Here is the line of dirty DA's and crap-headed congress cruds, waiting for their turn to start another investigation, or issue another indictment, when this slug is through with his investigation.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat, has threatened former President Donald Trump with a new investigation into his reported promises to Big Oil.
The Washington Post reported this week of a deal that Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, reportedly offered to top oil executives at a Mar-a-Lago dinner last month—raise $1 billion for his campaign and he will reverse dozens of President Joe Biden's environmental regulations and prevent new rules, according to people with knowledge of the dinner.
According to the Post's sources, Trump said gifting him $1 billion would be a "deal," because of the taxation and regulations they wouldn't have to worry about if he was in office.......
"Except for day one," the former president said. "No, no, no, other than day one. We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I'm not a dictator." His drilling comment was a reference to his vow to expand oil drilling in the United States. He later said that the comments were in a "joking manner." Trump also said that "I'm not going to have time for retribution."
According to the Post, Trump reportedly promised oil executives to end Biden's halt on permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, three people present when the comment was made, said. "You'll get it on the first day," Trump reportedly said, according to one dinner attendee.
On Biden's first day in office in 2021, he reinstated or strengthened over 100 environmental regulations that Trump weakened or removed during his tenure. With only six months left until the election, which will likely be a rematch between Trump and Biden, the Biden administration has been working to roll out 10 new environmental rules including increasing the cost for Big Oil to drill on public lands.

He ends all war on earth almost instantly.
Russia has received $91billion/yr in added oil revenues alone thanks to climate hoax oil.
Stupid. He doesn’t need donations from BigOil to follow through on eliminating all those economy-stifling regulations.
It also impoverishes Iran and Russia to the point of being unable to threaten a large swarm of gnats.
I call him Sheldon Whorehouse.
The Dem reasoning is absurd. A candidate’s public promise at a fundraiser to carry out declared policies that will benefit an affected industry if he elected is not corrupt. It is normal politics.
Yep. Democrats do this kind of stuff all the time.
It’s been evident for some time that actions regarded at de rigueur for Democrats will be pursued as crimes if performed by patriots. Cancelling executive orders, a Day-1 Biden action, would be an impeachable offense by Trump - in their willful/debilitated delusion of reality.
It’s the core of the leftist’s “double-or-nothing standards.” If it’s not a double-standard then they have no standards at all. Cite whichever section of whatever penal code you wish, the only punishable offense in the current regime is opposing the current regime. We used to call that a banana republic.
He should have proposed cancelling their student debt instead.
EC
We still do.
Trump needs to find a way to crush these parasites when they surface and destroy them
So. Standard campaign promises. Now worthy of investigation?
Nothing illegal about a promise but the democrats are working on it.
If it were illegal Biden would have been prison 50 years ago.
No investigations to Biden undoing everything Trump did?
Trump is going to do that anyway, whether the oil companies contribute to his campaign or not. He’s already said so.

Yet “The Big Guy” gets payouts from foreign governments including China and there are crickets in the media.
It is time to play cowboys and Democrats!
