Thank you Adam. It seems that, with Trump, it is always "Follow the money".

Corrupt intent is usually one the key drivers of his actions. Accompanied by his need for power over others, revenge and ignorance. [edit]

Considering that Bessent continues to rebuff’s Wyden’s requests for Bessent to release all material related to Epstein, I doubt that this request from Wyden will be answered by Bessent in a satisfactory manner. Are there truly no other ways to obtain answers and documents from the Treasury? If so we need to rectify this situation when we rewrite the Constitution. If nothing else, this regime is exposing the limits of our so called balance of powers. I think next iteration of our government, we have the ability to call for a no confidence vote and force elections early and often.

Adam, Thanks for pulling this story together. A textbook study of corruption. Sen Wyden is doing the people’s work. I’m expecting the DoJ to charge and launch an investigation of him on something or other soon. Within the next “two weeks”?

When I first met him (back in the days before radio) I didn't much like him, but over the years he has stepped up and stepped up and I have come to appreciate his skill and diligence, and that of his wonderful staffers. Some of this attitude change is in me, a lot is in watching him over the years. We're lucky to have him. (Merkley and his great staffers too! They're digging in hard!)

This entire Presidency is corrupt!

t's all about Trump!what he can grift as today's reports prove that the big business in our Country paid less than (70 billion dollars in taxes, yes 70 billion) money that the middle class and poor will suffer in higher prices across the board, no healthcare and no or less programs that helped our people because Trump made deals with the key players in these companies.

ALOHA. From the COCONUT WIRELESS. ...... "Donald Trump is a president who treats the Constitution as an obstacle rather than a cornerstone of American democracy. He demands complete loyalty from his political allies — whether they are the governor of Florida or the secretary of state of Idaho. His aim is to demonize and intimidate his opponents. When it comes to elections, he wants to set the rules and control the results." D.D.ORG Arse hole Trump, that he is...
