MEDIA: Navy Reserve officer convicted in Afghan visa bribery scheme

Alison Bath for Stars and Stripes on whether NeverBackDown.ORG's Ken
Cuccinelli and Steve Cortes advised Casey DeSantis to make it Ron's
priority securing the permission of David McIntosh's ClubForGrowth.ORG
to seize Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM campaign bullhorn to remind
legacy American proles in Iowa and New Hampshire how many Afghans
Donald Trump invited to live with him at Mar-a-Lago:

| In one case, investigators alleged that Pittmann, a Seabee reservist
| for at least 20 years whose service included time in Afghanistan,
| received at least $1,500 for three letters, according to court
| documents. He also received $2,000 transferred to his bank account
| in July 2018 as payment for a fake invoice he created to hide the
| transaction, the indictment alleged. Each year, Afghan citizens who
| served as translators or otherwise helped the U.S. military during
| the war that lasted from 2001 to 2021 are offered a limited number
| of Special Immigrant Visas by the State Department. As American
| forces were pulling out of Afghanistan in August 2021, the collapse
| of the U.S.-backed government in Kabul triggered a frenzied exodus
| of people trying to flee the Taliban takeover.

Has Alejandro Mayorkas' DHS.GOV deported any Afghans and to where,
will Trump nominate NASSCOM.IN/AmericaFirstPolicy.COM's Chad Wolf to
succeed Mayorkas, and how much does Amy Swonger predict it will cost
Trump to convince John Thune (or Rick Scott) to consent?
