NEW: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes.

Get the money out of politics. Enforce existing laws. The idea that these longtime politicians are in it for “the people” is absolutely true. When you understand that they alone are said “people.” Not the rest of us.

In a 6/26 speech aimed at Susan Collins, Patty Murray actually said: "Every single Republican in the Senate helped enable this new and horrifying reality. You don't get to act surprised Trump is empowering Republicans to put politics over health when you voted to confirm RFK Jr."

For too long politicians have acted like we work for them, that it’s their job and they’re gonna do what’s best for themselves regardless of what we think. It’s time that the voters take back the seats and make it very clear to them, you work for us. Start doing what we want or face consequences.

Lord Feltersnatch has the goods on every corrupt politician, wheeler and dealer. In 2017, republicans were given their lockstep orders. Comply or Die at the polls. They chose to comply. It will be interesting to see how many of the 217+ R enablers will have a seat at the regimes table if USA falls.

so we know now why she has destroyed both of her knees bending to trump; susan collins is a criminal who doesn’t want to go to prison.

In our current Age of Corruption, this one did leaves me seething with my gut clenched at the idea of the money I worked so hard to earn going to ‘do nothing’ projects so: a) a Senator can have a lavish lifestyle and keep power b) a useless company can make its owners rich

Not to mention that Republicans are giving away or selling public lands to tech bros to erect data centers. This is even more appalling when surrounding communities are subsidizing their operation costs with higher utility bills.

U.S. politicians are so far beyond corruption. They are a fascist regimen of puppets serving the economic interests of the rich and well-to-do who don’t give a damn about the lower classes beyond their economic worth.

The penalties for political corruption are obviously not a significant deterrent. The penalties must be more severe so that self-serving pols will think twice. Furthermore, there has to be a system that does not allow corrupt leaders like trump to shut down investigations. We need a fail safe that

should be day 2 stories if Maine/national media pick up on fact Collins' lobbyist husband, Tom Daffron, worked closely - for years - with Scott Reed, a key player in the corruption scandal @andrewperez.bsky.social & @martinpengelly.bsky.social wrote about that in June zeteo.com/p/susan-coll...

The dumOld t.Rump crime syndicate needs to see jail, I support sending all of them to Alligator Alcatraz, what's good for the immigrants is good for the Goose Steppers.

25 years ago, as a PI I felt privileged to work with the FBI to investigate fraud. They were great people with the upmost respect for the constitution and only wanted to serve in their best capacity and interest in this nation to serve us, the people. FBI has been degraded beyond comprehension.

She can retire to jail for her crimes… I’m beginning to thing all of our “lawmakers” are corrupt, on the take & as crooked as a dog’s hind leg!! Vote ur feelings. Get these greedy thieves OUT!! 🗽🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸🗽

Round and round corruption goes, and corruption grows. Then corruption is hidden as the Institutions that worked in the past to stop corruption are “disappeared.” New people who like the corruption are seated and cooperate with it by ignoring it.

Citizens United did what it was supposed to do, snatched back the government FDR gave to the people. Why a desperate Democrat wouldn't cut illegal deals for campaign cash to compete with Republicans' bottomless Musk and Saudi coffers makes it understandable, though no less unacceptable.

It might explain why some Democrats joined right up into the bipartisan farce of early Trump 2.0.

Republicans are corrupt, every last one of them. Make sure you vote blue down ballot, do not vote for any them. Every last one of them them are traitors.

Republicans have been corrupting the political system for years. From gerrymandering, Citizens United and lobbyists. Take the money away and ethics and morality have a chance. When corruption and lies are eliminated everyone has a voice and that voice will count. Unfortunately DOJ,SEC,FBI are gone.

This should be the biggest story in America, if not the world. I think this is painting the picture of how Trump is able to get so many Republicans to vote his way. He may be holding the keys to jail some of them.
