Kind of an interesting situation that just came to mind but couldn't discuss during Grand Jury term. So after the fires we (GJ) noticed that a lot of funds were allocated to the area but were being tracked by various sources outside of the area. I will not get into specifics as being specific would break the agreement (I think at least, better to be cautious) but yesterday I got to thinking about how much the POTUS/Feds put into cities like Baltimore as well and how easy it would be for them to basically track those funds much like they seemed to do after the fires out west.
This could be nothing of course but I am very due diligent about the investigatory process and it was always something that struck me as odd out west here about a few things having to do with fire funds from the fed and how they came in, where they went, and how the state appeared to be misappropriating them. So we (GJ) wrote a big write up about that very thing and suggested oversight but the more I thought about it the more I realized how easy it would be for the POTUS to spring a trap by giving them exactly what they wanted and then allowing them to misappropriate it and thus giving him a reason to remove the corruption in a much easier and public way.
Again, could be totally off base here but given what I personally saw during our GJ investigation and given what I have noticed recently with Baltimore grants I am starting to think he baited a trap and they walked right into it.
