The GOPe has always been afraid. They are afraid of the media.

The media, more than any other institution, is allowing this double standard. Sure, our government institutions are on board, but they are taking their lead from the media.

Just close your eyes and imagine the insanity that would have ensued if Eric Trump suddenly took up painting and was selling his artwork to anonymous purchasers (aka donors) for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the Trump White House had told them “don’t worry, we won’t tell who the donors are” as if that somehow erases the pay to play potential.

Don’t forget, they shut down Eric Trump’s non-profit charity for which he took no salary in 2015/2016 claiming it represented a conflict of interest yet nobody on their side bats an eye at the “Clinton Foundation” scam that paid for Chelsea’s wedding and even paid for the dress. I bet they raked in millions that day too from attendees.

The media is in charge because they have placed their politics above their profession.

It’s crazy. They call you a conspiracy theorist yet they refuse to address things that are so obvious.

There is always a back burner to business. Westexec’s is their partnering with Pine Island Capital. The large companies will use the “smaller” companies oput front to take the hits for them. Members of Biden’s transition team already face scrutiny over their close ties to special-interest groups. WESTEXEC/Pine Island are right in the middle of it.

Pine Island’s ties to the Biden team run particularly deep. Co-founder Clyde Tuggle ran government affairs for Coca-Cola, which hired Biden’s niece, Missy Owens, as an in-house lobbyist in 2012. Its Web site previously listed longtime Hunter Biden associate Rob Walker as an adviser but appears to have removed him after his name appeared in two sets of leaked e-mails purportedly showing controversial deals in which the Biden family was involved. Walker is still a major part of the Chinese company owned by the Chinese government Bohai Harvest.
The sincerity of Democrats who sounded alarms will be tested soon enough. Companies like Pine Island are betting that Washington’s revolving door will be fully operational in a Biden administration.

It is Un-prosecuted, NOT "legalized"!

No statute has changed.

From Wikipedia:

Under a financial disclosure filed by the Biden transition team in December 2020, Secretary of State nominee Antony Blinken declared that clients of WestExec included “investment giant Blackstone, Bank of America, Facebook, Uber, McKinsey & Company, the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank, the pharmaceutical company Gilead, the investment bank Lazard, Boeing, AT&T, the Royal Bank of Canada, LinkedIn and the venerable Sotheby’s”. In a similar form, National Security Advisor-designate Avril Haines disclosed that WestExec had worked with data-mining company Palantir Technologies.

Founded in 2017? This is a shadow government.

Which was organized to conduct the coup against President Trump and form a communist government.

Absolutely correct.

The high point of the media's power was Watergate.

It's a slow process, but I think the media is gradually losing its power -- and the presstitutes don't like it.

“especially for a firm that only launched in 2017”
Makes me wonder if the Democrats set up this firm and funded it with phony government contracts in order to provide secure employment ex-Obama employees.>>> In philly it is known as the “Gas Company” PGW. they might now use the water company the same way.

Obama bragged that he had a shadow government of 50,000. Is this 2017 organization the executive committee of Obama’s shadow government???

“This is a shadow government.”

That was my thought, too.

WestEXec has a perfect representative of their corrupt scam in the presence of Jen “Bozo the Clown” Psaki.

By the way, in our house the “P” is not silent.

Last sentence: ***The private sector can in essence co-opt the public sector***

Not to mention the government, Biden admin

So, we already know they have hired many from Facebook, maybe twitter too.

How many and what are their names? These are experienced in faux fact checking

Psaki’a Staci already in place

Biden’s Legalized Corruption is illegal
