The Securities and Exchange Commission was seeking information from collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX earlier this year, the Prospect has confirmed, bringing a new perspective to an effort by a bipartisan group of congressmembers to slow down that investigation.
The March letter from eight House members—four Democrats and four Republicans—questioned the SEC’s authority to make informal inquiries to crypto and blockchain companies, and intimated that the requests violated federal law.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN), whom the Republican caucus just elected as majority whip, the number three position in the House GOP leadership, led the letter. In a contemporaneous Twitter thread, Emmer wrote: “My office has received numerous tips from crypto and blockchain firms that SEC Chair @GaryGensler’s information reporting ‘requests’ to the crypto community are overburdensome, don’t feel particularly … voluntary … and are stifling innovation.”

And thus, one more example of the “Uniparty”. They are all in it together. Corrupt, immoral and rotten to their collective core.
It also helps to demonstrate why both parties hate Trump with a passion. Members of Congress, DOJ, DoD, State Dept, and their staffs are for sale to the highest bidder. Including Jug-Ears Obama and the Biden crime family. A sitting POTUS for crying out loud. Corporations, tech firms, banks, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, China, Iran, et al. Doesn’t matter who it is as long as they pay big and pay in cash. But DJT doesn’t want or need their money and cannot be bought, and because of that he is their biggest threat. Their mortal enemy.
God bless, save and protect Donald J. Trump.
The letter says nothing about FTX.
Spot on post.
Shell Game
Shell #1: Congress/Biden send US tax dollars to Ukraine.
Shell #2: Ukraine invents money into crypto currencies with FTX
Shell #3: FTX execs donate millions to PACs like Tom Emmer’s NRCC for the 2022 midterm elections
Shell #4: Immediately following 2022 midterm elections, FTX declares bankruptcy
When someone says all cats that includes the cat in the corner.
Or—if you prefer symbolic logic, some is a subset of all...

look at what happened to the Tea Party members elected to Congress, as within a year you could barely make them out

Absolutely true. One thing the GOP is good at is flipping new members into obedient RINOs.
Emmer may as well be a Democrat. If anyone thinks these POSs are going to do anything but the bare minimum, to appease the masses, they’re dreaming.
Yep. Follow the money.
But we the people will get plenty of knives in our backs from The Backstab Party...

Your instincts are correct.
Scroll down to Recipients, filter selections left to right by “Republican, Candidate, and House”.
Man of the people lives in luxury.
What's next? You'll be saying our POTUS is also corrupt!!!
I’m seeing that MAGA supporters need to focus on taking over banks, rather than political offices.
It’ll take awhile to disinfect that luxury suite.

Yeah, this author agrees. What a bunch of crooks is our federal government.
