In the wake of the revelation that $34 million was transferred from taxpayer wallets into the coffers of far-left media outlet Politico, the Trump administration has ordered the General Services Administration (GSA) to terminate all media contracts for which the GSA currently pays. Included in the list of outlets affected are the aforementioned Politico—whose "Pro" product has gotten particular scrutiny—plus Bloomberg and the BBC. //

I checked Politico’s website yesterday. No subscription is needed online. International print editions max out at $600 per year. They are available in print for free in Washington DC.

There was no cost to use Politico. This was blatant money laundering to buy favorable news coverage. This is criminal, prosecute them. //

I find myself commetning after just the first sentence.

“In the wake of the revelation that $34 million was transferred from taxpayer wallets into the coffers of far-left media outlet Politico . . . “

Can we please agree these federal taxpayer funds were not “transferred”? They were laundered. Let’s use the correct term.

Fired is not enough, For this level of insane corruption people need to go to jail.

Now do you see why the Dems were so afraid of Trump? All the screeching and all the theatrics, all the lawfare and the assassination attempts, it was all to prevent this day from happening. And we haven't even gotten to the really good stuff yet. Just imagine all the shenanigans waiting to be uncovered over at Medicare and Medicaid. The Dems are screwed and they don't know what to do. who's gonna vote for them after this? We already see their own constituents tune them out as they faux rage over this.

The people have woke up. Now everyone knows the Dems have been full of feces the whole time. It was never about making things better or serving the down trodden. It was about money and power.

This has me thinking of Henry Hill in Goodfellas: "We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over."
