Here is some stuff I dug on Richardson back in July. Bringing it forward for reference. Links are hot at the FR post:

“I always thought Bill Richardson had way too much national juice for a New Mexico Governor”
Excellent point. Let’s dust off some of his legacy.
2009 - pay-to-play for his PAC and state contracts
State kickbacks to political donors
2011 - investigated for campaign finance crimes
2013 - taking bribes for judicial appointments (plea deal)
2015 - kickbacks from Wall Street to invest NM State funds in high risk money-pits
Other miscellaneous
- had to resign as Obama’s Commerce Dept secretary due to corruption; Eric Holder ensured there were no indictments
- paid a former lover a sexual harrassment claim of $250,000 from a bank in Mexico. (why do you have a bank in Mexico, Bill?)
- Presided over the Wen Ho Lee nuclear spying while Energy secretary
- negotiated a failed cease-fire with the Taliban in 1998 while Ambassador to the UN
- multiple negotiations with North Koreans in the 1990s; traveled to North Korea in 2013 with Eric Schmidt (the Google trip to NK)
Whew! The list goes on and on. I knew he was corrupt, but didn’t know all this.
ThanQ for the Richardson info... nasty fellow
Here is something I ran across that is not really Q related but interdasting
#Time Magazine has told us for 30+ years [fill in the blank] WILL KILL YOU!
@owenbenjamin #BigBear talks about the “face” of TERROR / FEAR — thrown in our face by #Time Magazine ceaseless since the 1980s (note you can start 1 min in)

Thanks for the reminder on Richardson.
When Q says they have it all, I think we also have most of it. It’s just that there is SO MUCH of it that we need occasional reminders for the stuff that is falling off one side of our plate while we are piling more onto the other side.
