(17,282 posts)Seems to me about 99 percent of politicians-public figures who are pedophiles or caught in hypocritical/repressed sex scandals are repugs. All these politicians, GOP staffers, GOP evangelists....

Tom Barrack, a Lebanese American who's close relationship with Trump dates back to the 1980s, has had long-standing business ties to both Arab kingdoms and used his influence with then-candidate Trump to pull back part of a Republican platform that would have blasted the Saudis over a report on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The report, based on emails sent between Barrack and an UAE ambassador from an anonymous group against the Emiratis' foreign policy, also detailed how Barrack set up an initial meeting between Trump's son-in-law turned White House senior adviser, Jared Kushner, and the same ambassador during the 2016 campaign.
Barrack, 70, served as a major fundraiser for Trump's campaign and later served as chairman for the president's inauguration.
Barrack was also the one who recommended embattled former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort to Trump. Manafort is facing federal indictments handed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation on charges of money laundering, failing to file as the agent of a foreign nation and conspiracy.

(8,695 posts)Is deplorable den of cutthroats and sell-swords and thieves.
Its is almost shocking the level of blatant crimes and ethical problems that fester and spread throughout this administration.
There is no political fiction that could do it justice. No one would find it plausible to be worth reading.
