Treasury Secretary Scott Besson announced today that the United States directly purchased Argentine pesos as part of a $20 billion currency swap, but he insists the deal is not a bailout.So, let's make something clear. downplaying it as merely a swap agreement, exchanging pesos for dollars to stabilize their economy. Well, at the very least, that is not the full picture.Now, we might not be writing a direct $20 bil ...

But what that really means in layman's terms, I guess, is is mortgage fraud.Now, that is ringing a bell for you. That is because that has become the Trump gingup charge of choice, mortgage fraud. Trump appointed this guy, Bill Py, to be his little lackey over as the director of the Federal Housing Finance Associ agency.And even though that agency is in charge of monitoring the ma ...

I am begging you to pas ...

Comeies, it's worth noting James Comey's son-in-law um who is I believe married to Meen Comey, his daughter, who was fired from um uh the Southern District of New York, I do believe, is where she served. His son-in-law used to work in the Eastern District of Virginia office up until they indicted his father-in-law and he resigned in defense of the Constitution.
