So they are the worst of a group that is filled with scumbags.
If Mueller keeps going down the Cohen/hush-money route, Trump should threaten to out every member of congress that used the sexual-harassment slush fund.
In fact, appoint a special investigator to get to the bottom of the congressional hush-money slush fund.
“Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now has an opportunity to act further and we will be encouraging her to finally bring an end to this systematic cover-up“
Is this just the most despicable thing ever written? Like saying, “Finally, the Fox has arrived to keep watch over the henhouse.
A shorter list would be the ones who have integrity.
What? No Mad Maxine?
She is as corrupt as they come. And once she takes oversight of the House Financial Services Committee - she will only get worse!
I’d bet those instances are tame compared to the real truth of many others.
Puh-leeze...there is far more serious corruption among Congress. These are minor infractions compared to the malfeasance our “leaders” are perpetrating against the American people.
Not to defend entirely Ryan and McConnel, but there is at least a rational basis for the institutions of Congress to have a process and a fund to settle claims. I don’t agree, but at least understand it. The claims are a distraction regardless of the merit, and a few errant congresscritters shouldn’t derail the business of running Congress. Putting them individually on the list without citing any specific wrongdoing by them personally seems like a mistake.
It is not the same scale as actually being involved personally in malfeasance, like Kamala Harris fundraising on the back of Kavanaugh and/or her looking the other way as her chief of staff harassed women and paid a $400,000 settlement.
If you’re going to make a list like this, at least make some rules and test people’s individual behavior against the rules. People who harass women (or men) are not in the same class as the people who oversee the writing of checks to end the disputes. Just saying “the process sucks so Ryan is the worst offender” seems like a cop-out excuse to top the list with a Republican who, afaik, hasn’t been accused of anything.
Probably the least corrupt...which is not a compliment.
This list doesn’t have Mad Maxine, so I’m not impressed with it...at least, Bill Nelson won’t return to the Senate, and Rick Scott will be 100,000,000% better.
