Aha! EDNY is investigating Drumpf's inauguration finance funny business

Barr’s switcheroo yesterday— when he sent Donoghue to DOJ to work on anti-Biden Ukraine deception to interfere with the election — also moved a DOJ guy (DuCharme) into the EDNY top prosecutor position instead of moving an EDNY deputy into place, as is the norm.

So I’ve been wondering what cases they’re trying to bury. Now comes one answer.

From the excellent Heather Cox Richardson’s daily missive:

Snip

Now politics: Today Attorney General William Barr, who is packing the Department of Justice with his own loyalists, announced the appointment of a new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Seth D. DuCharme will take over for Richard P. Donoghue, who will move to the main Justice Department to oversee investigations around the country. Both men are close to Barr. DuCharme has been working with John Durham, whom Barr has tapped to try to undermine the evidence in the Mueller Report. The EDNY has been investigating irregularities in the financing of Trump’s inauguration festivities.

and investigation into all these Trump's corruptions need to be restarted. We need proper investigation to be done and hold Trump and his stooges accountable.

where innocence and guilt are swiftly and fairly established*, and punishment meted out without delay so we could move on and feel justice had been served.

*Except in the case of Albert Speer, who got off too lightly
