Trump’s justice department is considering a non-prosecution agreement, through which Boeing would not need to plead guilty

Boeing is set to avoid prosecution in a fraud case sparked by two fatal crashes of its bestselling 737 Max jet that killed 346 people, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The US Department of Justice is considering a non-prosecution agreement, relatives of the victims were told on Friday, through which the US aerospace giant would not be required to plead guilty.

Representatives of the crash victims’ families expressed outrage, describing the proposal as “morally repugnant” after a tense call with senior justice department officials.

      So they’re getting paid to short cut the build process of air force one to avoid the consequences of their previous shirt cut efforts?

      Solid logic there.
