Corporate donors to a green energy nonprofit operated by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s (D., Nev.) former staffers and a current campaign operative have received billions of dollars in federal loan guarantees and grant money as a result of Reid’s advocacy.

Fulcrum Bioenergy began contributing to the Clean Energy Project (CEP) in 2013. One year later, the Nevada Democrat steered tens of millions of dollars in federal grant money to the California biofuel company.

What? You thought I spent my life as a political tool assessing black candidates as being successful in part to their "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."? No. I did it to cash in through peddling my quid-pro-quo political influence, access to surreptitious sources of government largesse, gambling junkets and hooker parties.

theft pure and simple of taxpayer dollars.

Jailtime is warranted.

Any sentence he received would be too short.

I’d like to see him sharing a cell with 0vomit. That would come closer to true justice.

So Justice goes after the brown-skinned guy from NJ but not Whitey?
