In true Trumpian fashion Don Cornholeone removed himself and reprobate Jr. from the board of his recently minted media company mere weeks before the subpoenas started flying and the two of them left the hapless Devin Nunes to take the fall.
At least that is how it looks today…
“Donald Trump removed himself from the board of his Sarasota-based social media company, records show, just weeks before the company was issued federal subpoenas by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and a grand jury in Manhattan. Trump, the chairman of Trump Media and Technology Group, was one of six board members removed on June 8, state business records show.
Among the board members removed were Kashyap Patel, Trump’s former point man in the White House; Scott Glabe, a former assistant to Trump who was counsel for the media company; and Donald Trump, Jr.
Donald Trump’s social media company came under federal scrutiny almost immediately as his potential merger partner and Trump himself appeared to be running a scam to bilk investors out of their investments in his social media company.
It appears that the one person that Trump has not tried to protect is former Rep. Devin Nunes, who left the House to take a job as an executive with the company.
All this high finance stuff flies over my head but it appears the SEC suspects that the dumbass Don and the crooks he was in business with tried to capitalize the company prematurely.
Imagine that.
Here’s what some wiser (and funnier) people had to say about all this.
Probably you leave Nunes holding the ball bc he's not the brightest cow in the barn.

This was all probably udderly predictable, tho, so Nunes should have kept his day job, suing fake accounts on Twitter.

Devin Nunes must be so thrilled that he left his cushy job in Congress to go work for Trump’s social media company which is now under federal investigation.
Thoughts and prayers, you dumbass traitor.

Trump told Devin Nunes “hold the smoking hot gun while I tuck my shirt in” and ran with Junior. Devin Nunes cow must be mooing uncontrollably right now 😂😂

Devin Nunes gave up a career in politics for Donald Trump's failing Truth Social. Now Truth Social is going down the toilet with Nunes at the helm. Best karma I've seen in a long long time!

Tots and pears, Devin.
