Ever wonder how lowly paid lawmakers leave office filthy rich?
Sen. Dianne Feinstein is showing how it’s done.\
The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings — so it can lease
space more expensively — and the real estate company of the California
senator’s husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in
commissions.
Blum’s company, CBRE, was selected in March 2011 as the sole real
estate agent on sales expected to fetch $19 billion. Most voters didn’t
notice that Blum is a member of CBRE’s board and served as chairman from
2001 to 2014.
This feat of federal spousal support was ignored by the media after
Feinstein’s office said the senator, whose wealth is pegged at $70
million, had nothing to do with the USPS decisions.
When the national debt is $18 trillion, a billion seems like small change.
Anyone wonder what the process was to select an agent?
If there was just one bidder and how that was justified?
If there was more than one ‘competitor’?
If the competitor, assuming there was one was compensated for a ‘losing bid’?
I saw Feinstein looking her mirror with a pensive look on her face…
'When you are in power for along time it's just not that big a sin,
right? I mean SOMEONE had to get the bid, right? Why not my hubby,
Dick?'
I’ve been wrong about the Tea Party. I have always maintained there
are only 2 issues that Tea Party folks and agree on, the need to adhere
to the founding document and it’s amendments, and financial
responsibility.
THIS IS A THIRD
Government is by nature CORRUPT because it is manned by humans, therefore it must always be curbed.
ALWAYS
