"They look like grifting faggots."

FTA --> "Experts warned at the time that Harris's transition into consulting could pose ethical problems, as it created the appearance that he was trying to profit off his wife's political success."

No Sh!t, Sherlock. They are pulling the Biden influence con at small scale. Honestly, these guys each need five or ten shell companies to hide the influence they are peddling.

"Ethical problems"? Ha! They are DEMOCRAT grifters. WHAT "ethical problems"?

I’m still trying to figure out how “Conan Harris,... [a] convicted felon who served 10 years in prison for drug trafficking” became “Conan Harris... $92,500-per-year... public safety adviser to then-Boston mayor Marty Walsh (D.).”

Gee, if I had known crime could pay that well...

I’ve never really understood how there’s so many consulting businesses out there. Even ignoring government grift, How do so many other companies use consultants enough to justify how many of them there are and how much they get paid?

This corrupt system isn’t worth defending.

Agree however remember it gets that way by the voter who has no idea what the hell is going on.

Low informed TV networks chumps taking the bait.

Obama was elected twice how’s that for double stupidity.

One thing that might make the situation clearer is knowing that Marty Walsh was a leftist Democrat labor union politician. Hiring some guy whose wife was an important political ally is standard Democrat political practice. Being able to hire a guy who has a proven track record of doing illegal things, concealing what is really going on, moving money around secretly and engaging in deception is even better.

Harris had an excellent resume for such a job.

In the world of politics "consulting" businesses provide a way to move money around and reward allies without the inconvenient legal requirements of employment.

What better way to help your allies than hire them to do some undefined task like "provide advice" and then pay them $10,000 per month. The "advice" is what they say out back on the patio. "I think the steaks are done now."
