The corruption is unfathomable.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Right. To. Prison.
worked and retired from DON… of course management had a fund to reward their ‘best’… set up to take the first cut of the funds for their favorites…
😲
They really must be convinced they’re going to stay in power forever. How do you do this otherwise?
There is so much corruption, people are becoming accepting or at least willing to look away. Sad.
And if the regime achieves its goal of turning America into a fascist dictatorship, Patel and his cohorts will never have to worry about being held to account for their crimes.
I am reserving my "Whatttt?" for whether he faces consequences. Though I had been betting on him being the next to leave the administration.
How’s the mRNA MAGA vaccine coming along?
Waste + Abuse + Fraud = Trump Administration.
When you don’t have respect, you have to have money
Prosecute all those agents accepting that money!!
WTF?! I shouldn’t be surprised goddamnit. 🤬
Had there ever been a Cabinet/Administration as crooked as Trump's?
what was inconceivable two years ago...is now totally believable
Of course Ka$h Patel had a slush fund. It’s American Taxpayer money, like the FBI $60M jet and fuel he used to fly across the country and go on dates. You can’t make this shit up.
The DEPTH of the MAGA CORRUPTION is mind blowing!
YOU get a slush fund. And YOU get a slush fund...
Nothing these criminals do surprise me.
It’ll take a generation to clear all of the MAGA pedophile traitors out of the government. We’ll need a whole new department of Nazi hunters.
💯 not surprised…
That's the second time I've seen the name Kash and Slush in the same sentence today.
Remove him from this position. NOW
I think the glue that holds this admin & donors together is the slush funds they created for themselves, the massive wealth, and zero repercussions for being inhumane to everyone not in the circle ( but that’s just me)
Dems need to find a way to prosecute these dirtbags once they're out of office. The problem is the POTUS will pardon every single one of these people. We live in a fucking banana Republic.
So many people going to jail from this administration, not for petty political revenge... just open investigations based on complaints and let them follow the evidence. Oh, and freeze all their assets until it is determined what portion was the fruit of criminal acts.
Sounds like Mafia hit men!!!
Well, what a surprise! The @realdonaldtrump administration would use a slush fund is shocking! NOT!!!!!!!!!
It's coming....
Big news if true.
This is big....Raskin wouldn't attach his name to something like this unless he had 'proof' and the 'may' part of the sentence means Raskin knows it to be true but doesn't have the 'rock solid' evidence yet to publicly display YET
Crooked Gmen, is this a Stephen Segal movie?
Americans are just going to let this shit go until they are dead. What a bunch of do nothing losers.
I hope he visits a rake factory and trips into the tong puller.
No surprise. They "promise" to pay ICE more per "body" caged. Patel, apparently, just throws cash at them.
Remember it took Merrick Garland a year to decide if prosecuting the Coup and Election tampering was worth it? Dems are at least 40% responsible for this shitshow we live in now.
Wow! If even remotely true, this is some Grade A corruption right here. The mob just decided to muscle over the Furbee Bureau of Investigation and they expect it to stand? Ka$h indeed.
This dude doesn't quite grasp how law enforcement works. They take your bribe & then shoot you.
Holy shit. 😳
Is tar and feathering out of style?
Looks like I might win my Kalshi bet on Patel losing his job.
They're all grifters and scammers!!!
“ may have” I’d say it’s a given. They all look at our taxes like it’s their personal slush fund.
What fresh new hell is this?
He calls it Petty Kash
Heard Carville stop Michael Smerconish in his tracks on MS' CNN show (also on Daily Beast). “I don’t know if Trump is a traitor... But he would do everything that a traitor would do.” DEMs Repeat This: "If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, & quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."
How very Russian agent of him
Prime Time Crime Inc. Let's not act surprised by ANYTHING revealed about this fantastical fanatical fascist fuckery. It is THE AGENDA without ANY accountability. “The voices of the dead haven’t taught you motherfuckers a goddamn thing have they." youtu.be/05MD0RB-Lb4
Idk, reminds me of my employment with the federal government where they could give, in my case, small bonuses whenever they found that I went above and beyond. Lots of federal departments operate in many similar ways, so I can see how something like that could be used for political purposes today
Personal???? Where did that money originate from? I will bet from taxpayer funds. Therefore we are paying for this so he can turn on people not loyal to the orange buffoon, or his incompetence.
But. Of. Course.
Drag his sorry ass in front of Congress, again.
I understand the outrage, but not the shock or surprise. This administration is utterly corrupt and is capable of any sinister act we can imagine.
He's already hand out cigars and liquor. Why not cash? After all his name is Kashapp.
WTF is going on? On a daily basis we find out more and more of OUR money is being used to pay their corrupt cronies and insurrectionists. This is not acceptable. If we don't start marching in the streets and demanding change, this is the way its going to be. Fuck these protests we need marches. 🤬
All the people serving in this administration is stealing money from the taxpayers. Once tRump is gone you’ll see and still never believe it. Why do you think your food prices are high or why they are trying to get rid of healthcare?
These people are all leeches and should be in jail
#Bluecrew If paid lawlessness is a requirement to "Make America Great Again", I'd rather we be not so great.
#Bluecrew Oh, big surprise.
Legal? WTF America! 💙🌊
Every mob lieutenant has one. Geez
Must be illegal. Oh, he's the cops.
There is no bottom.
This is beyond bizarre and corrupt. People can't do their jobs if they are always concerned that they might be deemed 'not loyal enough'.
The fuck???
WTAF?!?!
PRISON NOW
Not remotely surprised
Drag that son of a bitch to your committee. I’d he does nothing but lie. Have him arrested on the spot.
Put nothing past him
Damn. Stop this ASAP.
WTAF?!
They do love to spend taxpayer money don’t they? Can anyone say corruption?
When the foxes are guarding the henhouse…
So not a *personal* slush fund, then, but a fund of taxpayers' dollars.
Pretty sure what we know that this administration is doing is just a drop in the bucket.
“Paid protesters” was projection all along, just like everything else. No surprise there.
We are paying for their corruption with our tax dollars.
This is so fucking corrupt.
Even then I doubt any of them are truly loyal to him.
Nothing shocking here ! This is where we are now !
Just paid my estimated taxes. Enjoy yourself, Kash!
🤯
they are all in on the grift baby girl.
shocking. i'm shocked. look how shocked i am. 😐
The SLUSH FUND is probably also used to pay for his other FBI IMPORTANT BUSINESS!!
Careful or Patel will pay an FBI agent $8,000.00 to visit you. I wonder if he pays in cash and dances around singing out his own name over and over as he throws the money at them like a loser at a strip joint?
Probably with Trump’s blessing & possibly Trump’s idea.
The corruption!!
OMG!
The corruption of Trump is pervasive and malign
Wow, Trump's corruption has even found its way into the FBI! Republican Senators should be proud of the clowns they have confirmed as cabinet secretaries and FBI directors. Their confirmed clowns are wildly incompetent, yet they are granted great power and receive very high salaries.
I hope we all live long enough to read the tell-all books of the shit show that has been the Kash$-FBI since Jan '25. If AI doesn't kill us all first.
WTF 🤬
I'm sure he does.
If rumors are unbelievable they are probably true.
For some reason, I don't find this hard to believe.
For some reason… this doesn’t surprise me! He’s someone’s asset and has been quite some time. Not just trumps ass kisser.
Ah, no wonder there’s suddenly a foiled plot allegedly concocted by a 19 year old.
👀
Trump is gonna fire this dude soon, not because he’s a piece of shit, but because he’s in the news way too much.
probably stuffs it in those bourbon bottles. brings back those semi secret meeting the Dem farmers in Eastern Oregon sussed out with Kash & then Rep Where'sWalden in very rural Weston Oregon. When called out on it, they claimed the locals were from Portland 5 hours away.
well, to be fair, $kash$ has always been coin operated
All these people claimed they would help Trump drain the swamp (I realize they were full of bs the entire time) but now they are growing the swamp. And when they are out of power, they will rail on draining the swamp again.
When you need to pay your employees more just to put up with the bosses shit.
Nobody should be surprised by this if true.
No one better NOT be SURPRISED. 🫤😏🤷😡🤬👀
Wait up. The FBI Director is paying current government employees thousands of dollars under the table to perform non-government duties on government time? Is the FBI Director running a private company as side business or are Americans his side business?
Uh…wtf
Crypto I suspect will likely be used to finance the next insurrection
Not surprising whatsoever.
I guess they should open Alcatraz - so all these corrupt ppl can be imprisoned there. There are so many- let them be imprisoned together - so as not to influence other inmates. These crooks know about all the criming.
No surprise here, I'm sure many loyalists are getting our money either through government contracts, like Musk, et al... and tht all of the agencies he has taken over have these funds to give his supporters!! The Treasury will be empty when a real president takes over!!
dirty cop(s)
Somebody stop the corruption!
If only there was a branch of government that had the power of the purse to address this. If only.
buying friends. you hate to see it.
White Trash army to fight the real army.
Zero surprise there
No surprise 😳
Explain to me how you were bouncing government checks because you paid so many bonuses to corrupt agents?
Who have this son of a bitch our taxpayer dollars
It's one debacle after another. The entire administration deserves to be impeached and imprisoned. Preferably in one of their worst detention centers once we free the innocent.
Haven't you ever read LA Confidential by James Ellroy? Kash Patel is like Captain Dudley Smith of the LAPD. Only very drunk and incredibly stupid.
I’m NOT 👎 surprised 😒. Trump needs Kash to pay 💰 off people with doggy treats for either doing favors for them OR for shutting up. The Trump Regime is basically the new Mafia, except it’s being performed in plain sight.
This is prolly why there was a "attempted assassination". CashApp needed to get out ahead of it.
Jan 2027 is going to be the beginning of some of the craziest investigations ever. Mass resignations after election
The framers of our constitution would be very disappointed that we are not fighting harder against this regime. It appears as if we have surrendered when we are not visibly protesting. They are gaining more power and we are going to be too late to stop them if we do not act now. REPOST THIS!
If that’s not impeachable, what is?
Maybe when the DEMs get back into power, investigations into budgeting may have to be a little more stringent to avoid 'even the appearance of impropriety' like it was when I worked at the IRS! Unexplained 'bonuses' to FBI agents may be in order!
So much money getting thrown around, misdirected, cut from legitimate programs...and they're doing the Accounting. Our own tax dollars are being used against us.
Of course he does. He orchestrated the “assassination attempt” at the correspondents dinner.
We will adhere to our ideals and our morals with integrity.We will acknowledge the uncomfortable reality that there will be those who are Corrupt in our government. We must be sure not to seed the grounds of despair that allows their lies and flase promises to grow in the minds of the desperate.
Whoa. Sounds highly suspicious and a bit more illegal than an instagram photo of seashells.
I look forward to seeing more about this. Assuming that Republican leadership in the House allows an investigation of Patel's alleged misconduct to proceed.
I’d be surprised if he DIDN’T have a slush fund to pay off bent fbi agents
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
You go Raskin….. keep following the money.
📌
Sounds Exactly on brand For this administration!
And we thought Orban was corrupt!!!
Off the rails.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
WTAF, does he think he’s the Sheriff of Nottingham?
He’ll need a pardon for this one.
What Molly said!
No doubt
Can trump and the clown brigade be any slimier
Fry this motherfucker.
Entire administration of the lowest lowlife lying pack of butt kissing Republicans
Not just about the utter stupidity. It’s the utter corruption.
Worse than we thought😳
No kidding. We are paying for a lot of shit.
Okay, then. Now do something about it.
Yeah and Democrats @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are going to write a strongly worded letter to make sure it stops. I feel like you’re gaslighting us. Everyone knows nothing will happen, nothing.
The government has become gangland USA.
That's bribery
Easy to believe. There's a lot of unaccounted for cash running around. And there doesn't seem to be any accounting for Kash. And then there's those secret, invisible, bad guys.
WTF is a “personal slush fund of taxpayer dollars”? That’s an oxymoron. They mean “…of using stolen taxpayer money to…”
......... The fuck.
Follow. The. Money.
The corruption is just endless. It is so frustrating and dispiriting. The Dems need a solid plan for what will be done about it swiftly and not eating up more taxpayer dollars.
The slusher has got a slush fund? Seems appropriate, if not completely illegal.
These fucking dorks need to pay people to "like" them!
That sounds wildly illegal
Nothing will happen
🤬
Patel’s own squad of thugs. Terrifying.
Of course he does.
Loyalists…if that wasn’t horrifying it’d be funny. Bribing people to be on your side. Only loyal for $$$$$$
The next POTUS will inherit a freakin' mess. I bet they're even sucking money from the Social Security/Medicare fund.
