Shocking

quote:

Democratic Rep. James Clyburn funneled six figures worth of campaign cash to two of his family members throughout the 2022 election cycle, filings show.
The longtime congressman's campaign largesse included forking tens of thousands of dollars over to a company linked to his son-in-law. He also sent nearly $100,000 to his grandson, Federal Election Commission records show.

The is what our government has become....a gravy train for self-enrichment. Serving their constituents is an afterthought.

While it's legal for federal politicians to pay family members from their campaigns, ethics experts have generally disapproved of the practice. Despite this, both political parties have taken advantage of the perk.
Nothing will happen.

That dudes district was created specifically for him. He could be caught on live TV raping a teenage boy and sacrificing a little girl and s get 66% of his vote.

He raises millions of outside money and does about 5% of that in advertising because he knows it is all gravy

Nothing new about a politician and money. But since James Clyburn was the conduit for Biden’s election you can bet he’s the safest son of a bitch in Washington

Not too surprising if true. Clyburn is credited with pulling Biden out of the ash heap during the 2020 primary when Clyburn endorsed Biden knowing full well Biden is the most corrupt candidate to ever run for president.

Democrats don't care about stuff like that. Maxine Waters and Ilhan Omar have been accused of the same thing.

Six figures is a slow week for the Biden grifter family.

They all do this. All 535 of the worthless cock suckers.


Every single American should be forced to watch the movie "the Distinguished Gentleman" 100 times before being allowed to vote.

It’s racist to point out when blacks commit crimes. It’s hate crime to charge them for the crime they committed. 1619 you bigots.

Been going on for decades.....

Campaign warchests dwarf the 200K salary for the job in DC....there is something fundamentally wrong with this!

Problem is, the DC swamp will never vote to cut their income!

Clyburns district is one of the poorest and highest crime areas in South Carolina. He is normally only seen once a year and that's at his fish fry. Clyburns has all the preacher's in his back pocket and for a certain segment of our population you vote the way the church tells you to.

*BIGOT* of the highest order -

in his warped mind - that money he stole (not just this past election cycle) and passed around is nothing more than "reparations" - go back all the way to 1993 and see what has been 'funneled' -
