Consultation with the Bahamas on the campaign finance charges in Bankman-Fried’s original extradition document last year were behind the decision as part of an effort to adhere to the legal obligations therein, Forbes reports.

The dems all got their money.

They had to put up a show for the investors who lost their money, but to those really in charge, the guy is a hero.

Of course he’s a Democrat super donor. Anyone who would donate to the right would get to be Bubba’s girlfriend.

Yet they will pursue frivolous made-up charges against an ex-President whom they hate.

Can’t be asking Dems to return the money Bankman-Fried gave them, now can we?

“The Bahamas notified the United States earlier today that The Bahamas did not intend to extradite the defendant on the campaign contributions count,” the DOJ letter said. “Accordingly, in keeping with its treaty obligations to The Bahamas, the Government does not intend to proceed to trial on the campaign contributions count.””

So, the POS is in the Bahamas?? I thought he was holed up in California. IMO, if his bail required him to stay in the US, the bail is forfeited now. Something smell not so good here. Is he being represented by Hunter’s legal team too??

D’Souza was harassed and convicted because of less than $20,000 yet this guy who bankrolled half of the Dems in DC gets away with it.

It’s sickening. Glad I moved to a conservative part of Montana so at least my daily life is freedom and hardly any government.

In other shocking news: Dog bites man. The sun rose this morning. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. Hunter Biden sells more “artwork.”
