Uncle Sam Posted August 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Quote Well before her current political fame, though, she mastered this somewhat-rare form of fundraising in slate mailers. California’s top politicians as well as local office-seekers have given far in excess of legal contribution limits to her campaign to be on her slate of endorsed candidates. The campaign then pays Karen Waters and other firms to produce, print and mail the sample ballots. The FEC approved the practice by Waters in 2004. FEC Maxine Waters 750K Wire Fraud Well blow me down and call me Shirley. I saw this coming from a miles and miles away. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpandMyMind Posted August 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2018 This doesn't seem politically motivated at all. I suppose it's an attempt to combat the GOP politicians who were recently charged with actual crimes. Was it 2 or 3 of them hit on the same day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. Attorney Erin Nealy Cox announced that Dwaine Caraway, Dallas city council member and mayor pro tem, received funds “in the form of a phony consulting agreement, luxury suits, fully funded trips, gambling money, repayment of personal debt, checks and cash” from businessman Robert Leonard. Caraway reportedly supported “key votes to promote and continue” a program putting cameras on school buses; that program was connected to Leonard, who owned the stop-arm camera company that took millions from the Dallas County Schools, as the Dallas Morning News reported. Cox also stated that Leonard pled guilty to conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud. Well that's nice... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztek Posted August 13, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) i remember how they were pushing for those cameras here, few years back, so far i have not seen a single bus equipped with such device in nyc, to be honest i do not think it is a bad idea in general. the details however scream corruption.

Politics is the rich doing favors for the rich. It infests every level from the local up to the Federal. There is no way to root out all the corruption now other than wiping the entire slate clean. It's been going on for so long it's actually become a part of the system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
