The problem is that, apparently, DHS and Treasury paid two or three times value when they bought them (with our tax dollars) and now will sell them for huge losses. Welcome to Trump's and Bessent's and DHS's incompetence -I can hear them now "Screw it -just unload it - it ain't our money ". And we wonder why Trump bankrupted all his businesses. He's bankrupting America as we speak.

He is probably money laundering.

In any case, the warehouse sales plan - if used - needs to be understood as a key step in the Miller/Mullin pivot back from federal ownership/operation model to the equally evil public-private partnership concentration camp model, while throwing the Noem/Lewandowski horndog duo as far under the bus as possible.

Follow the money. Who sold to the govt? Who approved the sale? Who got the rehab contracts? Who approved those contacts? Who wins from these new sales? Who are the agents, lawyers and others central to the $? Who will win from the next round of sales? Circular funding with skim or buckets of profit (maybe even fraudulent profit) at each step. Don't you smell the stench?

I think the purchases are a scam to give money to the original sellers. Someone should investigate the transactions and connections between the original sellers and administration officials. I think the Maryland property was owned by an REIT.

The sellers and brokers made a lot of money. Now the government is selling the properties at huge losses, and private brokers are making money selling them for the government.

Trump functions as an organized criminal with protection rackets and money laundering. He has been laundering Russian mob money for years. His mentor was Roy Cohn, a mob lawyer who was also a prosecutor in the McCarthy hearings.

We have been looking into it for some time, and recently partnered with More Perfect Union to show a few ways various entities profited or benefited from these sales!

This is not incompetence. This is blatant corruption and fraud. Every single person involved must be prosecuted. Let’s start prosecuting at the top with the highest level government officials and CEOs who are responsible for organizing and benefiting the most from these fraudulent schemes.

We need to begin saying TRUMP FIRST, instead of saying America First. How can so many pretend this is illegal & against the constitution. Congress & SCOTUS need to be held accountable

More stupid moves by this administration. I swear, the sheer amount of idiocy just never ends. That doesn’t mean I’m not praying for it to end soon
