Let’s hope those Vichy Repubs like McCain and McConnell are included in the expose.
This will be on AIR at 730PM with a football game before it that might delay the start
Forgive me for being underwhelmed.
In 2011, Kroft and Schweizer teamed up for a 60 Minutes investigation based on Schweizer’s New York Times bestseller, Throw Them All Out. The results rocked official Washington, as the exposé revealed that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was given insider access to the Visa credit card IPO, wherein she made a 50% profit on her investment in just two days. The report also alleged that Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-AL) engaged in insider trading, prompting an ethics investigation and Bachus stepping down from his chairmanship of the Financial Services Committee. Schweizer’s book ultimately led to passage of the STOCK (Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge) Act banning congressional insider trading. Throw Them All Out was “the book that started the STOCK Act stampede,” reported Slate.
Wow — this should be in Breaking News —
CBS 60 Minutes finds corruption in Washington DC —
and decides to expose it right after they have spent all that aire time during the shutdown mocking those who wanted to rein in the corruption.
Uh-oh. I hope the Grid doesn’t go down.
“I’m under a publisher embargo right now and can’t say much,” Schweizer told Breitbart News. “But suffice it to say, President Obama and some members of Washington’s Permanent Political Class are not going to like what we uncovered and the kinds of personal enrichment and self-dealing exposed in Extortion.”
I’ve said for some time, if you want to get rich forget hard work, starting a business, inventing something.
Get into politics. That’s where the big money is.
The world’s largest banana republic, good ol’ USA.
I’m sure they will mention politicians subverting our laws to get votes from illegal aliens.
Gee,one can only wonder on which party 60 Minutes will focus.
This PAC business is a slush fund, no matter who it is.
I am willing to elect or re-elect serious contenders, like Cruz & Lee, so the Senate Conservatives Fund works for me, and they inform me every week by email, of what they are doing and who they are supporting.
THEY are the ONLY ones in a position to scorch some earth. The rest are playing us, since PAC cash passes to their family.
Did anyone see it?
Was there any substance or illegality or news to it?
A) It’ll never air and (B) if it does, it’ll be edited to make the GOP, especially Ted Cruz the villains.
Didn’t watch, don’t watch propaganda if I can help it. Betcha they were just as hard on rats as they were on pubbies (not)
I missed 60 Minutes tonight; I was out and didn't set a timer.Anyone know if it is repeated during the week, or if it is available on line?
