investigation looming over their head would be approved for access to the janitor’s closet at DHS, let alone a security clearance.
Border czar Tom Homan didn't receive a normal background check for his role while his bribery probe was still ongoing:

Justice officials felt sure Homan would not be able to obtain a security clearance based on the evidence gathered. It remains unclear how Homan was eventually granted clearance.

President-elect Trump initially balked at submitting names of likely nominees to the FBI for background checks, a basic step intended to flag possible financial conflicts or ethical problems.

This is incredible. Knock yourself out, Russian intel services. “A person familiar with the matter …said analysts at the agency were verbally informed that they were not to follow or report on Russian threats, even though this had previously been a main focus for the agency.” Cc @ciaranm.bsky.social

Oh so Kavanaugh doesn’t want his name associated with ICE arresting people who look like they might be Hispanic or are speaking Spanish?

Now that's a solid statement.

TIKTOKER SHOT BY ICE HAS INDICTMENT THROWN OUT

Carlitos Ricardo Parias was shot in the elbow by ICE during an immigration arrest in October.

A judge tossed the indictment after finding the government violated his constitutional rights, and it looks intentional.

Remember the 22 day gap in the pipe bomber's whereabouts? Trump's DOJ claimed today that they don't have that info because the suspect "wiped" his phone on December 15th. But they were able to get what they needed for January 5th? But then not January 6th? Okay, Jan.

I think the ICE agents work hard and deserve a nice little Kavanaugh Snack, as a treat
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.
