So FIFA got rid of the bribery charge from this administration by bribing this administration with a pointless award. Cool, cool.
The charge was ‘You didn’t bribe me’ and obviously now that they have, the charge has been dropped.
Corrupt criminals helping other corrupt criminals.
Now please media, ask the players what they think of that. Even if the average soccer player is an ignorant, please ask: laughing assured.
They aren’t even trying to hide the corruption at this point.
Why bother hiding it? It’s not like Americans are doing anything about it.
If this goes much farther, in a few months they might spend a weekend waving signs around!
Let’s be fair, it’s very difficult to organise this type of thing. It’s not as if we are living in an age of instant communication and information…
It’s going to get much worse.
Consider, now that a number of high profile individuals and corporations have paid Trump off - those same people are going to be hawkish about others paying that price, since they’ll feel it isn’t fair they ‘had’ to but others don’t.
Now it’s not just a deal under the table, the players want to see the bribe happening, to ensure “fairness”.
We’re in for a hell of a ride.
When have they ever tried to hide it?
The news has prompted scrutiny online, though there is no evidence of any connection between the award and prosecutors’ move to dismiss the charges.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
But it steps like a goose.
You got to hand it to Infantino. I thought that going lower then the “I feel a migrant worker” speech was impossible, but the cut off hands dooming earth award for Trump might just do it.
This administrations brand is to sell government work (or non work) for personal favours and there literally accepting “exposure” as payment to signal how normalised they made it.
If you are a big enough name they don’t care how petty the bribe is. As long as it shows the world that they are open for this kind off business.
Every bribe, no matter how small is pure profit if you never owned what you’re selling.
Corrupt as fuck
And there it is.
My brain cannot handle this headline. What is “under scrutiny” modifying here?
The dropping of the charges.
Perhaps a headline of “Scrutiny of Drop of FIFA Bribery Charge After Trump Given Peace Prize” would be better?
So that’s what it is about.
CorRUptiOn!

These prosecutions are not consistent with the current prosecutorial priorities of the United States, which direct the Department of Justice’s resources into Making America Safe Again.
So charges are dropped not because he seems innocent, but because of political direction of justice now which must be focused on deporting innocent immigrants and building Reich 4.0
