Federal subsidies flowing to Sen. Claire McCaskill's husband
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/25/18 | Emily Jashinsky

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., probably didn't have the best birthday this year.

A Kansas City Star report on Tuesday revealed that a whole lot of federal dollars have been flowing to businesses tied to the senator's husband since she took office in 2007. According to the report, more than $131 million in federal subsidies have been routed to companies McCaskill's husband, Joseph Shepard, has invested in since she entered the Senate.

"Based on the data, it appears that a growing percentage of Shepard’s personal earnings come from new businesses he has invested in that are receiving federal awards, primarily rural rental assistance through the USDA," the Star noted.

In 2006, the year before McCaskill entered the Senate, her husband’s personal income from those investments was between $1,608 and $16,731, according to the senator’s financial disclosure forms. In 2017, five years into McCaskill’s second term, Shepard personally earned between $365,374 and $1,118,158 from investments in housing projects that received federal subsidies, the disclosure forms show.

Grifters gotta grift.

Please no pics of this hag. I’m enjoying my beer after another 80+ work week and don’t need my relaxation ruined.

Claire has been doing that sort of thing for years, but since she is a Democrat and because she takes care of the right people, very little has ever made it to the Kansas City and St. Louis papers. In addition, the Republicans have self destructed on cue, keeping the crook in office.

Can you ‘blame’ her?

Look at the record of the ‘queens from CA’, Maxine, that poor little girl from the ghetto who doesn’t have enough for lunch, lives in luxury OUT of her district, ask Pelosi about the tuna business in Samoa, ask Feinstein about Real Estate & her husband and her actions while Senator,Boxer failed to disclose a million dollar house she owned WHILE senator and something about Military exchanges and how her husbands got rich etc etc.

Then again LadyBirdJohnson and her interest in Bell helicopter and LBJ & Brown&Root and the coincidence B&R ‘ran Vietnam etc etc etc.
Jim Moron from VA was on banking committee had run up quite a Credit Card debt that was ‘forgiven’ long about the time legislature in favor of the CC companies was passing... etc...

Harry Reid and his family and ‘luck of the draw’ when buying up Nevada
etc...etc...etc..

ORANGE JUMPSUITS and TERM LIMITS NOW

I think Sen. Torricelli deserves mention. Torricelli didn’t go to jail for taking bribes but the guy who bribed him went to jail. That makes perfect democrat sense.

A ‘sort of’ fair explanation (I do not ‘know of’ this source but it does give a ‘fair’ story. I also saw something from LA times ‘admitting’ same)

And the company Feinstein’s husband works for, CBRE, getting the contract to handle all the sales of federally owned properties, that’s ok as well?

We have only ourselves to blame.

But the sad thing is, the Left see’s nothing wrong with this and neither do most on the Right, as long as they’re getting a piece of the pie.
