How George W. Bush scored big with the Texas Rangers
https://publicintegrity.org/politics/how-george-w-bush-scored-big-with-the-texas-rangers/

… Bush and his partners bought the team on April 21, 1989, for $86 million. To scrape together his $500,000 stake in the Rangers, Bush borrowed the money from a bank in Midland where he once was a director. He owned 1.8 percent of the Rangers. (He later invested an additional $106,302).

Later, Bush’s partners rewarded him by upping his ownership stake in the Rangers, giving him another 10 percent of the team.

“He had a well-known name, and that created interest in the franchise,” Tom Schieffer, the Rangers’ former president, said last year. “It gave us a little celebrity.”

… the new owners threatened to move the team out of Arlington, Texas, sending local officials scurrying to put together a deal they couldn’t refuse. Under the resulting agreement, the taxpayers of Arlington would raise $135 million, the bulk of the cost of construction, through a hike in sales taxes. Between the sales-tax revenue, state tax exemptions and other financial incentives, Texas taxpayers handed the privately owned Rangers more than $200 million in public subsidies. Taxpayers didn’t get a return from the stadium’s surging new revenues, either. The profits went almost exclusively to the team’s already wealthy owners.

… In 1998, the Rangers sold for $250 million, three times what Bush and his partners had paid 10 years earlier. The new stadium and the real estate around it greatly boosted the final sale price. And, since his partners had upped Bush’s stake in the team from 1.8 to 11.8 percent, his cut from the proceeds of the sale was $14.9 million, a 25-fold return on his investment of $606,302.

Why has this not been investigated?

It’s Texas. It was business as usual.

Don't get me wrong, it's gross, but there's nothing criminal here. This is our economic system. If you don't like it, vote in a lot more Elizabeth Warrens and Katie Porters. And don't let your idiot neighbors vote to raise funds for a stadium for millionaires.

I prefer devoted people who do not pretend to be other races. Joe Biden son should still be investigated Ashard Joe Biden a quick pro quo. It’s obvious they were some shady dealings with Ukrainians and that’s why they tried to prosecute Trump so they can cover it up and create a narrative. Anybody with any sense sees that

So Barr says it’s a “hot potato” but won’t comment further?
Other than one received email from a dude Hunter didn’t do business with… what is there?

Sadly, your word salad has not convinced me of your sense. Do you know the warning signs of a stroke? Do you smell burnt toast? Perhaps you should call 911.

Not a what about. An example of real corruption. Not some bullshit email from a hustler where there was no deal and no money. W was a several times failed oil man, gifted 10% ownership of a Major League Baseball team by his dad’s crony network while his dad was President. They admitted they did it because of his name. Then they used that name to pressure taxpayers to build them a new stadium, set up W to run for Governor, and make a windfall at taxpayers expense when they sold the team.
