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.

Is there a story or investigation going on?

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

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

It’d be like doing a story on the discovery of lobbyists on K Street. This is the normal method of laundering and redirecting “campaign” money to personal pockets.

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.

Do y’all remember Bernie Sanders scam? Had his wife help run his campaign so they could cash those phat checks.

Clyburn was the conduit for Tate’s selection at LSU. Clyburn=>Richmond=>JBE. Not a comment on Tate, merely highlighting the obvious: the thirst for political power has little to do with governing and public service.

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.

Certain democrats always do this.

Media covers for them and it goes away.

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.
