Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is under fire for recommending one of the top donors to her campaign, Jennifer Rearden, for a lifetime post as a Manhattan federal judge.
Gillibrand (D-NY) took in more than $30,000 in contributions from Rearden, and fellow Democrats are also fuming about the judicial candidate’s membership in an “elite” Connecticut country club that has been accused of maintaining a mostly white membership.
President Biden accepted Gillibrand’s recommendation and nominated Rearden in January.
Rearden gave Gillibrand and her political action committee $11,900 after telling the senator she wanted the job, Federal Election Commission filings show — and even hosted “several” fundraisers for Gillibrand at the Midtown offices of her law firm, Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.

But…why is she being ripped? This is how our system works. We deemed it more civilized than something the rubes might do - like having a tractor pull with the winner becoming the new judge. :)
Situation normal in the District of Corruption.
Ask Traitor Roberts if there are any Gillibrand Judges....
This is how our system works.
*************
This is why our system doesn’t work.
They should release her husbands taxes so we can all see how much money he made betting against the mortgages she was helping cuomo push which led to the housing crisis of 2008.
X-actlee. Nothing new here.
They don’t even try to hide it anymore. It’s just assumed, if you’re nominated a donation is expected.
Can this government get any more corrupt? Oh Hell yes. Just watch
Democrats fume about everything, but in a country that's still mostly white (except in TV commercials), wouldn't the membership of most country clubs be expected to be mostly white?
She was also maskless in a restaurant, and claimed people didn’t view sexual harassment the same when Clinton was President.
Kenya hi Brown-Jackson has a history of donating to Democrats. Can we get her on that?
True. Makes me think the Senator has an enemy inside out to get her. Wonder what she did?
We need to call for a mandatory all hands on deck meeting of our government officials. When the meeting starts and a roll call establishes they are all there, nuke it from orbit. The entire entrenched bunch needs be removed for our country to survive. It is almost beyond life support now.
Gave the job to the donor and not someone else!
Gillibrand is FOR SALE. She’s working with Meghan Markle too trying to get her a seat in Congress.
At this point what difference does it make?
Happens all the time on a regular basis. This one was singled out for attention. Someone is trying to hurt Gillibrand. Not that I care if her career is damaged, but I would be curious to know why.
I know.
My late father and uncles were state & local politicians.
I’ve seen similar things.
