THIS IS INSANE 😳

"#DougFord is going to spend more on his new vote-buying scam ($3.2 Billion) than Mike Harris sold the 407 for ($3.1 Billion)"

Reminder: this bribe money is not "free money," it's our tax money. Money that could be spent on public services like healthcare & education.

"I don't want a $200 cheque...I want a DOCTOR!"

“…the defendant also poses a significant risk of #ObstructingJustice. …the defendant has attempted to #bribe security staff & threatened & interfered w/ #witnesses to his #criminal conduct. He has already tried to #obstruct the Govt’s investigation…,repeatedly contacting victims & #witnesses & feeding them false narratives of events….There are simply no conditions that would ensure that the defendant’s efforts to obstruct & tamper w/witnesses will stop.“

Ukraine's deputy #energy #minister is under arrest on #corruption charges, the SBU reported.

He allegedly demanded a #bribe from a state coal company to help transport advanced mining equipment from the #Donetsk region, where heavy fighting is currently raging, to western #Ukraine.

>> #Bribe-fattened #SCOTUS #Justices, as part of the #secureSocialElites, have turned the #SupremeCourt into a #venalPublicOffice.

We have already seen Supreme Court Justices #ClarenceThomas, #SamuelAlito, and #BrettKavanaugh bought by wealthy benefactors.

Without a #wealthTax, social secure elites like #LeonardLeo and #HarlanCrow can effectively pass Supreme Court seats down to their children.

And SCOTUS will make it legal to resell them to 3rd-parties just like in olden times. Splendid!

⬆️ #FalseHopes

#Bribe-fattened #SCOTUS #Justices, as part of the #secureSocialElites, have turned the #SupremeCourt into a #venalPublicOffice by ruling that #Corruption Law did not apply to tips, gifts, and payments meant to reward actions taken by state and local officials.

They did this by distinguishing after-the-fact rewards for #officialAction from before-the-fact bribes.

You’re in luck if you’re a fan of #dystopian fiction.

#SCOTUS, #Republicans, #DarkMoney, #Corporations, etc don’t want #FederalAgencies able to set or enforce #regulations.

No #SEC regs? #Rich get richer & a get a #peasant class to serve them.

No #EPA regs? Corps #pollute the #earth, heedless of #PublicHealth, #ecosystems, or the #planet. As long as they cut costs for #shareholders.

Go ahead & #bribe public ofcls just do it after they give you what you want (or make it look that way).

No one will ever convince me that #CyVanceJr didn't accept a #bribe from #Trump for the #SoHo deal, and then again to slow walk the recent prosecution until Vance was able to retire. Then #Bragg picked up where Vance left off (slow walking) until public pressure became too strong to withstand. Why did the two special prosecutors quit after Bragg came into office? What did they know? Bragg isn't a hero.
