The president used the term to describe Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan who crossed the border into the U.S. and has been charged with the murder of Laken Riley.
He structured (illegal) the arms deals so that they wouldn’t meet the minimum amount for congressional oversight. That would be the bending over backward, and illegal part.
the current security cooperation ecosystem is overwhelmingly subject to the will and preferences of the executive branch, and the ability of lawmakers to shape arms sales decisions or intercede in transfers they oppose is exceptionally circumscribed. President Biden’s use of the AECA’s emergency provision to transfer weapons to Israel despite grave humanitarian and human rights concerns is emblematic of an enterprise that is run by a narrowing set of stakeholders and without sufficient checks and balances that are key to democratic governance.
Structuring is when criminals make transactions intentionally splitting larger amounts into a series of smaller sums to avoid scrutiny from law enforcement or compliance obligations. In other words, criminals strategically structure deposits just under the threshold to prevent unwanted attention.
I know what structuring is. And Biden is absolutely NOT doing that. So I’m here to call you out of your new flavor of the week misinformation campaign.

If his conscience worked he wouldn’t be bending over backwards to illegally supply weapons of war to a country engaged in a genocide.
It’s commonly understood that injecting one’s opinion into a discussion that requires facts, is it poor taste.
However, in the interest of fair play, how about you go ahead and prove that Biden is “bending over backwards” to “illegally” supply weapons of war.
Provide evidence that:
A) He’s “bending over backwards
-and
B) It’s illegal.
Otherwise, admit that you’re here to spread false information. So we can flag your comment as propaganda.
He structured (illegal) the arms deals so that they wouldn’t meet the minimum amount for congressional oversight. That would be the bending over backward, and illegal part.
Could you show us a source that shows he did this?
In the waning days of 2023, the Biden administration twice invoked a rarely used emergency authority to bypass congressional review of more than $250 million in weapons sales to Israel.
Thank you.
It wasn’t illegal. Nor was it bending over backwards. Stop with the misinformation.
Also you’ve provided no evidence to support your opinion.
Do you even know what structuring means lol?
Do you know what illegal means lol?
Let me help you out, friend;

The act itself is illegal.
In the waning days of 2023, the Biden administration twice invoked a rarely used emergency authority to bypass congressional review of more than $250 million in weapons sales to Israel. The two transfers, one for 120mm tank shells and the other for 155mm artillery shells, come amidst growing concern over the severe humanitarian toll of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and mounting criticism of the Biden administration’s seemingly unrestrained and unconditioned material support for the war effort.

Was thinking as I read the prior comment, “working handlers.”
