The fed govt under Biden prosecuted fewer corp crime cases than in the last 30 yrs.

The Biden admin gave corp criminals a gift by allowing firms to avoid punishment & keep significant profits if they self-report their own wrongdoings.

Now: WORSE: Trump's directed his admin🚨to drop or pause >100 enfor actions agst corp misconduct. Corp lawbreakers will be off the hook is clear -esp when those corp lawbreakers are in favored IDUs or are admin insiders.

jacobin.comBiden Paved the Way for Trump’s Leniency on Corporate CrimeThe federal government under Joe Biden prosecuted fewer corporate crime cases than at any point in the last 30 years. Now the Trump administration is set to drop or pause more than 100 enforcement actions against corporate misconduct.

58 corps facing fed investigations & enforcement lawsuits gave $50M to Trump's inaug fund.

Cases against 11 of these corps🚨 have already been dismissed or withdrawn, & 6: halted.

#Trump lied: many voters believed inflation would be⬇️& he'd cut regs & tax rates, so that they'd be better off than under Biden. He has reduced regs & will cut tax rates, but only those that benefit he/donors. His intent, like in his 1st term, is to enrich he/family/donors.
