When in the world is the corrupt Obama administration going to be investigated? Geitner, Dodd, Rangle, Pelosi, Reid, Boxer, Diane Feinstein and the list goes on and on are embroiled in fraud, pay back, tax evasion, kickbacks and other illegal activities. If this was the Bush administration these people would be investigated within weeks. No matter what proof of their innocence it wouldn't matter they would be branded as criminals. What a double standard. Why do we need TEA parties? This is why. Rampant corruption is encouraged by Obama as he advocates for and protects these people and he should be investigated also to see why he keeps putting criminals in his administration. Some of these people of course were voted in by Americans who screamed Culture of Corruption in a loud and angry voice when Bush was in office. We are now being ruled by an administration of criminals.
AFTER READING THE ABOVE FINSTEIN LINKS READ ARTICLE BELOW TO SEE JUST HOW CORRUPT DEMOCRAT FINSTEIN IS:
DIANE FINSTEIN RESIGNS IN ETHICS SCANDAL…not that the media cares
Posted Friday, March 30th, 2007 at 8:04 PM by Karl under hypocrites congress
If she had been a republican this would be a lead item, but since she is prissy DiFi from California, former Mayor of moonbat central, San Francisco, this is a back page yawn.
Feinstein Resigns
Senator exits MILCON following Metro exposé, vet-care scandal
SEN. Dianne Feinstein has resigned from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee. As previously and extensively reviewed in these pages, Feinstein was chairperson and ranking member of MILCON for six years, during which time she had a conflict of interest due to her husband Richard C. Blum's ownership of two major defense contractors, who were awarded billions of dollars for military construction projects approved by Feinstein.
As MILCON leader, Feinstein relished the details of military construction, even micromanaging one project at the level of its sewer design. She regularly took junkets to military bases around the world to inspect construction projects, some of which were contracted to her husband's companies, Perini Corp. and URS Corp.
Perhaps she resigned from MILCON because she could not take the heat generated by Metro's expose of her ethics (which was partially funded by the Investigative Fund of the Nation Institute). Or was her work on the subcommittee finished because Blum divested ownership of his military construction and advanced weapons manufacturing firms in late 2005?
Oh, interesting twist. She didn't quit during the time she had a conflict of interest but after her conflict of interest was effectively over? How Bizarre.
Feinstein abandoned MILCON as her ethical problems were surfacing in the media, and as it was becoming clear that her subcommittee left grievously wounded veterans to rot while her family was profiting from the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. It turns out that Blum also holds large investments in companies that were selling medical equipment and supplies and real estate leases—often without the benefit of competitive bidding—to the Department of Veterans Affairs, even as the system of medical care for veterans collapsed on his wife's watch.
Who knows. Congress has a focus that is solely anti Bush and anti republican; so don't expect too many people to care. She will just walk away from this.
Thanks again to the Democrats for fighting against the culture of corruption....
