But a White House whistleblower from Trump\u2019s first term says there will be no way to hide Trump\u2019s lawfare from investigators when he leaves office \u2014 no matter how much paper he shreds.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5099\">Trump\u2019s gets \u2018humiliating\u2019 response after Kim Jong Un boast<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he Trump administration is not hunting fraud. It\u2019s hunting down its enemies with anything it can find. \u2018Fraud\u2019 just happens to be the easiest label to apply,\u201d said former U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) analyst Miles Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s DOJ used \u201cwelfare fraud\u201d as the \u201cthinly veiled pretext\u201d to launch a massive political shakedown in a state that Taylor points out is led by Democrat Tim Walz, who dared to challenge Trump for the White House in 2024. Before it was halted by a federal judge, Trump\u2019s DOJ tried to investigate Walz for allegedly impeding the president\u2019s immigrant crackdown. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe true nature of Trump\u2019s \u2018anti-fraud\u2019 plans came into view last year, as the White House pursued retribution against New York Attorney General Letitia James, the woman who won a nine-figure civil fraud judgment against Trump,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cIn September, the president publicly demanded on social media that \u201cJUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!\u201d Weeks later, a former White House aide indicted James for alleged \u2018mortgage fraud.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But look to the money to see Trump\u2019s true motivation, said Taylor. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA White House genuinely obsessed with protecting taxpayer dollars would not be spending nearly a billion of those dollars (much of it raided from other agencies) to gild the White House and build a ballroom, or just as much to retrofit a luxury jet from Qatar. You cannot loot the treasury with one hand and call yourself its guardian with the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5097\">The DOJ\u2019s \u2018unserious\u2019 Comey case could open a dark new door<\/a><\/p>\n<p>But Trump\u2019s presidency is already nearly halfway through. When he\u2019s gone, he will be a powerless target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[W]hen power changes hands, which it eventually will, we will seek all the documents, including every criminal referral memo, target list, email between the White House and the task force, hand-written notes from the vice president\u2019s fraud meetings, and so on. All of it will be subpoenaed and reviewed, whether by a new Congress next year or a new Justice Department after that,\u201d said Taylor. \u201cAnd guess what? They can\u2019t shred it all on the way out the door, because they\u2019ve trapped themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paperwork, emails and private notes, assured Taylor, is the lifeblood of the prosecution process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they want their prosecutions to survive, there must be evidence, discovery, and a chain of custody. The records must exist somewhere, or the cases go away. I suspect that when investigators finally follow that paper trail, it will lead exactly where the Letitia James and Adam Schiff cases already point \u2014 back to the White House \u2014 and to proof of the deliberate weaponization of the American government against its own citizens,\u201d said Taylor.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextaddressamerica.com\/?p=5095\">Republican panics at Trump\u2019s \u2018little war\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when the real fraud trials will begin,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s politicized Department of Justice has abandoned major white-collar prosecutions in favor of waging legal war against Trump\u2019s perceived political enemies.
