Yesterday I posted about Donny’s new thing of letting corporate bosses have instant access to his babblings of Truth Social so they can run to the markets and make money before the fact….that is disgusting but there is more disgusting stories….
The DOJ is abandoning the Corporate Crime Enforcement stuff.
US President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is systematically taking a softer approach to corporate crime, letting companies and executives that have admitted to wrongdoing off the hook with no charges.
The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that “so far this year, 12 companies have pleaded guilty to federal criminal charges. At least six companies have reached deferred prosecution agreements, including refiner Phillips 66 and medical-waste specialist Stericycle, acquired by Waste Management in 2024.” The Journal added that while Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche and other officials have signaled that the Justice Department is “focusing on prosecuting employees rather than companies, it has also granted leniency or dropped charges against people it accused of wrongdoing.”
“The Trump DOJ’s grotesque retreat from corporate crime enforcement leaves Americans increasingly vulnerable to tainted food, workplace exploitation, environmental destruction, widespread ripoffs, and all-around illegal corporate predation,” said Rick Claypool, a researcher at the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen who has been tracking the fall of corporate enforcement during Trump’s second White House term—which has been rife with corruption and profiteering at the very top.
Claypool called the Trump Justice Department’s lenient approach to corporate criminals “an absolute outrage” and that the trend is “going from bad to worse.”
The Journal lays out several examples of the Justice Department abandoning enforcement efforts against prominent companies. “In matters involving Alibaba, EagleBank, and Abbott Laboratories, the department declined to charge companies even when prosecutors thought executives or managers were involved in the wrongdoing,” the newspaper reported. “In those cases, the department didn’t charge any individuals.”

This is pathetic that he would allow these pieces of shit have such freedoms…..all this sounds like his buddy Putin’s playbook in Russia for over twenty years.
Where are those elected cowards we call Democrats in all this corruption?
Well most are sitting in their offices counting the cash lobbyists throw at them….what I am saying in case you missed it….the Dems are NO better than the GOP when it comes to corruption.
I have said my piece.

“lego ergo scribo”
One of the biggest issues with the DOJ is one that almost no one seems to be noticing, and that is the fact that it is dropping actual criminal cases against hundreds and hundreds of criminals because it simply doesn’t have the personnel to both pursue the administration’s anti-immigrant policies, and prosecute actual real criminals at the same time. Through firings, resignations, etc. the DOJ has lost something like 3,500 attorneys since January, 2025. In Minnesota alone supposedly dozens of federal criminal cases were dropped so they could devote their resources to trying to prosecute protesters who’d committed no criminal acts at all.
THe DOJ is Donny personal police force along with ICE….that is mall that matters chuq
America as we knew it is being slowly dismantled like pieces of the jigsaw being thrown away so the puzzle is no longer whole. It is going to take generations to repair the damage that has been done, if anyone ever bothers to even try to do that.
Best wishes, Pete.
There is problem….who will try? Dems? Not likely. chuq
