Trump’s DOJ shut down more than 23,000 criminal cases to focus on immigration, report finds

It was never about stopping crime or even fraud. If it was, they would have focused on crushing terrorism and patient abuse; they would have clamped down on fraud and bribery. It was always about throwing red meat to his base of bigots, while amassing more and more political power behind the scenes by ''earning'' the support of the corrupt and the extreme. This is also why Trump pardoned more than 1,600 terrorists.

Electing Republicans is the root cause of Americas decline.

>While the Department of Justice retreated from thousands of cases — from drug trafficking and terrorism to fraud, money laundering and white-collar crimes — federal prosecutors launched 32,000 new immigration-related cases, nearly triple the amount pursued under Joe Biden’s administration, the investigation found. >Among the cases shut down by Trump’s Justice Department were investigations into alleged cryptocurrency fraudsters, nursing homes accused of patient abuse, and nearly 1,000 cases concerning fraud and abuse of federal programs and federal contracts despite pledges from Trump and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. ... The revelations also follow the president’s historic number of pardons for white-collar criminals and political allies accused of fraud, bribery and corruption after Trump campaigned on ending what he called the “politicization” of the Justice Department under his predecessor. ... Dropped prosecutions included a case against a mortgage lender who allegedly defrauded the Federal Housing Administration, and more than 100 cases alleging health fraud, including an investigation into a nursing home, a national hospital chain, and one of the largest Medicaid-managed care companies, according to ProPublica. >Meanwhile, Trump has already pardoned more than 1,600 people convicted of federal crimes since the beginning of his second administration, the majority of which were charged in connection with the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Virtually every rioter involved in what was the Justice Department’s largest-ever investigation were granted clemency. >The majority of other pardons involved public fraud and white-collar crimes. >And while he accuses elected officials of committing crimes and demands the imprisonment of his political enemies, Trump preemptively pardoned nearly 80 people involved in his own efforts to overturn election results.

Imagine dropping 23,000 cases just to chase one agenda feels less like justice, more like selective housekeeping.

That worries me. But what worries me more? On Feb 27th gasoline was a wee bit less that $3.00/gallon, Now it's over $4.00 gallon, Is the goverment going to cover that extra $1.00 per gallon? In that last presidential election I was told that prices would be coming down. Can I, maybe, sue the person who started the Iran was which caused gas prices to go up so much? Or am I F\*\*cked becasue starting a war (even w/o the consent of congress) is an "official action", hence not subject to judication?

Department of Just-Do-Whatever-the-F***-We-Want

>Trump’s DOJ shut down more than 23,000 criminal cases to focus on immigration, report finds That's like saying a restaurant shot down focusing on the quality of its menu to focus on the garnishes.

Don't forget the political vendetta cases they keep pursuing with incompetent DOJ staff.

And those 23,000 cases are just those with Trump as the defendant!

When do we get around to getting the child rapists into federal prisons?

Convenient?

So f****** tired.

So you’re telling me I could have been committing crime with zero consequences this entire time?

Pam so proud of her boy riding his invisible Big Wheel without falling off.

Attacking immigrants was the diversion so he can continue to support those trafficking children and drugs. Gotta keep his donors happy

Gawd, he's doing that stupid OCD thing with his hands again., which makes me want to gouge my own eyes out.

Could the American, Department of Justice, become anymore incompetent and corrupt? Trump has taken America back in time at least a hundred years!

I have no problem with immigrants, I don't think there is voter fraud and I love free trade. I am 180 degrees different from Trump.

Bahaha if he were smort, he shoulda deported folks to war /s -Ye old dumb f***

Yeah, that’s what his handlers sent him to do….

Why can't they just put the cases on hold and then come back? Why should they shut it down? Who are connected to these shutdown cases? Beats me.

>Trump’s DOJ shut down more than 23,000 criminal cases... Of course they did... the whole DOJ goon squad is under orders not to prosecute criminals in its midst.

The country must be purified!
