Did Trump Take a Ten-Million Dollar Cash Bribe? And Did Bill Barr Cover It Up?

The answers to both questions seems to be "Yes" and "Damn skippy, he did."

Five days before Donald Trump became president in January 2017, a manager at a bank branch in Cairo received an unusual letter from an organization linked to the Egyptian intelligence service. It asked the bank to “kindly withdraw” nearly $10 million from the organization’s account — all in cash.
...
Federal investigators learned of the withdrawal, which has not been previously reported, early in 2019. The discovery intensified a secret criminal investigation that had begun two years earlier with classified U.S. intelligence indicating that Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million to boost his 2016 presidential campaign, a Washington Post investigation has found.
...
Within months of learning of the withdrawal, prosecutors and FBI agents were blocked by top Justice Department officials from obtaining bank records they believed might hold critical evidence, according to interviews with people familiar with the case as well as documents and contemporaneous notes of the investigation. The case ground to a halt by the fall of 2019 as Trump’s then-attorney general, William P. Barr, raised doubts about whether there was sufficient evidence to continue the probe of Trump.

Of course there's not sufficient evidence if you don't go fucking looking for the evidence.

Is anyone surprised at all that the FOFF took a ten-million dollar bribe from the dictator of Egypt? And is anyone also surprised that Bill Barr covered it up?

And is anyone surprised that most of the media is doing its level best to ignore this story?

  6. Right, and your guy keeps blathering about “Crooked Joe Biden and the Biden crime family” and Gym Jordan keeps investigating and you guys have what, exactly? Your guy has 34 felony convictions and is relying on his toadies on the bench to stay out of prison. And only the desperate pleadings of an AZ prosecutor kept your guy from being indicted there.

    You apparently support a convicted criminal and I guess you’re good with that. Do you really believe that he waited until he was in his 70s to start committing crimes?
