Yeah, for RTP there is nothing like the sweet smell of vindication.
The crew here at Rocky Top has been reporting for months about what appeared to be numerous shady deals involving Sen. Bob Corker. You can see those posts here:
- Special Report — The Corruption of Bob Corker (Part 1) – Coming up short in the ethics department. - The Corruption of Bob Corker – Part 1.5 – The Big Short, Corker Style. - Update: – Private Gains, Public Losses. - The Corruption of Bob Corker – Part 2 – Wells Fargo bails out Corker and his Cronies - Just think what the Russians could do if Corker is Secretary of State - The Corruption of Bob Corker — Part 3 - The Daily Caller channels Rocky Top on Corker. - Wells Fargo “whistle blower” site disappears.
Now comes best-selling author Jerome Corsi (remember John Kerry and the “Swift Boat” scandal?) who writes for InfoWars.com and who – thanks to President Trump – is now a credentialed White House press correspondent. Apparently using similar sources RTP relied on in its reporting, Corsi takes aim at Corker — and how.
- obamacare-corruption-senator-caught-shorting-stocks-he-demonized/ - Corker and the Obamacare looting scheme.
RTP loves that in the very first paragraph of his first article on the issue, Corsi refers to Corker as the “Senator from Wells Fargo.” Gee, we wonder where he got that idea?
What does all this mean? It means Corker may be in a world of hurt. Everywhere you turn, you see Corker making deals with either shady characters or just making questionable deals to make money. He has had to amend his financial disclosure statements 83 times to try and cover his tracks. As others start to dig into this, here are just some of the pressing questions Corker is going to need to answer:
- What is the current status of the federal probe into, among other issues, Corker’s involvement with CBL? - Does the White House know of these problems (we are betting they do, since Trump passed on naming Corker the Veep or the Secretary of State)? - How was Corker, who came into office in what now appears to have been a precarious personal financial situation, able to amass a huge fortune while supposedly working full-time as a U.S. Senator? - Why do numerous Corker business transactions and interactions seem to always involve Wells Fargo as a key player? - And why is Corker so hell-bent on legislation (the abolition of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) that would result in a massive windfall for Wells Fargo?
You know why, don’t you?
We admit we were surprised a few days ago when Corker told the Gannet/USA Today Tennessean he had made no final decisions about running for re-election. Could it be he knows something he isn’t sharing with the rest of us?
His vote for Rubio’s Gang Of Amnesty should have been enough to get him Cantorized.
His Corker bill enabling the Iran “deal” was treason.
we know...
Bingo!
My senator. But, we’ve only been in Tennessee since 2015, so I can’t own him.
Let’s get a good conservative to replace the pond scum.
My senator, too. We hate him.
I’ve learned to hate him.
The Iran deal was enough.
Only 534 more to be exposed.
Orooked Corker Corsi ping!
Wonder if there is any connection to Chatfetz leaving. ... Any connections?
I would like to think there are at least one or two out of the 535 that are not corrupt, but I may be overly optimistic.
“My senator, too. We hate him.”
I live in Arizona. We have two of them.
Would love to see this guy forced out. However, I read a while back that congressmen are exempt from insider trader laws, and can legally invest in stocks that they know from their position as congressmen will go up or down on news that is not generally known yet. It’s very shady, but a lot of them do it.
What’s wrong with Tennessee Republicans? With the exception of Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, they sure seem to elect a lot of RINOs—Howard Baker, Bill Brock, Lamar Alexander, and now Bob Corker.
Rocky Top is a great site for TN politics. Thanks for posting this about the Cork.
“What’s wrong with Tennessee Republicans? With the exception of Bill Frist and Fred Thompson, they sure seem to elect a lot of RINOs—Howard Baker, Bill Brock, Lamar Alexander, and now Bob Corker.”
Frist was as bad as Alexander and Corker. TN has failed miserably with its Senators, though Joe Carr, with very little money, did keep Alexander under 50% in 2014 and won quite a number of counties. The times, they may be achanging.
Great. Now the Senate seat will go to the Democrats and we will lose the Senate. S#!^!
The TN primary system is rigged against conservatives.
We know Alexander is worthless. He never worked a day in his life. Yes, we have terrible politicians. our Gov. is no better with his common core BS.
Corker was re-elected no thanks to the corruption of Haley Barbour of the state GOP who teamed with state dems who paid their goons to vote for him in the primary.
