I just sent this to Thom Tillis, linking this article by Graff. I am hoping that Tillis or someone in his office reads the whole article.

I have to acknowledge, the Trump appointments are pretty incredible. It is really terrific that guys like Bove and Homans were appointed and confirmed. Maybe a little like Joe Kennedy being appointed by FDR--they'll know all the gangsta tricks.

Similarly worrisome is the blockbuster news from investigative superstar Carol Leonnig that Trump’s border czar Tom Homan was investigated last year by the FBI for allegedly accepting $50,000 in cash, hidden inside a bag from the fast-casual restaurant Cava, from undercover FBI agents — an encounter that was recorded! The cash, apparently, was a payoff to get Homan’s help for the agents, who were pretending to be business executives interested in doing business with a second Trump administration, to land government contracts. The case was shut down when Trump came to power by none other than Trump hatchetman Emil Bove, his personal lawyer turned top Justice Department enforcer and now, recently, appointed to a lifetime federal judgeship.

Garrett Graff tells the story here:

What is truly remarkable is that those two may not even be the worst appointments your guy made and your party confirmed.
