I want that money back plus the other millions.
Your tax dollars at work.

If I looked like that, I would drink too. He resembles a cross between a hog and a Brussels Griffon.
How the heck does he get elected?
They gerrymandered his district so it borders on mexico all the way from Tucson to Yuma.
So I busted my butt working in five decades to pay hush money for a bunch of well-connected perverts? Lovely.
Like ducks in a shooting gallery. I wonder why this is all coming out now? ☺
I couldn’t think of anyone I’d like to see take a huge fall than that huge pile of sh** anti American Raul gri.
El Gordo !!
How is this not embezzlement ?
He’s so fat he can’t button his collar. How about working in a taco salad now and again. You look like an eggplant.
The Times reported. Its against House rules for a lawmaker to retain an employee who does not perform duties for the offices of the employing authority commensurate with the compensation such employee receives.
And this would be the AWANS and 30 or so House Democrats.
