From the military committee she was on, and this was posted a few days ago on Hot Air, if I recall correctly. I THOUGHT it was posted here on FR as well... /shrug

Oh, it is just from the committee she was on that conflicted with her husbands business concerning the 'comfort' of the veterans.

Knew it was too good to be true! She only resigned from the MILCON subcommittee, not the Senate.

I doubt it, but I do believe you will be gone from this forum in a few seconds. Your post has a definite odor of troll about it.

IBTZ!

partial excerpt:

Senator exits MILCON following Metro exposé, vet-care scandal

By Peter Byrne



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.

Resigned from the mentally stable club. Not that she ever really participated in the first place.
