Trump's FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups

[douglas9]

The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

“The FBI has told Citibank that recipients of EPA climate grants are being considered as potentially liable for fraud. That is, the Trump administration wants to criminalize work on climate science and impacts,” the @capitolhunters account wrote Wednesday on X. “An incoming administration not only cancels federal grants but declares recipients as criminals. All these grantees applied under government calls FOR ENVIRONMENTAL WORK, were reviewed and accepted. Trump wants to jail them.“

The Appalachian Community Capital Corporation, the Coalition for Green Capital, and the DC Green Bank are just some of the nonprofits being targeted.

6. Show me the enacted law that has been broken

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. It's only possibly fraud if they can prove in court climate change is not happening. They can't.

And the anthropogenic angle.

But winning is not necessary for their aims. Costing progressives money defending themselves is one aim. Suppressing climate activism is another, as is getting people to obey in advance.

I hope there is a way to get this adjudged as "malicious litigation" and get full costs with interest paid to the progressive groups victim to this idiotic crusade the maga-tRump regime is pursuing.

7. May Jimmy Carter's spirit

visit Chump and Musk tonight like the ghosts who visited Scrooge. And no one on Earth would cry if it killed them both.

10. If tRump dies in office of natural causes, the hagiography from maga would be intense

Saint Ronnie would pale in comparison.

So yes, maga would cry.

[Brenda]

12. Depends on how fast maga feel some pain.

Each and every one of them is going to be affected by the wrecking crews destruction.

I'm seeing a lot of regrets from that sphere already. Maybe the mentally ill and drug addled maga will cry but that's about it.

11. I suspect

That internecine violence will ensue as FBI agents who remain loyal to their oaths will refuse to participate in this charade. Patel and his lackey Bongino would be a good place to start🤞

13. That FUCKER!

[HarryM]

14. This is the action of a dictator

He and his minions need to be removed from their positions

[Owens]

15. Trump really hated Carter

[Ray Bruns]

17. Trump hates Carter because Carter was everything he isn't.

[SunSeeker]

16. The fraud accusation is the necessary legal pretext for seizing the money, which is what the feds really want.

They obviously have no evidence of fraud, otherwise they'd be arresting people.

[HarryM]

18. To Hell With That

He can't catch us all. Thia is the act of a damn tin pot dictator.
They shall never stop the Environmental Movement.
We have to take care of the Earth.
There is no plan(et) B
And don't tell me we are going to colonize Mars. That's a pipe dream.

This will have severe repercussions worldwide.
There will be more environmental organizations popping up.
There will be numbers that they will not be able to control.
Time to organize more for Mother Earth.

[calimary]

19. I'm in.

We HAVE TO take care of the Earth. It's the only home we have.
