Feinstein is a Crook.

Senator's husband's firm cashes in on crisis



On the day the new Congress convened this year, Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband's real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.
She has the government give $25 Billion to the company that hired her husband's firm.

Hmmmmmmm.........

The vast majority are crooks, but some are just more obvious than others.

Feinstein responds: Let them eat cake!

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein today dismissed as "nonsense" allegations that her efforts to bolster funding for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which protects bank depositors, aided her husband Richard Blum's real estate firm.

I will agree with this statement. Who actually votes for her? I have never talked to anyone who actually supported her..

I smell conspiracy.

i agree with you and the OP, but don't forget it goes on both sides of the aisle.

Politics, unfortunately, moves with "greased" parts.

I agree...but this is perhaps the most blatant & serious instance of "power abuse" I've heard about in some time.
