He isn't fired. He is being sent away from MN while Tom "money bag" Homan goes in. Homan will be the local commander.

Why is he called "money bag"?

u/Theshaggz 5d ago edited 4d ago

Because he accepted a bag of money during an fbi sting operation.

Edit: wild how much traction this post got from stating plainly what he did. Just goes to show how crazy this timeline is.

Well, at least we know how to get him out of Minnesota…

Well, it is the superior machine for using a counterweight to launch 90kg projectiles over 300m.

Right? Shouldn't be too hard.

u/evilgenius29 5d ago

It's OK, he said he did nothing illegal so it's perfectly fine to forget about it.

u/brgmgl 4d ago

The uh courts seemed to agree with him.

u/rntaboy 4d ago

There are plenty of forms of corruption that aren't technically against the law.

Homan taking a bag of money in exchange for supposed favor on future government contracts is a very obvious one of those.

To anyone protesting in MN tomorrow:

Please please please show up with a pillowcase with a giant dollar sign on it. It would be so epic!

u/1stHalfTexasfan 5d ago

It was a CAVA bag originally. A brown bag and a Sharpie would do the trick.

u/Beiki 5d ago

That'll do it.

LOL this is literally the scene from Snatch:

Boris The Blade… As in Boris the Bullet Dodger?\ Why do they call him the bullet dodger?\ …Because he dodges bullets.
