Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee published a 55-page report Thursday accusing the group of aiding President Trump in turning America’s milestone into a “hotbed of corruption and self-enrichment” through tactics that potentially amount to criminal fraud.
It’s titled “From Vanity to Insanity: How the White House Cheated the American People out of their 250th Birthday.”
Rep. Jared Huffman of California, the ranking Democrat on the committee, told NPR that the report was months in the making. It is based on interviews with unnamed whistleblowers, sworn Congressional testimony, internal Freedom 250 documents and other written responses.
“We put it all together to really tell the story … of how Donald Trump hijacked what should have been a unifying national celebration and repurposed it for his own interests,” Huffman said in a Zoom interview. “This was a team of operatives using the Freedom 250 shell company, but it was also Donald Trump himself telling them what to do.”
What are the people not in power doing about the corruption of people who are in power? They’re publishing a 55 page report outlining the corruption, can you not read?
The Democrats have consistently sat on their hands while doing nothing. They could have him arrested and charged with war crimes ir treason or endless other things, but they haven’t. They could have impeached him. They haven’t. They could have fought him down, they could have slowed him, they could have fought. Instead they’ve been wringing their hands, writing memos, and saying ‘just you wait until we’re elected!’
You very clearly have no idea what you’re talking about. How would the democrats have the president arrested? By what mechanism other than full military coup would that be possible? They’ve impeached him multiple times. They have slowed and stalled and blocked, but 1000 cuts are hard to bandage, especially without any legal footing and an executive branch and supreme court that doesn’t act in good faith. You know you can keep up with this stuff yourself. You can see exactly what declarations are being made and by who and what bills are being voted on and how each representative voted. Go see for yourself rather than listening to a bunch of propaganda meant to make us lose faith in our system manufacturing the consent of the people for it to be further dismantled.
