Worth a watch.
If I had not taken a bag of cash and there was a story that I had, I would have stridently rebutted the story. Ingraham even gave him a bit of an opening in the sneering way she mentioned MSNBC. It must be a liberal hoax, right?
Indeed, technically speaking, there is nothing illegal about being given a bag of cash.
As such, he did nothing illegal because the DOJ has quashed the investigation and there will be no prosecution, and therefore no chance of a conviction. Since we are all innocent until proven guilty, he can claim not to have done anything unlawful.
Note that a complex investigation with evidence-gathering and then a formal process to seek an indictment, and a trial to determine guilt ot innocence is this quaint little thing called “due process.”
But it is, to me at least, remarkably damning that he didn’t deny, or try to explain, the bag o’ cash.
Keep in mind that this is the guy who regularly declares all undocumented persons in the country to be “criminals” and dangerous ones at that, without any due process. He facilitates their punishment without the presumption of innocence. Indeed, people like Kilmar Abrego Garcia have documents allowing them to be in the country, and that doesn’t matter.
But, hey, Homan is innocent because he is given not only the courtesy of due process as a general matter, but the great privilege of having allies in the federal government who will make an investigation go away.
