  1. It’s worth reproducing [what Josh Marshall had to say about this:](https://bsky.app/profile/joshtpm.bsky.social/post/3lj7di4bihc2h)

    > First of many, but here we have a completely manufactured criminal investigation. One career prosecutor already resigned over it. Goal is simply to claw back $20 billion in Biden era climate money. Open and shut corruption.
    >
    > Very important here that Citibank appears to be extra-legally locked down the funds at the behest of the Trump administration. It’s so transparently corrupt judge wouldn’t sign off on a freeze.
    >
    > We learn here that Emil Bove, who’s emerging as Trump’s point man for corrupt legal schemes tried to get another US Atty’s office to empanel a grand jury. But got refused. Lots afoot here.
