Ok now we scratch DeVoss off the list. Also Mnuchin took that so called actress/wife on a joyride to see the money on the taxpayer dime then the wife bitched when people complained.



Goes far beyond the tan suit and that was a scandal

So we only have the head of the FCC even though he enacted shitty policy doesn't meet the "corruption" definition

Wheres the corruption?

If you actually gave a shit, you'd start asking questions about her family and more specifically: her brother.

Regardless: utter incompetence and complete lack of experience related to the appointed job is, in any recognized metric, the first and most obvious flag for corruption.

TIL that donating millions of dollars in exchange for a job running the Department of Education is not corrupt, and pushing policy that the public does not want but your lobbyist buddies do want is also not corruption.

The only name I can think of that doesn't make me immediately think of corruption and conflicts of interest is Jim Mattis.

** buzzer sound **

Tough challenge. Mattis was complicit in denying guilt of MBS. He's also implicated in the Theranos scandal

all of it. You just stupid.

Be quiet, traitor, and let the adults talk.

For goodness' sake, you can't even acknowledge Scott Pruitt, who was so obviously on the take from the fossil fuel industry that he bought a "cone of silence" (even the way it was expensed was against the law) so that he could conduct shady deals. His acting replacement, Andrew Wheeler, is also a corrupt coal industry lobbyist.

I'm in favor of tackling corruption regardless of party (do you have examples? And not unsupported claims like Uranium One). However, it's the Trump administration in office right now, not Obama's. Your whataboutism doesn't change the fact that there are numerous corrupt officials doing damage to the country this very second. We should be focused on the problem we have.

Besides, you're in no position to talk when it's effectively been established that Trump violated campaign finance law while paying for the silence of a porn star, and numerous people connected to Trump have pleaded guilty. Corruption isn't just present in the Trump administration; it defines the Trump administration.

I'm not sure the MBS thing is proof of that at all, it strikes me as the normal desire of someone not wanting to contradict a mentally unstable boss - not that I agree with it in this case.

The Theranos stuff is, I admit, pretty unsavory and I confess I hadn't heard about any connection there. Looks like I have some reading to do! Thanks Homer.

Apparently, your favorite soul is neither immortal nor divine, that is your "Great I Am", Trump.

Trump has been found to have directed felonies. The statements of Cohen are not the basis for the finding of fact before the court by any means, merely an opening for further investigation, which obviously paid off as Cohen's testimony is insufficient.

Naturally, that doesn't matter as your obvious purpose is to troll for your own need, but behind every "Hillary" or pretending that Trump making a shutdown his own fault is a plus, remains the factual event of Trump being named as a participant, indeed the cause, of actual felonies. You may not like it and I'd say don't tell us, tell it to the judge.

Clinton paid 850,000 dollars, not a word. Trump is getting money back from the porn queen. Keep squawkin' baby face.

Impeach Bill then. Avenatti decided to pursue a suit and him I don't like so much. The porn queen will have to pay the unindicted co-conspirator, Trump. Well unindicted for the time being. Besides Trump will need her money later to have a roof over his head if he's held to account on financial dealings. You can take that up with NY if you like after you finish telling the SDNY judge that you know best.

I agree with the lack of experience of DeVos, but I dont give a shit about family personally. A family doesnt imply guilt.

Feel free to start your own thread. In fact drop a few eggs here. List the Obama administration people that were indicted. We know Republicans ran tons of hearings.

Care to expand on that 850K thing? Bet its just Infowars/Fox News bullshit.

Trump paid money to the women to influence the election. That's a crime, Skippy

That's a branch of government not part of the Trump administration.
I remember Hatch saying it was a pleasure to serve the president. A good poster geezer for term limits. And removing asses that are complicit with this carnival in the WH.
