Frank: not to minimize the alarming potential of these outlandishly large detention centers (ahem), I can't help wondering if these aren't "bridges to nowhere."

Lucrative federal contracts which DC legislators bring home to line the pockets of their large donors.

I'm theorizing that Stephen Miller the Nazi is pushing these because he genuinely wants to create gulags where his enemies (3/4 of our pop.) would go to die.

Trump, neck-deep in construction and organized crime from his early days in NYC, sees this as payoff to his construction-business donors.

No kidding Miller is serious. He is IMO the most evil member of this whole syndicate. But just because Miller wants it doesn't mean he's going to get it.

I like the way you think Charlie.

I hope you are correct. Miller is neither loveable nor does inspire loyalty any more than JD does.

This is a very “practical take”on the whys/where’s of the detention centers. Pretty lucrative it appears, but alarmingly expensive to the nation. It does open up, based upon what you revealed, current inhumane “jailing” of large numbers of people who seem ti get lost in terms of processing & detention center accountability. Modern versions of Gulags & Concentration camps I think. I wonder about the statistics of how many people have died & disappeared? Still concentration camps however.

I was chastized by my Republican Rep recently for using such strong rhetoric about these places as such language riled up the citizenry. I replied that he needed to visit some of these places for himself and get back to his constituents about the Centers. No response.

It's all so absolutely inhumane and cruel! I've also thought about those that we just haven't heard about. Jim Pattison, a Canadian businessman, opted out of his agreement after community backlash, and threats of boycotts. He did say that he was unaware who exactly was purchasing the building. It is infuriating and heartbreaking!

I have watched you for years on MSNBC and this is my first podcast of yours Ive listen to. If only we had someone of your stature running the FBI…I enjoyed and will continue to follow along. Thank you for your professionalism.

Don't trust Holman. He was a consultant for detention center company and took a bag of cash for bribe. This is a scam. The wsj's hit piece is to make you think Holman will be a good guy. Don't fall for it.

I call these the Trumpstein Files which I believe is accurate.

Frank Figliuzzi's avatar

May I use that phrase?

I would be very honored for you to use it, Frank! ☺️And a Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your wife! 🥰🌷

Thank you, for being so knowledgeable, DNI director went to Syria during the Biden administration, according to the media reports, back then. That is not good about, Mr. Kushner! Thank you it helps me gain a little more knowledge about being a law enforcement agent! I thought 💭 everything was kept in secret when this was done, especially national intelligence, or CIA! Please subscribe to Mr. Frank Figluizzi!

Until epstein and Kash Patel we probably all trusted the FBI, now knowing they had and did nothing with the epstein files for years and years...well they need an overhaul that's for sure

I heard on SM they will start tracking ppl who talk/post against ICE agents. Citizens risk arrest as a result

Frank Figliuzzi's avatar

They already are.
