On Wednesday, local news station KDVR and the Associated Press reported that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), an infamously outspoken pro-Trump and QAnon-curious freshman lawmaker, failed to disclose income her husband made from an energy firm when she was running for Congress in 2020.


"In paperwork filed with the House of Representatives on Tuesday, the Republican congresswoman reported that her husband, Jayson Boebert, received the money as a consultant to 'Terra Energy Productions' in 2020, and earned $460,000 as a consultant for the firm in 2019," said the report. "Boebert did not report the income last year, when she stunned the political world by ousting incumbent Rep. Scott Tipton during the GOP primary in Colorado's sprawling 3rd district, which stretches from ski resorts to energy-rich basins in the state's west. Boebert went on to win the general election in the Republican-leaning district."

No company called "Terra Energy Productions" appears to exist, but the disclosure could actually mean Terra Energy Partners, a Texas-based gas firm that operates wells in Boebert's district. Boebert has been a fierce opponent of climate legislation, some of which could reduce gas production in the long run.

1. Half a million here, half a million there

Who can keep track if you’re a bobblehead like boebert.

2. LOL. Corruption much? "Jayson Boebert, received ... $460,000 as a consultant"

Jayson Boebert's CV consists of "working in oil and gas fields" and, now, co-owner with his wife of a joint called "Shooters Grill." Well, if that doesn't warrant his value as a high-paid "consultant," I don't know what is!!111!!!

3. Somehow, the words "lawmaker" and "Boebert"

don’t seem to fit together…

4. She's definitely a Republican

a corrupt, lying, nut case

5. It appears to me

that Terra Energy gave money to Lauren's husband as a consultant to bypass campaign finance laws. How many other gas consultants make that kind of money? Just asking.

6. Grifters and cons just like tfg. Did hubby show them his snarlygaster, too?

It's called a bribe and money laundering.

7. I really hope she runs for President.

She is the most crazy and that is saying something 'cause the competition is fierce.

8. That's a shit-load of money for an oil& gas "consultant."

Will be interesting to see what he did in the way of actual work.

9. I shocked I tell you, absolutely shocked!!! Well, not really.

After all by now probably 99% of Americans know that Republicans pretty much are crooked.
That will not of course cause many Republican voters to change though as they will still vote for them as they do not care that the people they vote for might be liars as all they care about is that they vote for a Republican.
