I’m sure it’ll be accurate, fair and balanced as are all 60 Minutes segments.

“lawmakers convert campaign donations into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members”

Think the Clinton Clan will get a mention?

“60 minutes ?”

Maybe they should devote 60 days.

This is a surprise to people? No one wonders why so much money is spent for a job that pays well (but not THAT well) and why those people end up nearly uniformly as millionaires?

No interest in watching unless they are going to cover both sides of the aisle

...exposing how lawmakers convert campaign donations into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members.

This is the least of what they do.

It's a seeBS diversion.

Pelosi's party jet is old news, and earmarking funds that benefit her husband's investments around the San Francisco Bay

Are they going to cover Charlie Rangel? Or will this be a GOP-only exposé?

I've not watched 60 minutes in years. Maybe the ObamaCare Fiasco has clued a few people in...

I watched it a couple of weeks ago when they did a story about people scamming the Social Security disability system. First time that I have watched 60 minutes in about 30 years.

I'll watch this story tonight about DC corruption.

Seems like CBS wants to do some real journalism for a change. They even joined up with a Breitbart contributor. I'm sure that a few IRS audits and some veiled threats to pull the licenses of the CBS owned TV stations will get them back on the liberal reservation.

"CBS reporter Steve Kroft and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer"

I'll tune in. It looks like they may even pick on the progressives.

To: All

let’s see... it’ll be about three congressmen, at least two Republicans and the accusations will be based on out-of-context “anonymous” statements based on no actual evidence but something someone said to someone in a bar and a few disgruntled ex-employees and maybe a few leftist lobbyists that just happened to contribute to Obama that didn’t get the money because of the eeeeevvvvvil Republican leadership..

pass.

Using the IRS to squelch free speech is a STORY.

60 Minutes, however, spends their time on this...

Great work, guys. So proud.

I rarely, if ever, watch “60 Liberals,” er...I mean “60 Minutes,” but the expose on congress-critters engaging in insider trading was very good. I think it aired earlier this year, with Steve Croft.

Because of this airing, the laws were changed. How great it must have been for members of Congress to know in advance that a defense contractor was going to be building a major weapons system, and then to be able to legally purchase stock in that contractor before the news was made public.

From what I understand, the practice was made legal once again, allowing the staff members of the congress critters to engage in insider trading. Gee, I wonder if these staff members are buying stock on the congressman’s behalf? Guess I don’t have to wonder.

A story I really found interesting was when 60 Minutes aired silent footage of a film depicting a ride down Market Street in San Francisco. It was very clear and detailed, and experts determined the footage was shot just days before the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire in 1906.
The film survived because it was put on a train for the East a day after it was filmed.

Harry Reid LIVES in the Ritz.

There will be no mention of him, or Pelosi, or Feinstein.
