SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.

Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.

As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design.

Feinstein quits committee under war-profiteer cloud

WND has bigger net traffic, so the story may get around. I sent it to Drudge. If he takes it, MSM will have to report it.
