This is a typical way Democrats (and for all I know Republicans but somehow I doubt it) get corporate contributions without having to look like they’re in the pocket of corporations.

Just shake down big banks, utilities, food companies, etc. for “loans” of money, equipment, goods and services. Then, when asked to pay up... just say no.

Company gets to write it off as a bad debt. Democrats can say “we don’t take bribes from big companies.” MSM can concentrate on torpedoing GOP candidates, and life goes on.

In keeping with my historical comparisons (invading barbarians, bread and circuses, failing empire), didn’t bankrupt monarchs used to shake down “rich” folks for loans that they never intended to repay?
