Lindsey Graham made a very provocative comment.

Pointing up stairs, he said of congress: “How many members of this body have children on the boards of foreign companies?”

Pelosi for sure.

Cruz was all over this as well. My take is Graham and Cruz are trying to dissuade Dems from going down the witness path by giving them a preview of what lie on the other side.

Grrrrrrrr. This is like saying, "We all know the truth. Let's avoid it."

That swamp is never going to get drained.

“How many members of this body have children on the boards of foreign companies?”

On FR I’ve seen a graphic showing that there are at least four of the RATs who have kids in these positions.

Nice take.......if we had real journos, they'd be on this like white on rice.

*************

Why is this allowed in the first place. If Gramham and Cruz don’t like it why don’t they do something about it? It obviously leads to corruption and unhealthy influence peddling.

The simple answer is they don’t really care what their corrupt colleagues do. Its all one big happy family on the Hill.
