Pelosi fires back at '60 Minutes' report on 'soft corruption'
The book that was the background for the report:
Yes.... throw all these crooks out!
Take a breath ...
Everybody’s innocent in here. Didn’t you know that? —Andy Dufresne
This report is absolutely sick for the average hard working, tax paying, law abiding Joe.
Why is that? Why are these thieves (and worse) allowed to enact laws yet exempt themselves from the very laws they impose on the rest of us? That {expletive} has got to stop, like yesterday.
Of course they deny it....
Anyone ever notice how many of our public servants become millionaires while in office?
The converse side of this is that lawmakers share inside information with lobbyists from Wall Street, who pay for it with campaign contributions.
Is anyone surprised? I’m not surprised. It’s not like this is “totally unexpected”. I’m just glad they have exposed this with such details.
I can name one example off the top of my head that’s got to be in this book, and if it’s not it should be — the ties between Homeland Security Personnel and the makers of the Airport “Naked” Scanners that received the job (which union are they?). Those people involved made a LOT of money there - AND did it by violating the public’s rights to privacy and safety.
If Martha Stewart went to jail, you can bet these folks deserve to be there for a lot longer than she was... It’s not like these were one time situations either — I’d bet you could charge these members of Congress as a group with the RICO Act.
They deny the claims??????
I’m SHOCKED.....SHOCKED I tell you.
How could these vicious people attack the integrity of these “wholesome and good” politicians?
/sarc
Of course it’s insider trading. Duh.
If there is or is going to be a ping list for this subject matter, please add me. Great job pulling all the links/info together. After listening to Steven Bannon’s interview of the author and a few others last night, there should be lots of stuff coming out. Kudos Starwise.
I’m just hearing about all this. I’ll remind myself that this is CBS, then start reading.
Now we know why Mr. $$$$mith goes to Washington and does everything he can to $tay there.
Pelosi may be "above the law" but I doubt that applies to her husband. Martha Stewart was jailed for a lot less. Let Mr. Nancy Pelosi feel the heat.
Time to hire gallow builders.
Peter Schweizer’s FaceBook page, for interested parties:
Well of course they deny it!
You don’t think they would admit it, do you?
LOL.
Pelousy's increase didn't even make the list as it was negligible comparatively. Yet there are some who still believe the financial collapse of late 2008 was not orchestrated.
Secret "closed door" meeting with Congress (3/14/08)
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/3/14/house_hold_rare_secret_session_on
Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they also discussed:
1. the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008,
2. the imminent collapse of US federal government finances by February 2009,
3. the possibility of Civil War inside the USA as a result of the collapse,
And we wait...continuing to promote the same criminals.
Get Out Of Our House would be a good start.
