We Talked to a Trump Whistleblower. What He Saw Will Shock You.



We Talked to a Trump Whistleblower. What He Saw Will Shock You.

There's a set of MAGA lobbyists in DC who can get you anything you want from the White House, legal or not.

Ticketmaster, Paramount, crypto companies — they're all exploiting this pay-to-play system.

We talked to a DOJ whistle-blower who saw it up close.

He's now a full professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School.... one of America's premier law schools.

but I worked with him at Hogan (when it was Hogan & Hartson) decades ago.

I don't want to dox myself by talking about the case, but he was an extremely nice person to work with - very professional. He helped me to become a better legal writer.

There is so much crime happening in plain sight, the whistle-blowers are just icing on the cake.
