Congressmembers Tried to Stop the SEC’s Inquiry Into FTX - The ‘Blockchain Eight’ wrote a bipartisan letter in March attempting to chill the SEC’s information requests to crypto firms. FTX was one of those firms.

“4 ‘pubs, 4 rats”

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.

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.

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.

[DownInFlames]

Yep. Follow the money.

[kiryandil]

Pretty much. The promised investigations in the Republican House will be nothing more than a dog and pony show to expose nothing.

But we the people will get plenty of knives in our backs from The Backstab Party...

[LouAvul]

Wait. You're telling me that Congress, one of the three Branches of Govt, is an ongoing criminal enterprise?!!

What's next? You'll be saying our POTUS is also corrupt!!!

[Mr. Jeeves]

I’m seeing that MAGA supporters need to focus on taking over banks, rather than political offices.

[dynachrome]

It’ll take awhile to disinfect that luxury suite.

THE UNORTHODOX LETTER IS ANALOGOUS to the 1987 “Keating Five” scandal. Then, five senators (including a young Arizona Republican named John McCain) pressured the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB) into shutting down an investigation into Lincoln Savings and Loan and its chair Charles Keating Jr. Keating was a donor to all five senators, giving $1.3 million over the years.

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