'Unparalleled in its audacity and scope': Herschel Walker implicated in 'jaw-dropping' wire fraud sc

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Failed United States Senate candidate Herschel Walker (R-Georgia) — who had the backing of former President Donald Trump — has been implicated in an "unprecedented," "stunning," and "jaw-dropping" scandal involving crimes such as wire fraud and campaign finance violations.

Late Wednesday evening, The Daily Beast exclusively reported that Walker solicited "hundreds of thousands of dollars" from billionaire benefactor Dennis Washington in March of 2022 "for his own personal company—a company that he never disclosed on his financial statements."

Correspondent Roger Sollenberger revealed that "emails obtained by The Daily Beast—and verified as authentic by a person with knowledge of the exchanges—show that Walker asked Washington to wire $535,200 directly to that undisclosed company, HR Talent, LLC. And the emails reveal that not only did Washington complete Walker's wire requests, he was under the impression that these were, in fact, political contributions."

Sollenberger noted that "in the best possible circumstances, legal experts told The Daily Beast, the emails suggest exponential violations of federal fundraising rules; in the worst case, they could be an indication of more serious crimes, such as wire fraud."

That, however, represents the tip of a gigantic iceberg of alleged corruption.

"According to the legal experts who spoke to The Daily Beast for this article, this scheme appears to not just be illegal—it appears to be unparalleled in its audacity and scope," Sollenberger wrote. "The transactions raise questions about a slew of possible violations. In fact, these experts all said, the scheme was so brazen that it appears to defy explanation, ranking it among the most egregious campaign finance violations in modern history."

4. Candidate quality strikes again.

500k rip off makes Santos look like a piker.

Guess Walker knew he was going to lose so he decided to get something out of it...and thought he could get away with it. Never was the sharpest knife in the drawer.

11. And that's not all!

Not even the sharpest plastic knife. I feel pity here, he trashed his brain for nothing.

5. Does this mean he's going to run for the Senate again?

When a repuke gets implicated in financial shenanigans nowadays, it seems to prompt a run for office.

6. So when will he be arrested?

7. I think this is Dennis Washington from Montana.

Owns Montana Rail Link. Hates the government, but made his initial fortune off of the building of interstate highways through Montana. Has a big company that does EPA remediation on the plethora of Superfund sites in Montana. Bought the Vancouver Ship yards. As you can see, he has not very much to do with Georgia but is really into federal policy, like train safety deregulation and tax breaks.

This story hi lights so many problems with ur current campaign finance laws both in spirit and execution.

9. Holy crap. I think you're right.

Dennis Washington is my neighbor. For real. Montana Rail Link was recently taken over by BNSF. He’s most likely a RWNJ. Most billionaires are.

12. My guess?

I would think maybe 5 or less aren't. Bill Gates is about the only one I can think of who might not be.

13. Honestly I'm surprised.

And I shouldn’t be.
