The problem is, this kind of corruption is considered a perk of being in office. If you look at the spouses, children, and siblings of every officeholder in Washington I’ll bet you would find thousands of family members getting big government contracts, sitting on boards of one kind or another drawing big paychecks for nothing more than having the correct last name or a related to the officeholders.

In 1995 Newt Gingrich’s wife was given a high paying job in an Israeli trade company right after he became Speaker of the House.

Both parties do it, and that is why congress will never lift a finger to put an end to influence peddling and this kind of corruption.

What Hunter and Biden’s family have done is well beyond perks and just sitting on boards.....well past that.

“ Both parties do it, and...” blah blah blah blah blah.

Enn. O.

I will make three points, as much as I can’t imagine dignifying this nasty misinformed statement

When I was a kid I got a job at my fathers office. The advantage was that I got in by knowing someone. My father did that for us for our friends, cousins and so forth. My father had to fire my uncle and my father took it on himself to do that. We worked.

Newt Gingrich and his wife have worked. Newt put together a budget plan, for one, that the democrats signed. (Clinton took credit, IIRK). Newt is highly educated in history â and philosophy. He is a statesman. His wife is to be compared to hunter Biden in your insane dreams

That people misuse perks and souls be term limited is why we voted for trump, so you are 10 years late with your ridiculous comparison

Now. Go get informed. Newt, nor anyone but progressives, has never influence peddled for his main purpose in his job the way that this group has Clinton Kerry Biden romney(?) with enemies of state
