Oh and DJTjr's partner on the questionable oil refinery project is a piece of work.

NEW: The DOJ was criminally investigating the companies of W. Va.'s MAGA Senator Jim Justice.

After a decade+ of nonstop pollution offenses, GOP Sen. Jim Justice's coal empire learned earlier this year that it was under federal criminal investigation.
But before prosecutors could gather crucial evidence, Todd Blanche's office told them "pencils down."
