In this live recording, I dig into follow-up reporting from MSNOW that raises disturbing, unanswered questions about Trump’s so-called “border czar,” Tom Homan, and an alleged FBI bribery investigation that should have been a national scandal — but wasn’t. According to internal Justice Department documents and reporting, undercover FBI agents recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash, handed over in a paper bag, in exchange for promises to steer lucrative ICE and border-enforcement contracts under a future Trump administration.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations — and despite video evidence reportedly existing — the case appears to have stalled, been minimized, or quietly buried once Trump returned to power. I walk through how career DOJ officials tried to flag the issue before inauguration, why security clearances should have been impossible under normal standards, and how the Trump transition team sidestepped basic vetting procedures altogether.
This post also looks at the broader pattern: corruption treated as background noise, the reflexive “debunked” defense that never actually debunks anything, and the media’s failure to relentlessly follow stories that implicate powerful figures. If this had happened in any other administration, it would dominate headlines. Instead, it’s been left to a handful of reporters — and independent voices — to keep asking the obvious question: why isn’t this being investigated like the crime it appears to be?
