| 16. What about the money for the fund for the poor that may have been diverted? |
|
If I charge you ten grand for a pair of my stinky socks, is that payment made for value received? Wouldn't a sensible person think "Hmmmmm, that smells--aside from the stinky feet odor--like MONEY LAUNDERING to me?"
Have you seen the videos? A high school kid could have done better. They're not worth a hundred bucks, never mind over a hundred grand.
She provided "the services," all right. But those videos were a cover for the services she was providing.
If the government doesn't investigate this, then you can't say shit when a Republican administration fails to investigate malfeasance in their party. You can't even gripe about it. You will just have to sigh, sit back, and say "Oh well, they all do it."
I think we should hold all politicians, no matter what party, to a higher standard. If they cheat or game the system, let it rip.
