Following a bombshell New York Times report that Don Jr. and Eric Trump will profit off a billion-dollar mining deal President Donald Trump signed with Kazakhstan, there has been much discussion of the family’s rampant corruption. Now, one person formerly in Trump’s orbit has bad news for the Trump boys, who likely expect their father's pardon should they ever face charges: they can still face prosecution, and face other more spiritual forms of punishment. This is according to lawyer George Conway, ex-husband of Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway and former Republican turned Democratic congressional candidate, who on Tuesday asserted that the president’s sons’ Kazakhstan grift is “flat-out criminal.” When asked whether he thought any of those associated with the scheme — which in addition to Trump’s sons includes the sons of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum — would “see the inside of a jail cell,” Conway shared his thoughts on the matter. “Some will,” he asserted. “Many federal offenses can be charged under state law, and many federal offenses involving activity in foreign nations can be prosecuted under foreign law. Trump's pardon power can't prevent these prosecutions. Also — many of these individuals will burn in Hell.”Conway posted this over an explanation of the Kazak deal from Representative Mike Levin (D-CA), who laid out the extent of the gift clearly.“The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan,” he explained. “Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.” Then their sons got involved: “Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20 percent stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.”In other words, “The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in. Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.” All told, there are nearly $9 billion in federal tax dollars going to these companies, noted Levin, saying, “This is the most corrupt administration in American history.”News of this corruption has prompted outrage even from those who are typically in Trump’s corner. On Tuesday, the New York Post — which usually reports in the president’s favor — said the deal “stinks to high heaven,” asserting that “the Lutnick and Trump boys have been sloshing around in the muck since their dads came to power 18 months ago. They’ve profited handsomely from cryptocurrency deals while the government their fathers control were setting crypto policy.” And on Wednesday, conservative media personality Megyn Kelly told an Australian news outlet, “I don’t feel great about our leaders, I’m not gonna lie. I’m disappointed with some aspects of the Trump presidency for sure, like the Iran war, that’s number one…it’s so grifty, I’m not gonna lie, it’s grifty. You know, the Trump family is grifty. There’s been like story after story about all the money his sons are making off of the government, these government contracts they’re getting, all that. I can’t stand that stuff.”

Fox News commentator and right-wing talk radio host Mark Levin lashed out at the Supreme Court's decision upholding their century-old birthright citizenship precedent — but swiftly got called out by experts and observers for getting a basic fact about the decision incorrect.Levin, who declared the ruling "one of the dumbest decisions I’ve seen" on "Hannity" after it was handed down, took to X to complain that "The 14th amendment was adopted by more than 2/3rds of the members of Congress and thereafter ratified by 3/4ths of the states. Yet, nowhere can the Court or its proponents point to all those elected representatives at the federal and state level who argued for birthright citizenship for the children of aliens — illegal aliens of all matter!"That issue, Levin said, "wasn’t even on their collective mind. They were dealing with Reconstruction, which was going poorly. No, this is not a constitutional decision. It’s a cowardly decision. An abomination giving constitutional protection to what is illegal conduct."There's just one problem, as many observers pointed out: the Supreme Court did, in fact, address the exact issue Levin is claiming they did not address."Mark Levin is either outright lying or tacitly admitting he did not read the decision, because the Court explicitly discussed in great detail how 'those elected representatives' intended the 14th Amendment would apply to children of immigrants," wrote American Immigration Council senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, quoting a passage from Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion that notes, "the bill's sponsor, Senator Lyman Trumbull, enthusiastically agreed with the bill's critics that it would make citizens of 'the children of Chinese and Gypsies born in this country.'""Tell me you didn't read the Roberts opinion without saying you didn't read that history lesson," wrote immigration attorney and Emory University law professor Charles Kuck."The history of the 14th Amendment is, literally, laid out extensively in the text of the majority opinion," wrote Tangle News founder Isaac Saul. "The entire first 20 pages is Roberts citing all the drafters of the 14th Amendment and their understanding exactly what they were doing. Does anyone read anymore?"
