Your choices are……drum roll please,

1) The Book Deal
2) The Speech/Talk Circuit
3) The Suddenly an Artist

Right now my favorite and at the same time my least favorite is the Suddenly an Artist scam being worked by Hunter Biden. Dude has found a very creative way to launder some of his ill gotten Biden Crime Syndicate money. I’m sure there’s plenty of NWO American Marxists who will overpay by millions of dollars for Hunter’s Rembrandts.

The book deals are an old tried and true method for paying back Swampers and bureaucrats for keeping their faith in the Swamp System. Some dude like Comey or McCabe write a BS book, it’s immediately a NY Times best seller, they make the daytime TV dunce shows and make millions. I would like to see the detailed order records for these book sales. What’s the odds you’re gonna find orders for these lame books that are in the thousands by one entity? Odds are pretty good…like 100%

The Talk/Speech circuit? Pretty good money maker too. Get a few Fortune 500 Woke companies who are willing to donate $500k-750k for a one hour appearance and in a couple of years the Swampers are fabulously wealthy like the Clintons and Obama.

Book deal is great because it allows you to change/control the narrative and rewrite history.

Spend your career doing favors for a special interest and then get a job as a "consultant" after you retire.

That’s ^^^ a good one too. If I recall Comey was working for a MIC company making millions before returning to the government as FBI Director

Adjunct professorship/ guest lecturer at a university

“Analyst” position at a major news network

Head of a charity foundation in your name that doesn’t seem to do any actual charity work.

The old “charity/foundation” scam….The Clinton’s could make millions more just giving seminars on how to run an effective “charity/foundation” scam.

The one that pisses me off pretty regularly is all the money that's meant to supply clean drinking water to remote villages in Africa, yet in the last 50 years those villages still don't have clean water.

Many of those indigenous populations have completely moved on because the land they inhabit is unsustainable (which is the logical human thing to do) but we still paid for them to have water they never got.

That's only one of many things, but it's one that keeps recurrently infuriating me.

Appointment to a Board of Directors is another. Also, money laundering orgs like the Clinton Foundation.

Just think how angry some people get about a guy at the stoplight asking for change because he’s homeless or hitting people up for gas money to get home to Houston, yet the biggest grifters get away with so much more.

My favorite is putting family members on your campaign team.

Bernie has this perfected. All media buys have to go through wife to the clip of 5-8% off the top.

Russ Carnahan had an ingenious scam back in the day. Bought a house with owner financing (owner was a big Dem donor). In other words, put down none of his own money. Several years later, he sold the house to another donor for a very nice profit without ever having to put a dollar of his into the “project.”

There’s a possibility the dude begging for money to get back to Houston is legit. There’s nothing legit about Swamp enrichment scams…..they may be legal but they’re also grossly unethical.

You can never go wrong with good, old-fashioned insider trading.

True….but that’s still legal as long as the Swamper isn’t executing the trade or managing their own portfolio. They simply give the inside trade info to their portfolio manager/financial advisor.

I'm not a financial crimes expert but I'm pretty sure that's illegal

I’d love to know the specific quid pro quo on that.

What did he do, and for whom?
