Trump's next move?

He made a statement saying that he was not involved in the process of sending Abrego Garcia to a El Salvador prison, one resembling a concentration camp from another horrible era.

He feels the heat and does not want to take any responsibility for what happened. Never mind that he gave the tin-pot dictator of El Salvador $6 million dollars to imprison these people for a year. And he sat in the Oval Office and praised him.

In his statement, he said the DOJ and their lawyers are handling the situation. Which means Pam Bondi and her cadre of sycophants.

But Bondi will not want to take responsibility either. So what do they do then?

She will call Bukele, the dictator, and ask him to return Abrego Garcia back to America and to not put any blame on her or Trump. He will have to accept responsibility if he wishes to stay on the payroll.

It is a hot potato. Bukele will likely get an underling to release Abrego Garcia and will keep all blame away from Trump and the White House.

One of the standard G.O.P.-Krasnov strategies for never acting with honor or integrity.

Blame someone else (R).

Can M$M really whitewash this incident as all ok when Garcia returns? Like a soap opera episode?

I don't think so.

He's been pretty much invisible regarding El Salvador and this incident. This has been a Trump administration and Bondi DOJ cluster.
