Tell me, did I dream scuttlebutt about Congressional Insider Trading Special Prosecutor Matt Gaetz? Wasn’t that a topic?

Looks like hardball to me. I hope Rush is watching this.

Developmental grants would be one way, I think.
They just neglect to mention that the development in their district is a brand new house.

“Look at all that graft! No accountability, hundreds of billions stolen.”

“Holy Cow! Where’d they get all that unaccounted for money?”

Nice combo, Elon.

Much is literally insider trading, they are given tips on where to put money. I suspect this will be a dead end for Musk beyond realizing they somehow play the market better than the odds would allow.

Simple: Just look at your federal income tax return.....
We call it “legalized theft” around these parts.

I want to know who the mastermind was to start all of this. It wasn’t Trump or Elon.

Bribery, sweetheart deals for hiring their relatives and insider trading.

The majority of it is, yes.
However there is still issue of developmental grants that they use for themselves. Pelosi also tried to get it set up so that they could take loans interest free. I don’t know if she succeeded in doing that.

Nancy's father and brother were both former mayors of Baltimore.

So they may have benefitted from corruption.

So she was already wealthy before becoming the SOTH.

Adapted from an earlier post...

Mrs. (impeached and disbarred) Bill Clinton has published (if my quick look is right, corrections invited) about 12 titles.

I've been to book stores piled high with books allegedly written by Hillary in gaudy displays (which greeted the incoming customers by needing to dodge the stacks of Hillary's latest in order to enter the shop). I like book stores (I'm sad to see so many go away), and I love to observe what folks are reading and buying.

Never, not once, have I noticed anyone reading or buying a Hillary Clinton book.

Dear Mister Musk. Please find a way to check out Hillary's book deals and remuneration as opposed to sales numbers and net profit, as somehow, I suspect a rodent. (Other financial dealings, such as the Clinton Foundation, are candidates for examination, as well.)

The truth is finally out...And exactly what we suspected...At the hands of those in government, we’ve been economically gang banged and ripped off for years now...

And they will never pay back what they stole from all of us.

Some of these were already wealthy before they became Congressmen. I want to know about Maxine and a few others of her ilk.

My guess is that the net worth of these individuals is much much higher than what is publically stated.

I’ll bet some of these politicians are close to a billion if you’re counting their off the books assets.

In any case, things can never go back to the way they were. Wonder what’s going to happen.

The book scam is that a publisher gives them a HUGE advance to write some idiotic book. It barely sells, the published takes a loss, and finds other ways to “donate” them, and sometimes leftist foundations use USAID money to buy them in bulk and hand them out.

But those books are never intended to actually sell to consumers.

It’s a huge democrat politician scam.

The Clinton Foundation received like $84 million from USAID in 2023. That’s just in your face theft. It’s not corruption because that hag from hell had no influence left to peddle.
