"The US government🚨now has around 30 equity stakes in private companies. How many were coerced like this? "The Trump admin🚨knew the miners needed their permit. In exchange,🚨it asked for the US government to get equity in the company developing the region.... The deal was cut in October." -S Lincicome #Fraud #Corruption #PayToPlay #Extortion #RICO #Trump #Grift #Lies #InsiderTrading #TrumpRegime #Impeach #USPol https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-07-31/alaska-road-permit-shows-how-trump-upends-business-norms

#Schiff talked at length about the plane that #Qatar gave #trump and how trump plans to keep that plane (in his presidential library). He mentioned how American taxpayers have had to pay billions to fix the plane up to presidential protection standards. He also talked about how he sued law firms and now has the lawyers working pro bono for him. /7 #USA #US #USpol #PayToPlay

#Schiff then went into detail about the #corruption behind the #Trump family's "World Liberty Financial," particularly related to crypto and the building of Trump's golf courses overseas. (Note: All of Trump's business ventures are not held in a blind trust) /8 #USA #US #USpol #PayToPlay

Finally, #Schiff talked at length about Trump's ultimate #corruption — Suing the #IRS (so essentially suing himself since he puts people in power in the IRS) to create a "slush fund" to reward those loyal to him, incl. violent #Jan6 offenders. Schiff said the "grand total" of Trump's "Top 10" acts of corruption is ~$6 billion to American taxpayers. 👀 Schiff also said that #trump bought #NVIDIA stock BEFORE he approved the company's major overseas sales deal 👀🤯 /9 #USA #US #USpol #PayToPlay

#Schiff said that #trump has received ~$60 million in "big tech settlements" after suing big social media companies Meta, Twitter, and YouTube (he had been suspended from these platforms for "conduct related to the attack he incited on the Capitol"), then settling with the companies. "One by one, these companies paid up — to him personally and to his pet projects like the golden ballroom" via "creative accounting." Schiff called Trump's actions #extortion /3 #USA #USpol #corruption #PayToPlay

#Schiff said that #trump used the leverage that he had over the social media companies to "help or hurt their businesses" and extorted the social media companies "to the tune of $60 million." 👀 The cost of Trump's corruption with the social media companies to the American public is "more false claims, more false information, more social harms from an unregulated social media, and potentially more incitement of violence around our elections." /4 #USA #US #USpol #corruption #PayToPlay #extortion

#Schiff also talked about Trump's meme coin that helped him become "hundreds of millions of dollars" richer (investors of his meme coin lost bigly). #Trump also "auctioned off" seats to a crypto dinner he held (related to his meme coin) AFTER he had became the US president for his second term. "More money for trump, more fraud for you. This is the cost of corruption," Schiff said. /5 #USA #US #USpol #corruption #PayToPlay

#Schiff detailed the cost of #corruption for Trump's ballroom — hundreds of millions of taxpayer money being wasted as companies that give $ for the ballroom project and are in return given preference for federal contracts (when they might not be the best companies for the work) and have federal investigations into them closed. /5 #USA #US #USpol #corruption #trump #PayToPlay

#Schiff detailed more #corruption surrounding #trump including pay-to-play with businesses, media companies, law firms, and other countries. He referenced how Trump unilaterally made a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia (yesterday), and mentioned how Saudi Arabia "has been phenomenally generous to the Trump family business, to the president and his sons, and to his son-in-law, Jared #Kushner, in particular, in whom they invested a cool $2 billion." 👀 /2 #USA #US #USpol #KSA #PayToPlay
