Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, according to Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman.
Per Sherman, the DOJ has issued a subpoena to the House of Representatives Sergeant at Arms “for records relating to the misspending of federal security money.”
Bush, a progressive firebrand, was first elected to the House in 2020. After taking office in 2021, Bush was pressed on the tension between her support for defunding the police and her campaign’s profligate spending on security.
“You faced some criticism in recent weeks over your push to defund the police. Campaign records show that you spent roughly $70,000 on private security. Critics say that move is hypocritical. What’s your response to those critics?” inquired CBS News’ Vladimir Duthiers in one interview.
“They would rather I die? You would rather me die. Is that what you’d want me to see? You want to see me die? You know, because that could be the alternative,” argued Bush in her response. “So either I spend $70,000 on private security over the last few months and I’m here standing now and able to speak, able to help save 11 million people from being evicted. Or I could possibly have a death attempt on my life.”
In October 2022, the New York Post reported that Bush’s campaign had spent a staggering sum totaling almost $500,000 on private security during the 2020-2022 campaign cycle.
Even while investing heavily in her own safety, Bush has insisted that “defunding the police has to happen.”
“We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets because we’re trying to save lives,” she submitted in 2021.
Some day one of these Squawd Members is going to really screw up and get three days probation.
This stinks. Are there not enough white boys to go after?
She do a Fani Willis with taxpayer dollars?
No way, it’s a witch hunt doncha know
Must have some clean up to do. Cori will be fine
Don’t worry. It will plea down to a misdemeanor with probation.
I wonder what she did to piss off her white Democrat donors/masters so much they would want to investigate her?
I fear that when this is over, she will sue and get millions of taxpayer money. You know, social justice and all.
I think we see these meaningless charges brought against deep staters every so often so the DOJ can say "See we prosecute our own".
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate
Anyone who still supports the Democrats has an evil, criminal heart.
Ummmm....who talks like that????
If that was true, they wouldn’t be murdering each other every weekend. However, in all fairness, they do keep the Walmart Doorbuster Loot And Shoots going.
Ugly “Christmas” sweaters are only supposed to be worn as a joke to ugly sweater parties around the holidays. What a dope.
Squad Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo) has a bodyguard named Nathaniel Davis she reportedly paid $137,000 since hiring his services in 2020. In a Tuesday interview with the Washington Free Beacon, Davis claimed, among other things, that he is the Jewish high priest.
In an earlier interview, Davis also claimed he controls tornado storms and earthquakes with his hate and is well-versed in blood rituals to ruin his enemies. He was born 109 trillion years ago, and is an intergalactic master of psychic self-defense, who, according to the WFB (Meet the Anti-Semitic Spiritual Guru on Cori Bush’s Payroll), spends his days “tending to his crops and spreading anti-Semitic conspiracies.”
Rep. Bush was under fire last July, for associating with an antisemitic activist who once said she wanted to burn “every Israeli” alive. Neveen Ayesh, a member of the Missouri chapter of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), helped Bush organize fundraisers. Ayesh is also on the record with her 2014 statement, “I want to set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes along with every Israeli in it.”
Davis, a former member of the antisemitic New Black Panther Party, has tweeted that the Rothschild family “runs the Western Hemisphere.” And in a July 17, 2020, Facebook live stream, which we cannot embed here on account of the expletives, Davis said that agriculture is key to liberating the blacks of St. Louis from “the families that run the planet” who unleashed COVID-19 to murder 99 percent of humanity.
But after the interview with him had been published, Davis became upset about his depiction as an antisemite. He contacted the paper to argue that it’s impossible for him to be antisemitic because he is a member of the tribe of Issachar, one of the lost tribes of Israel.
What is it with those plastic fingernails on these women? It makes their hands useless.
“who talks like that????”
Really stupid people with understanding of the English language. For example, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
Pathetic. Sounds like a 12-year-old girl trying to manipulate her parents. 🙄
I don't even want to imagine how they use toilet paper.
She has nothing to worry about. Nothing will come of this. Sideshow investigation so DOJ can say they equally investigate Democrats.
