...of DonOLD Trump.

On Friday, the Washington Post broke a bombshell story about a credible allegation of bribery involving the 2016 election of Donald Trump, Egypt’s dictator Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and a mysterious $10 million all-cash withdrawal from an Egyptian state-run bank just five days before Trump became president — and adopted a more friendly aid policy toward the Middle Eastern nation.

The article, in short...

1. The allegation is based on "jaw-dropping" CIA intelligence that indicated Egypt's president sought in 2016 to illegally inject $10M to help elect Trump;

2. The lead came from a reliable CIA informant and was corroborated by other US intelligence operations;

3. Investigators then discovered a $10M cash withdrawal in Jan 2017 from key Egyptian spy agency account that seemed to validate the intel.

In case the MAGA cult misunderstands: Bribery is bad. Just ask former senator Bob Menendez, also bribed by Egypt.

Here's the difference (besides the sheer volume of the bribe): Biden did not shut down the investigation of Menendez but Trump's political loyalists at DOJ did shut down his investigation.
