It's being perpetrated right in front of us by this administration. They have been embezzling billions in so many schemes: - Crypto scams by DJT - Trump Phone - The whole Tariff Refund Scheme by Lutnick's firm Cantor Fitzgerald - The billions stolen from Venezuela just recently - the J-6 "Slush Fund" - The guy who got the Reflection Pool contract is mysteriously a Mar a Lago regular And probably many many more we don't even know about.
