GOP Corruption at Every Level

[Anonymous]

Republican West Virginia Supreme Court Justice shares a lawyer with a natural gas company with cases in front of the court, and he won’t recuse himself.

Of course not. This is the Oligarchal American that Trump is trying to establish.

Duncan Hunter enlisted 3 former USMC generals to tar his opponent as a terrorist. All three are now defense industry lobbyists with matters before Hunter's House committees, and the congressman has gone to bat for their clients in the past.

The GOP is cheating in the name of being a minority in power, whose goal seems to only be wealth and power at any cost.

Dem corruption tends to be of the grubby personal variety - wads of cash hidden in the freezer, personal use of public resources, etc.

Republican corruption tends to be of the "wholesale subversion of our democracy" variety.

“The FBI arrested a man in Town of Madison, Wisconsin, on Wednesday for “trying to buy radioactive material with the intent to kill someone,” local news station WKOW reports. Jeremy Ryan, 30, allegedly attempted to buy a “lethal dose of a radioactive substance” online between March and October 2018. The Town of Madison Police Department confirmed to The Daily Beast that the man arrested was the same Jeremy Ryan who lost the August Republican primary while running for Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District in the House of Representatives.”

"Many sides"

No? Republicans only? That's absolutely unbelievable. No, really.

All politicians are scum, but since Trump was elected, the GOP has cornered the market on corruption. They probably cornered it before Trump was elected, but they now have free reign to amass as much money as they can for themselves and screw the "little people" by as many corrupt means as are available to them.

The Democrats place a distant second in corruption. They just don't have the balls to do the brazenly corrupt things Trump and his enablers do every day.

Former GOP Rep. Steve Stockman (Texas) gets a 10-year prison sentence for illegally using charitable funds to cover personal expenses & pay for campaigns for public office. That's one of the longest prison sentences ever handed out to an ex-lawmaker.

From Dave Levinthal at the Center for Public Integrity:

“The @FEC has flagged @realDonaldTrump's 2020 re-election campaign for accepting 100 pages worth of "excessive" contributions.

While big prez campaigns — Dem & GOP — often make accounting errors, this is a lot.
