It’s pretty obvious what’s going on, use Ukraine as an example.

We use taxpayer money and send it to corrupt nations as foreign aid. The money is then stolen, laundered through state owned companies, and funneled back to US politicians in the name of campaign donations, consulting/speaking fees, and jobs to family members.

It is direct theft of taxpayer money based on a blatant lie to the American people.

If this doesn’t infuriate you and make you demand that people hang in the streets for this then you deserve to lose this great republic

It is the exact same thing with government contracts and I have been on here saying it for years and nobody listens. Compaines that are awarded government contracts are taking some of that money and funneling it back into the pockets of politicians and into their campaign funds as contributions. The entire system is broken and the only way to solve this is for the citizens to refuse to file income taxes. If we keep funding it will will continue to get the bullshite we have in Washington today.

It's just a bigger, broader expansion of the classic politician trick - buying your vote with your own money. They're now personally enriching themselves by doing this with foreign aid.

I would be interested to see a deep dive into this by a non- corrupt DOJ...we would literally have to build a new jail just to house politicians/lobbyists

Yes.

Isn't it very strange that this doesn't come to light until AFTER we elect an independently wealthy Outsider to the Office of POTUS?

Not strange at all, when you think about it.

The one positive of a Bernie presidency would be speeding up the inevitable downfall of this corrupt and rotting system.

This is why, regardless of how painful, we need to abolish the Fed,have a currency reset, and offer the new currency dollar for dollar for the old "FED" dollar. Any transaction or transfer over a certain dollar amount requires full accountability of where it came from. Let's see how many hundreds of billions if not trillions appear out of hidden accounts with no accountability of where it came from.

Tax payers are the free money bank for foreign countries and corrupt politicians

And this goes on at the state and local level also

I guess the word was out that the Ukraine was open for bidness. Interesting in all of this is the fact that Manafort is sitting in a jail cell because of income derived for working in.....UKRAINE.

everybody is in on this act

They are fighting Trump tooth & nail over ending the corruption.

They would arkancide Bernie with the quickness if he was elected.

We need to make it illegal for

1. Any campaign or PAC to accept money from any non US based company or any person who is not a citizen or legal resident of the US

2. Any US citizen to serve in any capacity for a company that is state owned by a foreign nation

3. Companies who do contract work for Govt cannot bid more than 25% above market price. The company, or any of its stockholders or upper management, cannot donate to a political campaign Super PAC. They can donate individually the max amount allowed on individual contributions directly to the candidate.

No current or former politician can accept any more than 25k for a speech given to any foreign entity. They can give no more than 6 speeches per year to foreign entities that are not directly sanctioned as necessary for their job as a public servant advancing US interests.

Nobody, regardless of party or idealogy or personal viewpoints, should be ok with tax dollars being stolen to enrich foreigners and our own politicians.

It helps nobody. It doesn’t build roads, fund programs, fund the military, help the poor and needy. It enriches the people who were elected to represent our interests and they’re using OUR money to advance THEIR interests. Nobody should accept that.
