Mayor Adams’ corruption indictment involving the government of Turkey seems like weak tea compared to other recent scandals.
But it also indicates just how intertwined America’s ruling class has become with foreign governments — and foreign money.
...
Adams asserts that the prosecution is payback for his criticism of Biden-Harris immigration policies
...
American politics, all the way to the top, is riddled with corruption and foreign cash
...
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) revealed an extravaganza of gold bars and envelopes full of cash (along with a Mercedes and, weirdly, basement carpeting) in exchange for favors
...
involving gifts and trips to the Dominican Republic.
Menendez resigned from the Senate after being convicted of federal bribery charges for acting as an agent of the Egyptian government.
Hunter Biden’s ties with the Ukrainian firm Burisma and a number of Chinese companies are well-known — as are the allegations that Joe Biden was a direct beneficiary.
An analysis of Hunter’s laptop and other documents revealed he raked in at least $11 million from those and other shady overseas sources between 2013 and 2018.
Just this week, we learned that whistleblowers from within the Department of Homeland Security have raised serious concerns about Kamala’s running mate Tim Walz’s numerous visits to China while a member of the US military, and his expressed admiration for China’s communist system.
You can’t make this stuff up, and sadly you don’t have to.
...
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) has been charged with taking money from a Mexican bank and a state-owned Azerbaijani oil company to push favorable policies in Congress.
It seems you can’t turn over a rock at just about any level of our government without finding some kind of foreign influence at play — it’s “just the way business is done” nowadays.

Think about it.
A six figure salary. All manner of perks including a mansion.
And still he steals.
