I guess the check cleared.
He is in a position to demand premium prices for bribes, and is professional enough to understand that market.

The Republican SOS was protecting all the Voting Fraud.
How many Dems stab their party and President in the back? The GOP lines up to attack Trump, but both Parties treat Obama and Biden like DC royalty.

Ask the other guy - the guy that posted it - I merely quoted him
D.C. Statehood.
Puerto Rico Statehood.
HR1 vote stealing.

Filibuster deleted.
