I read 'em all. There's not a Democratic indictment in the bunch, though there are a couple of convictions on the Republican side.
And they're even after Hillary for matters thoroughly investigated years and years ago. Ridiculous. It didn't have Jefferson of Louisana, a Democratic Representative who apparently is as corrupt as a Republican.
In the Conservative Culture of Corruption the entire country has been for sale, every regulation, every protection. Large campaign contributors could be assured there would be minimal enforcement. Contracts were awarded without competition and when performance was poor or didn't happen, payments continued.
And Bush refused to prosecute. The scale of all that hasn't been seen in the US. Even the Justice Department was purged of attorneys who were willing to prosecute wrongdoing and attorneys who were not willing to prosecute Democrats for no good reason just to give the Republican candidate an issue.
This country and it's middle and lower economic classes will be paying for that Republican Culture of Corruption for a long, long time.
On top of everything else, Conservatives nominated a woman for VP who spent over $100,000 in the brief time she was a candidate, over $100,000 on makeup and hair dressers. That's on top of the clothes for her and her family, the purchase of which went on long after even Republicans protested. She'd be a great one to oversee government. Hell, she even charges Alaska for staying at her own home.
