BedMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. A top official in Donald Trump's administration responsible for deporting migrants

and separating families and executing on his depraved plan. He was caught on video accepting a giant bag of cash of $50,000 back in September of 2024 in a sting operation operated by the FBI under Joe Biden and Christopher Ray, the FBI director, Tom Holman. You know him. He goes on television like the Grim Reaper, We're talking about crushing the souls of families and sending American children who are U.S. citizens

to countries they never were born in or that they even know as a punishment for their parents being migrants in America. That Tom Homan. What Tom Homan apparently didn't know is that there was an FBI sting operation. He wasn't the target of it, mind you. Somebody else was the target of the sting operation by the public integrity section of the Department of Justice. They were trying to get to the bottom of who was dirty and who was clean, who has taken bribes and who was rejecting them, you know, that kind of thing. And that Target said that Tom Holman was dirty, that he was accepting bags of cash, literally, it turns out, in return for promises of quid pro quo, giving contracts at the federal level or directing work in a certain direction behind the scenes if he returned to power along with Donald Trump. Trump. So the FBI decided, well, that's interesting. Tom Holman had been in the Obama administration. He was already, at that point, had been tapped in September of 2024 before the election. He had already been tapped to be the borders are that Donald Trump bragged about. We're going to have the borders are. Tom Holman over here. He's going to deport 11 million people with billions of dollars that I'm going to give them my big beautiful bill, that Tom Homan. And so now we've got the new reporting coming out of the, coming out of

of MSNBC. And you want to know if the reaction of MAGA is to it, like people in the ecosphere, like Megan Kelly, we don't care about the bribery allegations against Tom Holman. Not that he didn't do it. Not that there's not a videotape that Pam Bondi and Cash Patel are sitting on. Yet another scandal lot has now returned to Washington with Donald Trump in charge. Not that he didn't do it. Not that there's a defense. Not that it was an AI generated video of him. That wasn't really him. No, we don't care. Well, you seem to care a lot when you spent an inordinate amount of money and taxpayer dollars in time at political capital to go after Joe Biden's kid, Hunter Biden, who wasn't even an elected official, because he didn't change his last name and he got work as a result.

I know, we know you don't care. You've got a multi-billion dollar heist going on being operated out of the White House as we speak, and you're not doing a thing about it. You weren't about Hunter Biden getting some sort of stipend to be on a board? How about Tom Holman, literally taking a bag of cash on Michael Popock? You're here on the Midas Touch Network on Unlegal AF. Let's get to Tom Holman, shall we? Now, just to remind you who Tom Homan is, besides the fact that he recently said, the allegations are BS.

Here's Mr. Charming now. So you can remember who this guy is. Let's play the clip. Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families? Of course, there's. Families can be deported together. Why should a child who is an American citizen have to pack up and move to a country that they don't know?

Because their parent, obviously, entered the country illegally, had a child knowing he was in the country illegally, so he created that crisis. That guy, borders are, 11 million people here, just working, 99% of them just trying to make a living, trying to stay in the United States legally, paying billions in dollars in taxes, trying to give their children a better life than some of the other countries they came from. And Tom Holman has made it his mission to crush their souls, which is ironic that he's not a clean guy, apparently. So here's what happened. Back in

September of 2024, oh, remember those days when Joe Biden was in office and Merrick Garland, you may not have liked him, but he was at least the department of, he was at least an adult at the Department of Justice that wasn't corrupt, and you had Christopher Ray running the FBI. Remember those days? This is where the screen would get all wavy, and we'd think back on some sort of wayback machine moment of the golden era. Yeah, then, September, FBI gets a tip from the target. Let's be frank, the target rolls over on Tom Holman to save himself. Okay, drops a dime on Tom Oman. If he's not dirty, he's got nothing to worry about. So they decide, that's interesting. That's more than one person, apparently, that told us about Tom Oman.

So they say, let's do, and here's the least sophisticated sting operation of all time. This is like basic. This is like, what was the thing that we used to have as kids where you can make a little brownie with a heat lamp? It wasn't Betty Crocker. It was like a little oven when you were a kid. You made a brownie with like almost no ingredients. It's like that. It was very simple. Somebody will put down what oven I'm thinking about. Take a bag of cash. Put, take a back, sorry, put $50,000 cash in it. Knock on the door or email or set up a meeting with Tom Holman. Act like your federal contractors looking to get more federal contracts. Start that conversation with Tom Holman while the video cameras are recording and audio is being recorded. At some point, asked for the quid pro question. If we give you money, will you get us more contracts? Get the target, in this case, Tom Holman, to admit that he will. Give him bag of cash.

Now, Tom Holman said, I want to know where that bag of cash is today, by the way. I mean, I'm dead serious. Because from the reporting I'm seeing from MSNBC in other places, he took the money. Now, what he said to the federal contractors, the Fagasy federal contractors, was that I'll hold it in escrow to see if I get, you know, come back into office, with Trump. And if I do, at the end of my term, you know, then I'll keep the money and you'll get to see if I page it back, you know, with new contracts. You know, some version of that. That does not sanitize this or whitewash it or money launder it. It's not any better because he was going to call it an escrow. Where's the escrow? Where's the money? Where's the receipts? This is what the Oversights committees on the House and the Senate have to get down to the bottom of with Tom Holman. Okay. It's on video. There's a Western District of Texas grand jury. that's up and running to indict him. And it gets killed because, let's be frank,

if occasionally Joe Biden was a little bit too late. September is a little bit late in the game to be going after Tom Oman and then have Donald Trump come back into power. Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, Emil Bovi, who's now on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, kill the investigation of Tom Homan. I mean, literally kill it.

They don't want to know about public corruption. They don't want to know about... I defy you to tell me who's the head of the public integrity section of the Department of Justice. I don't think anybody exists. I think it's a cutout doll. It's a cutout, an inflatable doll, whatever, sitting in that chair.

Nobody's doing public corruption, going after elected officials and federal and state officers to see if they're on the take. And the Trump administration, the entire administration is on the take.

So what's the reaction in maga world? Tom Homan says bullshit. You know, I don't know. I don't know which part is the BS, the cash, the bag that was in, the fact that you accepted it? Are you claiming entrapment? Are you saying the video's not of you? And then Megan Kelly comes out with the best, I said at the top, which is, we don't care. We like our federal officials to be corrupt. That's the brand of federal official that we can get

behind. I love the we don't care. Yeah, we get you don't care at all. Broad daylight. Now, let me give you the cross-examination that should happen in the, House in the Senate. And I'm volunteering my services as a pretty good cross-examiner on my feet of somebody like Tom Homan to either committee. I'm happy Ted Liu, Jamie Raskin, Congresspeople, senators, happy to help. Here's how I would walk through this as a practicing litigator. Mr. Holman, where were you in September of 2024? Do you remember having a meeting with people that you thought were federal contractors that identify themselves as federal contractors? Do you You remember that meeting, sir.

And during that meeting, there were discussions about the federal contractors wanting more business, right? Now, at that moment, you were not a federal officer. You were not a federal official. You were tapped to be the borders are, but you weren't the borders are. Can we agree on that? Yes. Okay. Now, you had the meeting.

You took the meeting. And during the meeting over a cop salad or whatever, whatever you added up having that day, eventually the conversation turned to federal contracts. Isn't that right, sir? And at some point, these quote unquote federal contractors offered you money in return for you directing work their way. Isn't that right, sir? He can say whatever he wants at this point. And at some point, during the lunch, there was literally a bag of cash that they handed to you and you accept it, right, sir?

Did you ever look in that bag of cash? Would it surprise you to know that there were $50,000 in that bag of cash? Now, you didn't know that that meeting was being recorded. You didn't know that there'd be a video evidence of it, did you, sir? So you were very open and honest during that discussion about your intentions. Now, during that meeting, you told the undercover agents that you were going to keep, who you thought were federal contractors, that you were going to keep the money in escrow. You're going to keep it in a trust account until, you know, because you're an honest guy, right, sir?

Just to make sure you got back into office, I guess you were going to return it if you didn't, right, sir? You weren't going to keep it for retirement fund or your grandchildren's college fund. and then you'd only spend it or take it out of escrow or trust after you were in office for a number of years. Is that right, sir? Did you give them a receipt for it? Were they named beneficiaries on the bank accounts that you deposited the money in to make sure, was there a written contractor agreement to this effect? Now, what you didn't know is those were FBI undercover agents, did you, sir? And this was part of a sting.

Now, since then, somebody did tell you in the Department of Justice and the FBI sometime after Donald Trump, back into power, that there was an open investigation against you for bribery and under a sting operation, that there was even a grand jury in the Western District of Texas that was impanled about you. Isn't that right, sir? And that got killed by the Department of Justice in the FBI. Not because you weren't guilty, but because they wanted to benefit you and cover up your corruption.

Isn't this yet another example, sir, of a cover up of corruption within the Trump administration that you're a party to? Tadda. How long was that? Two minutes? Three minutes. And see, there in cross-examination, you don't care what the response is. Because you want the focus to be on the question. The hum-the-hum-the-hum-da-hum-as in between don't matter. Because he's dead to rights. Now we've got to use this platform. We've got to use Midas-Touch and all of our other powers joining together to go after the video. We need the video. Pam Bondi's never going to release that video. Just like she's not going to release volume two of Jack Smith's Moral Lago investigation results, which she killed as Merrick Garland handed it to her. She threw it into a fireplace, I'm sure,

an incinerator deep in the heart of the Department of Justice. And just like she's never releasing the Epstein files, she's never released the Tom Homan video. She's never releasing any of this. Yeah. But Pam Bondi better watch out. out. Because if Donald Trump's, who's clinging on to power with his, with his fingernails, if that slips out of his grasp because of all the overreaching, because the race that he's already

identified for you, we got to hurry up, Pam, and indict my political enemies, it's because he has a sense that he's on a very short track in a very short time interval before he loses his grip at the midterms, because all the polls that are in the trash, all the consumer confidence that's in the trash, all of the tariff polling around his economic policy in the trash, if that not only catches up to him but surpasses him, he's done. He's toast up to and including the midterms. And if that happens, Pam Bondi, you're no longer the Attorney General of the United States. You're more like the Nixon Attorney General. Erlickman, who went to jail for 17 to 19 months. And that's what she's worried about as well. So keep doing Donald Trump's bidding, Pam, and sacrificing your ethics, if you ever had any,

your professional duties, your officer of the court responsibilities on the altar of Donald Trump's lust for sheer naked power. I'm glad you're all here with me. I might as touch. I'm Michael Popak. I do about, let's say,
