Trump’s fake green card golf course scam being investigated by FBI and not ICE stuns ex-US Attorney

 

Appearing on MSNBC’s AM Joy, a former U.S. Attorney raised his eyebrows at the news that the FBI is involved in investigating fake green cards reportedly supplied to undocumented immigrants by employees at President Donald Trump’s New Jersey golf course.

 

Speaking with fill-in host, Margaret Radford, former prosecutor Guy Lews said that Trump may not be personally held responsible for his employees breaking federal law — but added that it was curious that the FBI was called in.

“What are the possibilities that the president actually knew about this? What are the legal implications if, in fact, he did?” Radford asked.

 

“I think it’s probably unlikely that the president himself actually knew about it, at least I’m not seeing any evidence that the president was involved in it or knew about it,” Lewis admitted. “However, that doesn’t mean that it’s not a problem for the president and, certainly, the golf course itself. It is a federal offense, you cannot hire illegal immigrants to work, it’s a federal law and we dealt with it all the time here in South Florida when I was U.S. Attorney.”

 

“The thing I found that was fascinating about this is that it’s not ICE, Immigration Customs Enforcement, investigating this,” he explained. “They would normally be the organization that would investigate this kind of offense.”

 

“Is this is a departure from the standard procedure?” the MSNBC host pressed.

 

“What I’m hearing, and I can be corrected, but from what I’m hearing, it’s the FBI who are over there snooping around asking questions about this. That in and of itself, very unusual,” he replied.

Retired Gen. McChrystal: Trump Lies, Is Immoral

 

Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal delivered an unflinching rebuke of President Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t think the president “tells the truth” — and that he’s immoral.

 

In an interview aired Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week,” McChrystal, said the resignation letter of Defense Secretary James Mattis ought to give Americans “pause.”

 

“We ought to ask what kind of commander in chief he had that Jim Mattis that, you know, the good Marine, felt he had to walk away,” he said.

 

McChrystal said he’d ask a future nominee “to look in the mirror and ask them if they can get comfortable enough with President Trump's approach to governance, how he conducts himself, with his values and with his world view, to be truly loyal to him as a commander in chief and going forward.”

 

“If there's too much of a disconnect, then I would tell him, I think it's — it would be a bad foundation upon which to try to build a successful partnership with that job,” he added.

Retired Gen. Stanley McChrystal delivered an unflinching rebuke of President Donald Trump, saying he doesn’t think the president “tells the truth” — and that he’s immoral.

 

In an interview aired Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week,” McChrystal, said the resignation letter of Defense Secretary James Mattis ought to give Americans “pause.”

 

“We ought to ask what kind of commander in chief he had that Jim Mattis that, you know, the good Marine, felt he had to walk away,” he said.

“If there's too much of a disconnect, then I would tell him, I think it's — it would be a bad foundation upon which to try to build a successful partnership with that job,” he added.

 

For himself, he said he’d say “no” if asked to join the administration.

 

“I think it's important for me to work for people who I think are basically honest, who tell the truth as best they know it,” he said, adding about Trump: “I don't think he tells the truth.”

 

Pressed on if he thought Trump is immoral, McChrystal replied: “I think he is.”

 

“Everyone has to make their own judgment,” he said. “But what I would ask every American to do is, again, stand in front of that mirror and say, ‘what are we about? Am I really willing to throw away or ignore some of the things that people do that are — are pretty unacceptable, normally, just because they accomplish certain other things that we might like?’

 

“If we want to be governed by someone we wouldn't do a business deal with because their — their background is so shady, if we're willing to do that, then that's in conflict with who I think we are. And so I think it's necessary at those times to take a stand.”
