They all need to be fired and replace anyway. That's actually normal after a change of administration.

These people assume they're going to get some high paying, cush position with some ultra-liberal organization. They act like they're falling on their sword, believing they will reap a great reward.

Well, welcome to 2025.

Your giant, left-wing slush fund, AKA bullsh** NGOs, are being cut off at the knees. No more taxpayer funds. You will have no place to go.

Well Politico and Reuters both have the letter and that’s what they wrote. Reuters describes it as an “asset freeze” and Politico describes it as “freeze accounts”. You seem to be quibbling.


Your own post has a quote describing it as freezing distributions. I’m not quibbling. I’m pointing out you don’t even have a grasp of the basic facts. You asked me about probable cause….which didn’t go well for you, so you pivoted to “freezing someone’s bank account” which isn’t what was ordered. You got everything you possibly could wrong and use it to vilify Trump. If you aren’t intentionally muddying the waters, you’re simple a moron. Don’t care which it is. But those are your two options.

I didn’t use this language. Where’d you get that from?

Both are implicated in this matter. Seems you are quibbling over how to describe what Cheung was ordered to do with the bank account, but the issue is she knew she didn’t have probable cause to order the bank to freeze/seize the funds. Also, whatever predicate threshold she needed (not PC - my bad) to open a criminal investigation she believed she did not have. But that's not why she was fired.

Frankly this whole episode kind of looks like “DOGE” by other means, using the law enforcement powers of DOJ to go after funding that Trump and Republicans don’t like.

From your quote:

quote:

there was concern that contract awardees could continue to draw down on accounts handled by the bank handling the disbursements,


Like I said. It came from your own post. You don’t have a grasp on the basic facts yet have no problem making accusations and conclusions.

You don’t have to have probably cause to stop a distribution. If it violates a contract, the entity has recourse. You know all of this, right? No way you got through law school in without learning basics of commercial paper and contract law.

Quite the leap. He simply asked for an investigation. She refused. She got told to resign. You’re muddying the water and obfuscating. We all see it and I will continue to call out your dishonesty.

She did not get asked to resign until she refused to send the letter to the bank.

She did not get told to send the letter to the bank until after she refused to investigate. You have zero grasp of the facts. You are opining from a place of complete ignorance. Total slime ball.

The accounts are controlled /owned by the government you moron. You don’t have to have probable cause to put a stop payment on an account you own.

When you see a pattern of $100's of millions in funding and grants going to companies that NEVER end up producing the product or services they were paid to it's your obligation to investigate. $1.5 BILLION for EV Buses. Where are they? Solyndra anyone?

Yes, I know

I imagine if they could just stop payment at Citibank rather than leverage the power of the Justice Department to start a criminal investigation, empanel a grand jury, etc., then they'd just do that and call it a day's work.

Like if you were ordered to open an investigation into someone and you are certain that probable cause has not been met


Do you understand how stupid you are???

Read above and try and figure it out. I will help you.

She was ordered to begin an investigation. Yet she said probable cause was not met. Is there not supposed to be an investigation to determine if there is probably cause to present the evidence. Of course there is no evidence because the investigation has not happened yet.

You officially win the retard of the thread award..

As I subsequently recognized, there has to be a predicate threshold (not PC) that must be met in order to open a criminal investigation. Cheung did not believe that threshold had been met based on the review materials provided (pretty sure it included a Project Veritas video).

I was responding to your post that she was ordered to do something and I guess your response implied FAFO.


Let's see your actual post:
