Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson on Thursday was skeptical that federal prosecutors would open a criminal case against cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried because of his political donations to Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections. “Biden’s Justice Department seems not very interested in a man called Sam Bankman-Fried. Why is that? Well, maybe because [SBF] was the Democratic Party’s second biggest donor… no warrant has been issued. Why? Well, because he’s a political ally.” New Twitter owner Elon Musk similarly ballyhooed any possibility SBF would be hauled into court, tweeting “SBF was a major Dem donor, so no investigation.”
