Once upon a time, before he was a Senator, X worked for a law firm that helped a shady developer score $43 million in government funding. When X left the firm and became a legislator, he helped the developer get another $14 million in taxpayer funds, with $855,000 in fees for his former boss and the developer.
In return, the slumlord funneled at least a quarter million dollars to Senator X’s campaigns. He also enabled the Senator to buy a $1.56 million mansion by purchasing an adjacent lot the seller also owned and insisted on selling at the same time.
The developer had already been indicted on 16 counts of fraud and extortion.
After receiving $1500 from a radical priest, the Senator scored $225,000 for the priest’s church. For $5,000 in donations, $1000 each from straw donors, he steered $75,000 to a dubious charity. In exchange for at least $2,300, Senator X helped an Iraqi official land a lucrative contract to train security personnel.
When he was elected to the U.S. Senate, X’s wife’s salary as VP for Community Relations at a prestigious university hospital was bumped up by nearly $200,000 to $317,000. Despite two Ivy-League degrees, Mrs. X was unable to write a coherent sentence in English. This was not a problem, as her chief responsibility was to oversee a program that steered unprofitable patients to other hospitals in the community. The position had not existed before Mrs. X was appointed, and was terminated when she resigned. The Senator later scored $12 million for the hospital.
Cut to the present.
Senator Y accepted $300,000 in donations and some plane rides from a doctor on whose behalf he intervened with the Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency.

Of course selling their services for contributions is what members of Congress do for a living. No Senator or Representative is listed by charitynavigator.org. Still, these cases were a bit egregious.
Earlier this month, Senator Y was indicted for bribery. Senator X returned some of the campaign contributions and confessed his behavior was “boneheaded,” but was never charged with any crime.
Can we do some DNA testing?
The Democrat media did absolutely no vetting on Sen. Obama. He was half-Black and a Democrat, so they didn’t care that he and his wife had a very shady past. After all, that same media had covered up the record of the Clintons for eight years, so they had experience in ignoring criminal activity.
Next, let’s catalog the crimes of Sen. Harry Reid.
All democrats?
X—Obama
Y—Menendez
Yes.
RE: All democrats?
Yes, both democrats. But you knew that. And I bet you know who they are.
Isn’t the first senator’s real name actually “Barack X”?
obama and Menendez. Menendez had the temerity to oppose obama on Iran. Therefore he must be punished.
Will we ever know who it is that tells the press, ‘Go after this one but leave that one alone”?
The rule is: If it's a Republican, the Press is the Prosecution;
if it's a Democrat, the Press is the Defense.
This is the most corrupt government we have ever had since 1789......................
Only if they've figured out how to talk from beyond the grave.
Consider ex Democrat Senator, former Democrat governor of New Jersey, major campaign contribution bundler for Barack Obama in 2008, and former CEO of Goldman Sachs Jon Corzine who as CEO of MF Global in 2011 authorized the improper transfer of customer account money to cover speculative derivatives trading by the firm. This action resulted in the loss of $1.6 billion to the shareholders. It was essentially theft and gross violation of fiduciary duty. Yet Jon Corzine is a free man not fearing the arm of the law.

I wonder what they have on justice Roberts. It seems the business of Washington is to get dirt on everyone, then blackmail and extort them.
