A wall is closing in on Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush, a member of the infamous “Squad” and one of America's most divisive “leaders.” We can now officially call her #CrookedCori.
As we speak, the Department of Justice investigating President Bush was indicted on widespread campaign finance violations stemming from Congressional campaign spending on bogus security services by Courtney Merritt, girlfriend and current husband of an apparently unqualified “security guard.”
Bush claims she needs security because of all the death threats made against her, but she hasn't presented any evidence, making it sound like she's pulling a Jussie Smollett.
Thankfully, the American people are not stupid, and neither are federal regulators.
President Bush's illegal activities were first exposed. Committee to Defeat Presidential Charges I proudly filed it with the Federal Election Commission. Blame embezzlement bush and scam. Under the guise of “security,” Bush repeatedly lined his family's pockets at the expense of donors, violating federal and local laws in the process. Either she paid her ex-lover and her current husband to do work he couldn't legally provide (she violated federal law, he violated local law), or just Either they just paid him. (It turns out you can't just pay to see the loot.)
In any case, Bush broke the law and failed to cover it up. Mr. Bush's team changed his FEC description of the recurring payments, leading us to file subsequent complaints with his FEC and Department of Justice.But those people still She didn't get her husband licensed (why wouldn't she?), didn't provide any evidence of so-called blackmail (why wouldn't she?), and couldn't prove her husband's “extensive security experience” (why wouldn't she?). Again, why not?).
What Bush did was send her lawyer They ran after us desperately trying to stop the bleeding, but we never turned back. We fought back.
It took me a long time to take responsibility. But the Justice Department's current investigation did not begin out of nowhere. Mr. Bush is now being held accountable, thanks to months of due diligence by conservative fighters who tried to turn a blind eye. It takes a bare-faced group like the Committee to Overthrow the President to regularly fight for “small” causes, but here's what we think: big result.
Yes, campaign finance expertise is required. Yes, you need to have a deep understanding of federal, state, and local laws and know where to look for what and who to look at. And certainly, it takes time, effort, and money to comb through research, identify relevant laws and regulations, and package everything in a way that resonates with regulators. In this case, we alerted her FEC. Office of Congressional Ethics. St. Louis Police Department. Washington, DC, City Regulatory Authority. This type of due diligence is not easy to perform and maintain, especially for the Department of Justice (twice!).
Above all, it requires tenacity and resilience. It takes a thick skin to hold the culprit accountable.
It's important to stay the course, no matter how long it takes. Over the years, I've become known for picking on deserving Democrats time and time again, regardless of the outcome.Hillary Clinton is held Thanks to the tenacious efforts I led as well as the socialists at the Coolidge-Reagan Foundation, this is the first and only time in her career that she has been held accountable and fined. Bernie Sanders. I work with other demanding clients and AOC, michael bloombergand joe bidenamong other bad actors in the Beltway, while defending our right to free speech, even if it's not popular, easy, or cheap.
As Americans, it is our collective duty to hold those in power accountable, regardless of their level of power. Therefore, I urge Americans to remain principled in 2024 and remain committed to holding wrongdoers accountable. Now, more than ever, we need outside groups to continue to hold bad actors accountable, especially left-wing politicians in their relentless pursuit of undermining America's greatness. We can all do the work and support the work that is being done. Because it's the work that matters.
The radical left won't like it.Bush is still blame The watchdogs of the “right wing” who did their duty instead of finding a mirror.
But that doesn't stop us. Now we are all guard dogs, not on any leash.
