Suddenly there are three serious leaks after the Turtle opposes tariffs against Mexico.
I smell the Con here. Couldn't happen to a nicer couple.

She was George Bush’s (43) Labor Secretary. She didn’t even know what the minimum wage was at the time. She is incompetent. Now we know the depth of her corruption.

scandal or corrupt member of the tRumpy administration would require 24/7 365 days a year with a tenfold increase in staff and investigators. The sheer scope of corruption and malfeasance is unprecedented. Actually hard for me to wrap my head around all of it - and I'm retired and an avid reader.

The BushCrimeFamily didn't destroy our democratic institutions as has the COPO (CorruptOrangePutinOrg.) They didn't commit Treason as 45 has, yet this is headshakingly horrible:

— Operated a secret global network of torture prisons.

— Refused to comply with a SCOTUS order to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

— Fired US attorneys who wouldn’t agree to gin up bogus voter fraud cases.

— Launched a WAR on false pretenses.

To which I'll add:

— Also stole a Presidential election.

— Sent $12bn in cash to Iraq that disappeared.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1

Proof that the GOP is corrupt to the bone.

And like victims of a Mafia protection scam, we've been letting them get away with it. "Hand it over or we'll destroy the country."
