Dem culture of corruption... time to drain the swamp
where do I start .
California where state senator Leland Yee has been busted for a number of charges involving your typical run of the mill corruption . But the whopper is that this supporter of restricting 2nd amendment rights was nabbed in a plot to deal firearms without a license and illegally import firearms. He claimed to be able to supply shoulder fired missiles and automatic weapons . He was arrested along with an Asian gang leader named 'Shrimp Boy' . He was until yesterday ,a candidate for Cal. Sec State .
Mayor Patrick Cannon of Charlotte resigned after he was charged with federal public corruption and accused of taking bribes in an FBI sting. He often bragged about partying with the Obamas to help grease the wheels for city projects.
Former New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin’s was convicted in January on corruption charges...We've already discussed former San Diego mayor ;serial groper Bob Filner.
...and former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick’s conviction on extortion, bribery, and conspiracy charges. Ditto for former Birmingham mayor Larry Langford ( corruption and bribery conviction).
This week a judge ruled that Pa. could proceed with a trial against state Sen LeAnna Washington, who forced her staff for eight years to use taxpayer time and money for an annual birthday party whose proceeds were diverted to her campaign account.
She yelled at one staffer “I am the f—ing senator,” she screamed at one staffer who objected. “I do what the f— I want, and ain’t nobody going to change me.”
Illinois state representative Keith Farnham ,sponsor of anti-child porn laws was nabbed for possession of child porn...... research ?
Harry Reid ... just the name oozes corruption. The latest charge is that he purchased $17 ,000 in gifts with campaign cash from his granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid .... The checks went out to Ryan Elisabeth. She has a jewelry business and the campaign purchased some from her for gifts to donors.
Holder's Justice Dept is going to let him off easy .
Here are a few more :
former Trenton mayor Tony Mack’s February conviction on charges of accepting cash bribes ;former Birmingham mayor Larry Langford ... corruption and bribery conviction...Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox ,the target of several criminal investigations by the U.S. attorney’s office, the FBI, the IRS, and state police.California state senator Ronald Calderon, ...on a paid leave of absence after being hit with a 24 count federal indictment for bribery and corruption. His brother is also under investigation . Among the many charges is that he paid his daughter $39,000 for a no show office job. California state senator Roderick Wright convicted on felony perjury, false declaration of candidacy, and fraudulent-voting charges. New York state assemblyman Bill Scarborough, corrupt travel-voucher practices(per-diem claims totaling $60,000).
and so on.
There are some that are saying the Dems are clearing the deck now so that the public will forget about this in November. They say that Holder et al will then concentrate on using the hammer on Republicans come September .
But I think this is just the start .
