When Members of Congress Sleep With Lobbyists
In Congress, relatives lobby for bills before family members
In 2007, in the wake of the biggest lobbying scandal in decades, Congress limited the ability of family members to lobby their relatives in the House or Senate. But it declined to ban the practice entirely.
Since then, 56 relatives of lawmakers have been paid to influence Congress. More than 500 firms have spent more than $400 million on lobbying teams that include the relatives of members, according to a Washington Post analysis of disclosure forms.
Nice find.
It would appear that the oligarchs are not happy.
What does this have to do with stopping Trump?
As Mayor Daley used to say, “If you are going to have incest, keep it in the family”.
As a former DC Area resident (20 plus years) and with family still in that area....I can attest to everyone that the DC Metro Region is a Corrupt infested swamp in that there’s a wholesale industry “skimming” off the top from Government spending. There’s NO incentive for anyone in government (Rep and Dem) to REDUCE the growth of government! It’s ALL a SCAM!! That’s the ONLY reason why they hate and fear TRUMP! Whether he does anything about it is good for debating but they are AFRAID of the unknown! They fear their gravy train disappearing....
Echo GOOD FIND!
Bet there is more found with very little digging
Shame the msm isn’t interested
Thank You onyx for this, now we know some of the reasons for the corruption in government...
And now we know why they don’t want Trump in the Oval Office, he’s a member of his own club and not part of theirs...says a lot...
Exactly!
The UNIPARTY!
thanks for the post!
Endless corruption. News anchors give ‘hard-hitting’ questions to their spouse/member of Congress/Senate/Federal Reserve.
This is the only reason I could think of that unites both sides against Donald Trump.
In their dirty black hearts, they all want open borders for the cheap labor, they all want free trade for the cheaply priced products and they all want to grow government, save for the businessman, Donald Trump!
Exactly!
On the demonic-rat side, the SPOUSE EMPLOYMENT extends to MSM!
Another way to look at this is:
When obuma was elected it was for hillarycare+romneycare=obumacare...
This time it is: CFR+TTP+TPA=Cruz or Bush or Hillary....
Chris Matthews wife, former anchor, running for senate, I believe. Andrea Mitchell, of course. Presidential spokesman (Jay Carney) married to a reporter. It’s sickening.
If the US government was a business, it would have gone under long ago if not for constantly being bailed out on the backs on the taxpayers and Chinese loans.
That image is pure horse pucky.
God does not pick the strongest and best. There are numerous examples throughout the Bible indicating that, including Christ Jesus Himself.
I chalk this up to more cult of personality tripe that people on FR should know better.
Lobbyists and Apple (China) can’t have TRUMP ruin their party, but remember Cruz said we’re low info voters.
OH Lord, is she really running for a US Senate seat?
That’s what I read.
