Fridays with Nicole Sandler - emptywheel
Briefly

The podcast discussion by Nicole and her guest reflects on Trump's dealings with Zelenskyy, emphasizing the potential implications of the SEC's settlement with Justin Sun. This settlement follows allegations of bribery linked to a $30 million investment in Trump's crypto scheme amid the election. The hosts express that this development risks normalizing bribery in politics, particularly in the context of U.S.-Russia-Ukraine negotiations, ultimately questioning the integrity of U.S. democracy and its impact on global peace.
The SEC is moving to settle with Justin Sun, the Chinese-linked businessman who dumped $30 million into Trump's crypto scam during the election.
Once you do that, you've made bribery legal, which Pam Bondi and Chad Mizelle have been rushing to do in any case.
Once Russia has the luxury of bribing Trump, Ukraine was never going to win this 'negotiation.' The rest is just show.
America's sovereignty and world peace to pay for it all.
