Wow, really? Who would have guessed that a financial instrument designed to disguise illegal activity would be used to disguise illegal activity.

Wait for it … and because there is an ongoing criminal investigation it would be inappropriate to publicly release any investigatory information.

The World According to John Irving www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/s...
“I could not, would not, in good conscience go to my birth country when there is such an authoritarian bully in the White House, and when the craven Republicans in the House and the U.S. Senate are complicit in their silence.”
Democrats were winning in the courts and in the court of public opinion. They threw away all the political momentum and leverage for what? To avoid photos of stranded Thanksgiving travelers?
Vigilante Lawyers Expose the Rising Tide of A.I. Slop in Court Filings www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/b... Robert Freund “is part of a growing network of lawyers who track down A.I. abuses committed by their peers, collecting the most egregious examples and posting them online.”
The Department of Homeland Security has stopped using software that automatically captured text messages and saved trails of communication between officials, according to sworn court statements filed this week. Instead, the agency began in April to require officials to manually take screenshots of their messages to comply with federal records laws, citing cybersecurity concerns with the autosave software. Public records experts say the new record-keeping policy opens ample room for both willful and unwitting noncompliance with federal open records laws in an administration that has already shown a lack of interest in, or willingness to skirt, records laws. That development could be particularly troubling as the department executes President Trump’s aggressive agenda of mass deportations, a campaign that has included numerous accusations of misconduct by law enforcement officials, the experts said.
To Preserve Records, Homeland Security Now Relies on Officials to Take Screenshots www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...
Solution to avoiding record-keeping requirements by auto-deleting on Signal was not to automatically save messages, it was to ask officials to take screenshots? Not suspicious at all.

Well Trump and Santos both believe in the same things—lying habitually, fabricating a mythic past, and grifting at every opportunity.
