All In The Family
The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, many of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country.
The sale of these properties will fetch billions of dollars and a handsome 6% commission to the company handling the sales. That company belongs to a man named Richard Blum. Who is Richard Blum you ask?
Why the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein, that's who. What a bunch of crooks we have running this country!
Senator Feinstein and her husband, Richard Blum, stand to make a fortune. His firm, C.R. I., is the sole real estate company offering these properties for sale. Of course, C.R.I. Will be making a 6% commission on the sale of each and every one of these postal properties.
All of these properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. Taxpayers dollars, and they are allowed free and clear by the U.S.P.S. The only cost to keep them is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay property taxes on these subject properties.
How does a powerful U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with such a sweet deal?
A powerful United States Senator's husband is standing by, all ready to make millions from a U.S. Taxpayer funded enterprise.
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over his 6% commission on the sale of hundreds of millions of dollar's worth of quasi-public assets.

Our post office is in a rented building. Its got an apartment upstairs.
Wouldn’t surprise me. The (Democrat) Downtown business establishment in Houston wants the main post office downtown so that a civic funded (privately run) performance theater can be built. Of course then we’d have to build another large post office somewhere else.
I’m sure someone inside the loop has just the plot of land to sell them.
corruption??? maybe that's the reason she wants to disarm the American people.
Prime real estate. And since they’re post offices, they’re hardly used. What a bargain.
The solution to these situations is so simple that it makes the intentional corruption obvious: No immediate family member is permitted to do business with any government entity at or below the level of government participation of the politician. E.g. Blum would be forbidden to do business with federal, state or local governments. Beyond the immediate family, the current laws would still apply - meaning that this doesn’t expressly permit a cousin or niece to do business, but neither would they be expressly forbidden.
The way it should be reported but won’t when and if picked up by MSM

Inane. What's your point?
There are two nations within our borders. One is the United States of America. It looks to the Constitution. The other nation is Democratland. It exists to plunder the treasury. Which one is going to win?
Who asked you?
