Republican Greed and Crime: It’s Not Just For The President Anymore
Rhode Island Republican congressional candidate H. Russell Taub set up two fake Super PACs and then siphoned off more than $1 million in political donations for personal use to pay for vacations, strip club visits and escort services. But, to his credit, he did give a little more than half a million to political candidates, but he even did that illegally.
Along the way he got to meet some GOP VIPs who match his greed and chicanery.
Ted Cruz and Mike Pence both benefitted from his crooked dealings and Chris Christi will pose with anybody.
Russell Taub set up two fake super PACs – Keeping America in Republican Control and Keeping Ohio in Republican Control – and raised $1.6 million, primarily from one married couple in Ohio. Prosecutors say he made more than $215,000 in donations directly to the campaigns of federal candidates, illegal for Super PACs under federal law. And look at just a few who got the money (this will open in an Excel file.)
And here’s Taub, perhaps in a preview with his future roommate, Mike Flynn.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Ms. Juanita Jean Herownself, maybe it’s just me, but the links are going Error 404 – Not Found.
But it’s interesting. Taub is from RI, his principle donors Ohio (Kasich land) … was sort of expecting a Pence/Indiana connection. Would be happy with enough to take Pence out the door in handcuffs with Donnie. Please, please, please President Pelosi! As much fun as it is watching her give blue balls to the House snacilbupeR, what fun it would be to see her rein in Old Scratch McConnell.
1Allow me to propose making super pacs illegal, if only because of the frequent fraudulent use of same?
What’s-his-name on a crutch, can’t they keep they hands in their own pockets?
2Question: Do all Republicans have to pay for sex?
3Buttermilk Sky, transactional sex? Dog knows they are totally unfamiliar with the concept of consensual sex.
4Mr. Phillips, when a snocilbupeR is behind you with their hands in your pockets, it’s not your wallet that you need to be worried about.
5PKM, “is that your hand in my pocket, AND are you happy to see me?”
Mae West would be deeply disappointed with us.
6My but H. Russell Taub knows a lot of felons, doesn’t he?
7“…and ye shall know them by the company they keep.”
Yes, we do, don’t we??
8How fitting that the Republican thugs have hitched their slimy wagon to Trump’s criminal steed and he has dragged them down even lower than they were before he appeared.
9Oh, the work is piling up for the Democratic House to investigate and cull these felons from our government.
The days of no oversight are over.
