Congress on Red Alert for 60 Minutes Exposé of D.C. Corruption (!!Tonight!!)
Breibart ^ | 10/20/2013 | Wynton Hall

Posted on 10/20/2013 2:14:57 PM PDT by ImJustAnotherOkie

Members of Congress and their staffs are on red alert tonight for a CBS 60 Minutes investigation by veteran CBS reporter Steve Kroft and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer exposing how lawmakers convert campaign donations into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members.

Sources say top CBS executives thought the report was so explosive that they made it the show’s lead story and delayed airing it for another week in order to capture tonight’s much larger NFL-viewing audience. The report features selected revelations from Schweizer’s forthcoming book, Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets.

I've not watched 60 minutes in years. Maybe the ObamaCare Fiasco has clued a few people in...

I’m sure it’ll be accurate, fair and balanced as are all 60 Minutes segments.

“lawmakers convert campaign donations into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members”

Think the Clinton Clan will get a mention?

“60 minutes ?”

Maybe they should devote 60 days.

This is a surprise to people? No one wonders why so much money is spent for a job that pays well (but not THAT well) and why those people end up nearly uniformly as millionaires?

No interest in watching unless they are going to cover both sides of the aisle

about? Corruption!
Amazing how this happens.

They will pick on every Republican and never mention a democrat because to do so would be raciss. And of course it will all be W’s fault.

Pelosi's party jet is old news, and earmarking funds that benefit her husband's investments around the San Francisco Bay

Not sure 60 would even cover it all. There is grist for the mill in this story. We have nearly 545 grifters there, not counting staff and management of the various buracries.

435 member of Congress. 9 supreme court justices and one president.

Are they going to cover Charlie Rangel? Or will this be a GOP-only exposé?

I watched it a couple of weeks ago when they did a story about people scamming the Social Security disability system. First time that I have watched 60 minutes in about 30 years.

I'll watch this story tonight about DC corruption.

Seems like CBS wants to do some real journalism for a change. They even joined up with a Breitbart contributor. I'm sure that a few IRS audits and some veiled threats to pull the licenses of the CBS owned TV stations will get them back on the liberal reservation.
