Anyone who knows much about real power in Congress knows that almost every member of the House and Senate lusts after a seat on the Appropriations Committee and hopes one day to achieve the status of Cardinal. The Cardinals, of course, are the folks who chair the various Appropriations Committee subcommittees and literally control the billions of dollars that pass through their hands.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D) chairs the Senate Rules Committee, but shes also a Cardinal. She is currently chairwoman of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies subcommittee, but until last year was for six years the top Democrat on the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies (or Milcon) sub-committee, where she may have directed more than $1 billion to companies controlled by her husband.
If the inferences finally coming out about what she did while on Milcon prove true, she may be on the way to morphing from a respected senior Democrat into another poster child for congressional corruption.

She just wants to make sure that California gets its fair share of tax dollars. Starting with her.

The 2nd image is more attractive (or lest us say less hideous) than the 1st............
That second pic looks more like Carville.... lol
“.....where she may have directed billions of dollars to companies controlled by her husband....”
such an allegation cannot be true because senator feinstein is a democrat, and democrats are compassionate, smart, loving, decent, unselfish, filled with affection for mankind, not interested in profit, above the rest of humanity, and without sin.
therefore, there will be no inquiry because any allegations of wrong-doing cannot be true because of the above reasons.
I’m glad to see this in The Hill, glad Melanie Sloan is on Feinstein’s case, but “shenanigans” hardly describes this level of congressional greed and corruption.
DiFi ...20 years. Do we have a chance, or is the law only for the lowly and Republicans?
Well, we have that bulldog law enforcement officer, Alberto Gonzales, heading up the DOJ. Nothing gets by this guy, right?
btt
And this from the woman who told Trent Lott, who said he refused to be bribed (ie with pork) for his vote on the troop funding bill that, “If Senator Lott doesn’t want federal money is MS for Katrina victims, we’d be glad to take it in California.
What a criminal.
Pigs will be flying upside down and backwards before there is even coverage of any Democrat wrongdoing, much less punishment. Their MSM will see to that.
What is THAT and is it even HUMAN???!!!
I don’t remember how to embed a graphic, but I was thinking he looks more like the missing third of these triplets:
