Where’s Nancy Pelosi????
She famously said that the Republican party had a culture of corruption.
I want to know Nancy’s opinion of this campaign fund scandal happening with good Democrats. A good Democrat treasurer stole the money????? Ohmygosh!!!! Money which donors intended to give to Democrats to run for office so they could do things for the children????? For shame!!!!!
LOL, love that headline.
Just following Obama’s lead to “spread the wealth around”.
I bet that these liberal pols will somehow het that money back through we the taxpayers.
She looks like a potential Obamaloon pick for a federal judge.
Hell yes, she deserves a higher pay grade.
bump
Near as I can tell she did the very same thing to them that they’re doing to the country at large. Not sure I got a dawg in this fight.
looks like she ate the first million
Another for the “Why am I not surprised” file.
It’s California. She’ll probably sue to keep her job even if she goes to prison.
And, she’ll probably win.
Is that Kindee? Scary.
Ditto that...
Popcorn by the barrel while I follow this story!
She’s qualified for the Supreme Court or DHS Secretary.
Filth attracts still more rats.
She was sharing the wealth. What's the big deal? Isn't she entitled to that money?
I say let her keep it. It's her right to have it. Maybe she wants to buy a new TV.
