Katie Porter goes after Trump, uncovering potential bribery scheme

https://www.msnbc.com/the-last-word/watch/katie-porter-goes-after-trump-uncovering-potential-bribery-scheme-139831365638

"SNIP.......

For the first time in history, the House Natural Resources Committee made a criminal referral with the Justice Department. That’s after a three-year investigation by Democrats revealing evidence of possible donations to the Trump campaign in exchange for federal government approval of Arizona real estate deals. Calling this “egregious,” Rep. Katie Porter tells MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, this shows the importance of Congress “reestablishing the rule of law and the expectation that administration officials are going to follow it.”

1. Republican Casino-Hustler-in-Chief is the Greatest Grifter of His Generation

Republicans venerate the Grifter-Groper as their moral leader, and hold him up as The Best of the Republicans, and the champion family-values role model for their children.

3. Didn't most of his cabinet "BUY" the spot?

Never forget OOPS boy was made Sec. of Energy!

5. Thanks for linking to your earlier post on this. Too bad it is so hard on DU to check

for similar earlier posts.

Just a nice little note as one of us is composing a new post:

11. Well, I always check before I post, using the Search This Forum tab at the top

Though much of what I post, as with Lawrence O'Donnell last night, I was waiting for Katie Porter's interview to be available, so it was brand new. And since this is a different forum - I post the videos in V&M - it really doesn't count since this was posted in GD as a news story. But I agree with you, having first served as an LBN moderator back in the day, duplicates make me crazy! Thanks!

8. Oh sorry. Rhi. Did not see your earlier post. Should I leave mine up? N/T

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Oh no! This is fine. I posted the video in V&M, this is a news story in GD.

I just added the video since it was more accessible and it also served to kick this important thread! Everyone needs to hear Katie Porter!

16. Thanks.

7. Great

Love her,but this is just another thing he is getting away with, nothing will be done

9. Under Trump, the motto on the Presidential Seal was "But, first I'm going to need a favor".

If you don't believe that Trump leveraged the office of the president and national/international policy to extort millions, you probably believe in unicorns that fart rainbows.

Find the offshore accounts, get the witnesses to the phone calls, indict, prosecute, imprison!

25. Spot on!

[Ziggysmom]

10. I'd love to see Katie and her whiteboard destroy the orange piece of shit!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. And she's the one to do it!

[Scrivener7]

20. She is! Please, oh please, let it be.

17. And a little birdie told me

The biologist involved was not overly protective with regards to the ESA. In other words, environmentally speaking, this project should have been a No Go.

18. The corruption during the Trump years is still being uncovered.

I suspect there was nothing but corruption. After all, agency heads weren’t there to do the people’s business, they were there to feather their own nests.

We have had an informative look at how corruption in government impacts a country’s potential with the performance of Russia’s army. Corruption at the top trickles down to corruption everywhere, and it is that level of corruption that Republicans want for the US.

[Scrivener7]

19. But there are peaceful protests outside Justices' houses, and those need to be

dealt with first! For the love of God, they need to be dealt with before they pull out the Antifa sidewalk chalk!

21. Let's get our priorities straight!

22. The RePutinican Party under the SlobFather has become a

blight on the country. It’s infected everything and continues to spread.

[WiVoter]

23. Damn, I Love Her!

Her future will be amazing! A leader we need! Hope in a world that needs it so very much. ❤️

24. Have they broken ground and started building? I hope not. And if they have I hope they are

forced to stop and put everything back where it was.

26. Another Teapot Dome？ He's already done Watergate and a quasi Iran/Contra with Ukraine.

[Thunderbeast]

27. A new scandal EVERY DAY!

A ven diagram of Republican office-holders and corrupt officials is nearly a perfect circle. The GOP is successfully purging every patriotic conservative from it's ranks and replacing them with Mara Lago loyalists.

28. I hope this woman is our President someday. K&r, nt.
