About this episode
đ 1. Black Lives Matter (BLM) Investigation : The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly investigating the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation and other affiliated organizations for potential fraud . The investigation centers on whether BLM leaders misused tens of millions of dollars donated during the 2020 racial justice protests following the death of George Floyd. Allegations include the purchase of a $6 million Los Angeles property using donated funds. BLM leaders deny wrongdoing and claim they are not targets of any federal criminal investigation. The probe reportedly began under the Biden administration but is receiving renewed attention under Donald Trumpâs presidency , aligning with his campaign promise of âaccountability.â The investigation is being run out of the Central District of California , though the top prosecutor there was recently disqualified from several cases. đ 2. James Comey Indictment and Motion to Dismiss : Former FBI Director James Comey is seeking to have charges of lying to Congress dismissed. His legal team argues that Senator Ted Cruzâs questions during a 2020 Senate hearing were too long and confusing , making Comeyâs answers âliterally trueâ despite being misleading. The charges stem from Comeyâs denial of authorizing leaks to the media, which prosecutors claim is false. The defense claims the questions were ambiguous and that Comeyâs statements were not intentionally deceptive. The case involves references to Andrew McCabe , Daniel Richman , and Hillary Clinton , with Richman allegedly being the person Comey authorized to leak information. The commentary mocks Comeyâs defense, suggesting it portrays him as either dishonest or incompetent. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
