The Justice Department is dropping a campaign finance charge against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried on an apparent legal technicality involving his extradition in December 2022 from the Bahamas to the United States.
In a filing Wednesday, prosecutors wrote that the Bahamas informed the U.S. government earlier in the day that the Caribbean nation “did not intend to extradite the defendant on the campaign contributions count.”

We should have told the Bahamas blow it out their ass!
We are such a laughingstock with joe* douche in the White House.
The Bahamas told us to pound sand?
Bwhahahaha!
Hah! Who’d’a thunk it? Lil’ Scammy bought his way into the in crowd. There was a time when the in crowd wouldn’t consider a member of the small hat tribe regardless of how much money he dumped on them. Ask Trump. Not saying Trump’s small hat but there’s that family background thing going on.
Had to drop it.
His testimony on campaign financing would have implicated the majority of our government.
1. He’s of The Tribe.
2. He greased all the right palms.
3. He only fucked the little people over.
He’s a fucking hero as far as our ruling caste is concerned, a model entrepreneur.
They dropped the charges so they can prepare for another Trump indictment. They do have their priorities.
Our forefathers would have hung the dirty motherfucker by now
War is peace.
Justice is tyranny.
yada yada
And the charges would probably not have been dropped, were it not for his generous campaign contributions.
Can’t have anything eclipsing phony indictments against Trump
it took them 7 months to discover they did something they didn’t ‘intend’ to do?
BS
they did what they did. There aren’t any ‘do overs’ in this type of thing.
Unless the illegal derived and contributed campaign contributions were run through ukraine and given to who knows who, bahamas included. This is just a massive CYA maneuver.
Their deliberate intention of excluding that specific reason needs to be documented and rationalized, and with documentation that is from the time of the extradition, not from two days ago, when they realized what might be in store for them.
Our government is corrupt.
Professionally corrupt.
Well, the DOJ just couldn’t spare any staff, after all, it’s “all hands on deck” to accomplish priority one: bring down Trump at all costs.
