“The good news is that I have the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate,” she said. “The bad news is that we need the biggest anti-corruption plan since Watergate. These problems, this corruption, started long before Donald Trump became president."
"Some of the things we can do quietly. But that anti-corruption plan, there’s no way to do that quietly. We can’t keep doing this as a country. The one good thing about Donald Trump is that he’s got everybody off the sidelines. We run against that corruption. We run against the most corrupt administration in the history of this country. Have you been watching these trials? At the center of the whole thing was an ambassador [Gordon Sondland], and how did he get to be an ambassador? He had no qualifications, except that he cut a check to Donald Trump’s inaugural committee for a million dollars. He bought a public office. That is the height of corruption.”

Sondland’s hiring is one thing I don’t understand.

Bloomberg is spending BILLIONS to buy an elected office
Trump needs to appoint an anti corruption commission. Go after the swamp. How anyone can defend the Joe Hunter Biden issue is beyond me. How can we possibly teach about ethics and let that stand is beyond me.
Because she has such an amazing record of always telling the truth. Put a beard on her and she could play President Lincoln. /s
Fauxahontas isn’t going after Joe Biden.
the key take away from this speech is this. The Democrat definition of corruption is being a Republican.
Fauxahontas is going to outlaw the opposition. She will use the force of govt to punish people in other parties.
If they really went after corruption both houses of congress would be wiped out except for a few.
“Elizabeth Warren Rails Against Very Same Corporations She Worked To Benefit”
She gets paid by the goobermint to write a law, then she gets paid by corporations to help them evade the law she wrote.
Nice work if you can get it.
Edited for clarification.
Foreign policy is an object of the President’s authority.
It is the President, not the State Department that actually decides foreign policy that diplomats and the state department carry out.
Ambassadors being chosen by Presidents because they have the trust and respect of the President, not prior diplomatic experience, is as old as the Republic. How they come to have that trust and respect is of the President’s personal choosing, not an academic test for other supposed “qualifications”.
Warren should keep in mind the history of her own party and it’s presidents choices for Ambassadors, like JFK’s father who was said to have “bought” his ambassadorship to Great Britain.
This is actually great. She can go way back & document people who falsely claimed to be an American Indian. Especially people who got scholarships and high paying jobs from their lie.
Then she could arrange for the faux Indians to repay their victims. Out of their pocket.
Get going Liz.

What about buying a professorship at a prestigious university by lying about your ethnicity? Isn’t that corruption?
Donald J. Trump is the only POTUS in recent History who will leave Washington DC with less Personal Wealth than when he arrived.

That’s not just the democrat definition. Which dem criminals have been indicted by this administration?
Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.
Paleface Lizzy is a Democrat.

Hiring major contributors as ambassadors is as old as the Republic itself.
Miss Game The System has no place to talk about corruption!
Look who’s talking.
If you’re going to address corruption, then virtually every democrat in office needs to resign, along with likely a fair chunk of Republicans.
