Democratic scandals

[Anonymous]

There are many.... we'll start with this one.

Rep. Marie Newman (D-IL) is facing an onslaught of criticism for a contract she signed with a political rival, in which—according to congressional investigators—she likely agreed to hand Professor Iymen Chehade a six-figure salary in exchange for him not running against her in a Democratic primary. But documents appear to show that a cozy job and big title weren’t the only things Newman negotiated.

In an Oct. 2018 email to Newman, Chehade memorialized that he and Newman had met earlier in the week and discussed a proposal where Newman would not only pledge to hiring Chehade, but would also “commit” to a number of anti-Israel policy positions.

Among the positions Chehade laid out were “opposing any legislation that entails ADDITIONAL military sales or aid to Israel,” supporting legislation that achieves “justice and self-determination” for Palestinians, and organizing “fact-finding” delegations to Palestine and other Middle East countries. Chehade even said he wanted “complete discretion” over the itinerary for such a trip.

Yes, let's please have a serious thread about all of the Democrat scandals and then we can compare them to the GOP scandals.

Don't forget Gov. Cuomo.

I don't think this will have the impact OP things it will. The difference being, when a Dem has a scandal, there aren't a bunch of rubes blindly defending and sticking up for them.

Oh please, Baltimore narrowly missed re-electing a formerly indicted Dem mayor. Dems routinely turn blind eyes to malfeasance too.

Both sides have corrupt politicians. What's interesting about this example is the insight it offers into the anatomy of a quid pro quo between two politicians. Rarely are we offered a glimpse into these arrangements, which are usually not recorded in a legal document.

So Baltimore ended up NOT re-electing a formerly indicted Dem mayor.

You are making the point.

Keep in mind that the GOP thread is limited to scandals that have happened just since the thread was started in 2018. Since you all actually want to compare.

Correct. They ended up voting in a mayor who ended up becoming newly indicted and investigated by the FBI, lol.

Yeah, why on earth would she agree to put something like this is writing? I thought they were savvy in Illinois.

Just like with the Baltimore example, "almost" doesn't count unless it is horseshoes or handgrenades.
