Funny. Kind of hard to accept a bribe when he wasn’t a federal employee at the time.

Anything else can be considered a lobbyist.

GFY with this shite.


The federal bribery statute applies to officials that have been selected even before they take office, as you would expect, otherwise this shite would be legal, and it shouldn't be.

18 USC 201 "...(b)Whoever—

(2)being a public official or person selected to be a public official, directly or indirectly, corruptly demands, seeks, receives, accepts, or agrees to receive or accept anything of value personally or for any other person or entity, in return for:
(A)being influenced in the performance of any official act;....shall be fined under this title or not more than three times the monetary equivalent of the thing of value, whichever is greater, or imprisoned for not more than fifteen years, or both, and may be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States."

They referred for investigation.
Edit: actually we don’t know. And yes, they don’t refer. They take referrals.

Wrong. He allegedly accepted the money under Biden‘s presidency. He was referred for investigation during Biden‘s time.

Trump‘s DOJ investigated and found no wrongdoing. Patel even said so.

What are you suggesting? He got off due to the laziness of the Biden DOJ?

Once again, and I think it’s an important distinction, the DOJ does not refer for investigation. They take referrals for investigation. So, the DOJ didn’t refer Homan for investigation under Biden. If they took any action, they investigated him.

He was referred near the end of Biden’s term, after Trump won the election.
The investigation had nothing to do with Biden‘s DOJ and everything with Trump’s DOJ. I’m not suggesting that. I am stating it as fact.

Edit: September 2024 is when it allegedly occur

I don’t think I said Biden‘s DOJ referred for investigation. He was referred under Biden‘s watch.

What do you think this means?

When are you suggesting he "accepted money"?

When did the Biden DOJ come into this information?

After he “allegedly” took the money, it was reported to the DOJ. Accepting the cash was allegedly in September 2024. I stand corrected, it did not happen after Trump was elected.

I don’t know if Biden‘s DOJ did anything with it during the last couple of months. Don’t know if it was referred for investigation during Biden’s time or not.

Allegedly Trump‘s DOJ shut down the investigation down after Trump was inaugurated. This could, keyword could, imply that the investigation was started under Biden.

Patel reported that Trump’s DOJ did not find any wrongdoing during the investigation. So at the least Patel reported that Trump’s DOJ completed the investigation.

False. It started in the summer of 2024. Next.

I don’t really have a beef. The reports are saying that the investigation was “shut down” by Trump’s DOJ. Patel says they found no wrongdoing.

By the way, Homan never denied taking the money. He only says he did not do anything illegal. This was during an interview with I believe it was Megan Kelli. That could be true. Or maybe not. DOJ won’t release anything to clear things up. I guess they’re being a very transparent administration.

I already cleared that up. Thanks anyway. Next.
Actually, we don’t know when it was referred. We know it was no earlier than September 2024 and no later than January.

Undercover FBI bro; you know that.
This is not some sort of gotcha.
Like the FBI doesn’t set up sting operations with drug smugglers and major tax criminals

Do they have to refer the situation to the DOJ for investigation when drug smugglers and major tax criminals bite on their stings? How's that not a criminal act? I'm trying to understand what you think went down and how this played out, and how if Homan really "bit" on an FBI "sting," the Biden DOJ couldn't (or wouldn't) do something about that IMMEDIATELY.
