MSNOW says J6'ers are involved in this. 

for myself, I seriously hope that trump and his maga sycophants attempt to throw the US constitution out the window for the midterms, so that I won't feel bound by due process when dealing with them on an individual basis, and they can deservedly fall victim to some real traditional american values when it comes to their unlawful imposition of theocracy, white supremacy, and fascism. 

"America is now a racket"

Political pundit Tim Miller

People need to go to prison for this.

Isn’t this the administration that is supposed to be rooting out fraud?

Deceived donors   by giving them the wrong banking details, potentially committing wire fraud

If people thought they were donating to America250 but their money went to Trump's bullshit instead, then the Justice Department should be all over it. Oh, wait...

This is the executive summary of the From Vanity To Insanity report, which can be seen in its entirety here

freedom250_oversight_report1

In 2016, Congress established an independent, nonpartisan U.S. 
Semiquincentennial Commission tasked with organizing celebrations in 
honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 
America250 was created to lead the celebrations on behalf of every American, 
insulated from the political whims of any particular administration. It was designed 
to leverage public-private partnerships without any quid-pro-quos or outsized 
political influence infecting the celebrations. The National Park Foundation—the 
official philanthropic partner of the National Park Service for more than five 
decades—stood ready to channel private generosity toward the parks and public 
spaces where the nation would gather. 

But under President Donald Trump, this anniversary has been hijacked and 
perverted into a hotbed of corruption and self-enrichment. This interim report 
documents how the machinery built for a national commemoration was converted, 
deliberately and over a period of months, into an apparatus for raising and spending 
money in service of the President’s ego, political ideology, and pet projects.
The White House first attempted to bend America250 to its purposes, 
demanding spectacles focused on promoting President Trump rather than the 
country while forcing partisan content, campaign-style fundraisers, and favored 
contractors onto an organization Congress designed to serve the whole country, not 
one party or president. America250 pushed back against the President’s demands 
and their resistance carried a price.

When America250 would not yield, the White House created a replacement: 
Freedom 250 LLC, a shadow organization capable of infiltrating the celebrations and 
injecting America’s 250th with Trump’s extreme, partisan agenda. Lodged within 
the National Park Foundation, the new entity could exploit the credibility and donor 
relationships of a beloved public charity while operating outside the transparency 
and accountability requirements Congress wrote into the semiquincentennial 
framework.

What followed is documented in the body of this report. Freedom 250 may 
have conducted wire fraud by luring unsuspecting donors who intended to support 
the congressionally chartered foundation and giving them Freedom 250 bank 
information instead. Presidential access was sold to those willing to pay for it. A 
false history of the country was imposed to suit the President’s distorted vision of 
the past. Christian nationalist ideology was injected into events, eroding the wall 
of church-state separation. Loose logo licensing let Freedom 250 brand deeply 
racist merchandise under the government’s banner. An organization that was once 
responsible for planning events surrounding the January 6th insurrection has now 
been contracted for America’s 250th celebrations. Taxpayer dollars were funneled 
to the President’s preferred contractors. Americans’ private, personal information 
has been harvested by Trump’s allies for political purposes.

This is an interim report. Significant questions remain unanswered, beginning 
with the complete donor lists and the ultimate disposition of the funds that 
Freedom 250 has raised and spent. But the record already assembled supports 
a conclusion that should alarm the American people. The national celebration 
that belonged to the entire country was hijacked to serve one man’s vanity, and 
the methods they’ve used and perfected—from capturing nonprofits to exploiting 
interested donors, diverting public funds, and dismantling independent entities—
have paved the way for the ultra-wealthy and politically connected to take 
advantage of the American people.

Despite Congressional Republican having an abundance of evidence and 
knowledge of this corruption, the majority party has refused to conduct oversight 
to uncover the truth for the American people and hold the Trump administration 
accountable.

This report seeks to record what was done with America’s 250th birthday so we 
can dismantle this playbook for corruption before it becomes a permanent practice of goverment

So what else is new?

The problem is that the American system of government has always assumed that a person like Donald Trump could never get into his current position, so it got too comfortable with what it saw as normal.  Then the most immoral and unethical person in the country got control of enough American minds that it weaseled into that position.  Now, every loophole is being exploited in ways nobody would have ever expected.  The fox will be guarding the henhouse until the fox is destroyed.
