Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) is demanding to see all communications between Democratic Party officials and the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission following the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, whose founder and former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, is a prominent Democratic donor.

"... [Y]ou must conduct a full conflict-of-interest review to ensure that Mr. Bankman-Fried’s status as a top donor to the Democratic Party did not insulate him from oversight and accountability," Hawley wrote in a letter Friday to Attorney General Merrick Garland, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and Commodity Commission Chairman Rostin Behman.

A bipartisan House committee is investigating the collapse of FTX, which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month after it became public that hundreds of millions of dollars were missing from the service.

“To be clear, Mr. Bankman-Fried funded his lavish donations to the Democratic Party through rampant fraud," Hawley wrote. "The net result was that billions of dollars were stolen from investors and handed over to Democrats and left-wing organizations."

Hawley questioned why the company's scheme was revealed after the midterm elections.

Democratic Party = Rampant Fraud

It’s that simple

[Eagles6]

I’m sure Garland will get right on that./sarc

It’s assumed that is exactly what they’ll do.

Recommend that from now on the House GOP include words and phrases that paint the Left with the criminal., e.g., ‘....our investigation of potential criminal charges...’. Make words like ‘criminal’, ‘illegal activities’, ‘ethics violations’, etc. Fight fire with fire. Everything the Left does should carry that. Do not let up. Grow a pair, rent a spine, whatever. Fight like you mean it.

“The net result was that billions of dollars were stolen from investors taxpayers and handed over to Democrats and left-wing organizations."

Same thing, right? Been going on for decades.

“All Hawley can do is make noise. Republicans have no power in the Senate,”

I agree. But he can bring the ideas into the public conversation and Republicans will have the power to do something about it in the House come January.

Yes. The RINO Republicans are in up to their beady eyes, too.

“All Hawley can do is make noise. Republicans have no power in the Senate,”

He also can go after the “dirty” Republicans involved in the scandal, like Mitch.
