From the time they arrive in Washington, newly elected members of Congress are told they are something special, an elite class. But too many members of both the House and Senate treat their “special place in life and in American history” as a license to steal, living large at taxpayer expense, ignoring laws that apply to ordinary Americans and betraying the trust of the public that put them there.
— Capitol Hill Blue, “America’s Criminal Class”

Of course since they supposedly “police” themselves and enjoy a partisan media that nurses off the largess, this has conveniently remained under the public radar. It also partially explains why the counties surrounding the District of Columbia are some of the wealthiest in the nation.

The revelations into the Biden family “business” enterprises have also revealed just how that proud tradition continues to this day.

A list of “key domestic contacts” for a joint venture involving Jim and Hunter Biden and now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co. included former Vice President Joe Biden’s current running mate Sen. Kamala Harris, among other prominent Democrats, Fox News has learned. An email exclusively obtained by Fox News, with the subject line “Phase one domestic contacts/ projects” and dated May 15, 2017, Biden’s brother, Jim Biden, shared a list of “key domestic contacts for phase one target projects.”

It is unclear if any of the Democrats were ever contacted about the “target projects.”
— Fox News, 10/22/20

We’ll have to wait until the dogged at the New York Times get on the case.

And who was on this email? It reads like a mostly prominent-Democrat who’s who of “domestic contacts” for what could’ve been very lucrative projects in the United States….

1. New York State

2. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio

3. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, previous head of the DNC and former Clinton Campaign chair.

4. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton (D)

As of now, the Biden family and their business dealings are under a liberal media-reluctant microscope.

“I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw,” he said. “The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist-controlled China.”
— Tony Bobulinksi, institutional investor recruited by the Biden family to run their joint-venture with now-bankrupt CEFC China Energy Co.

There are many corporations and prominent individuals who are profiting off the communist Chinese, so this is not to be singling out the Bidens. However, the line of legality appears to have been danced over, not only by their family members, but also by those who could potentially use their political positions to shrink the width of that line.

Things could get very messy, very soon.

Had Hillary Clinton been elected president, everything we now know about the partisan corruption of law enforcement and courts would never have been revealed to the American people. With that you can be sure if Joe Biden is elected president, everything we’re now learning about his family’s business dealing will go into that dark place where inconvenient truth is hidden from view.

The opportunistic and timely #MeToo movement was ramped up to new hysterics when President Trump responded to Gillibrand.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who has called on Trump to resign over allegations of sexual misconduct, was the subject of a Trump tweet on Tuesday in which he called her a “lightweight” who “would do anything” for campaign contributions — a comment some have interpreted as sexual.

“Well certainly that was how I and many people read it,” Gillibrand said on NBC’s “Today.” “It was certainly just a sexist smear intended to silence me.“
— The Hill, 12/13/17

It appears mostly liberal Democrats are the ones who interpreted a commonly used phrase as sexist.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Tuesday pushed back on the claims that the language was a sexual reference, telling those who took it as such to that their minds were “in the gutter.”

But this isn’t the first time Senator Gillibrand has exploited the sexual abuse card and then fleeing when details don’t fit her desired political conclusion….

To add to the confusion, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren added to the conversation in a way that was also open to gutter interpretation.

In her attempt to utilize social justice terminology, did Senator Elizabeth Warren imply Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is a slut?

Slut-Shame
When you shame someone for the way they act sexually.

“She’s such a slut. I heard she’s slept with like 43 guys”

“Okay??? We don’t Slut-Shame. Who cares how many people she has slept with
— Urban Dictionary

Politicians can slander anyone they want with impunity under the Constitution. Senator Gillibrand has done so on several occasions, she will persist in doing so in the future and is too high and mighty to admit when she’s wrong.

Is this what the latest iteration of the women’s movement has in store for the United States?

UPDATE

As is usually the case, Democrats blatantly accuse others while knowing what’s been shoved in back of their own closets.

“Congress has a sexual harassment problem — and isn’t taking it seriously,” Gillibrand wrote in Fortune magazine. “If we can’t clean up our own act, how can anyone expect Congress to do the right thing for victims and survivors in the rest of the country? Congress has to do better. I believe that elected officials should be held to the highest ethical standard — not the lowest.”

You know what’s coming next….

Just a few months later, when a woman in her own office reported that a married male staffer was making repeated, unwanted and increasingly aggressive sexual advances toward her, Gillibrand did not do the right thing and fire him. Politico reported that “less than three weeks after reporting the alleged harassment and subsequently claiming that the man retaliated against her for doing so, the woman told chief of staff Jess Fassler that she was resigning because of the office’s handling of the matter.”

Gillibrand’s office defended her inaction, saying in a statement that the senator’s office had conducted a “full and thorough investigation” that included “multiple interviews with relevant current employees who could potentially corroborate the claims” but did not find cause to fire the male staffer.

And the timing couldn’t be worse.

New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand officially entered the ever-growing pool of Democratic presidential hopefuls Sunday, ending the two-month-long exploratory phase of her campaign saying she’s running for the White House to make “big, bold, brave choices.”
— NBC News, 3/17/19

Like a small matter of sexual harassment would stop her.
