Missed this superseding indictment on Broidy and Jho Low yesterday.

Funny how no one in the Republican Party mentions that their former Finance Chair ran a massive, illegal lobbying scheme for China.

To kill a transnational organized crime investigation.

1. As soon as cries of 'Jyna, Jyna, Jyna' started up

I knew it was projection on an OmniMax scale.

2. Like clockwork

3. I remember that guy-- He had a lot of salacious stuff going on-

for a boring finance guy- From wikipedia
On April 13, 2018, The Wall Street Journal reported that Broidy had a sexual relationship with Playboy Playmate Shera Bechard, resulting in a pregnancy in late 2017. The model later had an abortion. Donald Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen negotiated for Broidy to pay $1.6 million for the woman's silence.

I remember some suggested this was actually Trump's affair, but others pointed ou that by that time, Trump was obviously unable to perform.

These GOPers are all so sleazy, even the boring ones. And crooked.

4. Oh, my...

"The model later had an abortion."

IOKIYAWMR made large.

I await the picketing... Yeah, right.

GOP Fundraiser Elliott Broidy Accused of Coercing Woman Into Having Abortion

Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy lost his fight to prevent the public from learning about allegations in a lawsuit by former Playboy model Shera Bechard that he coerced her into having an abortion after getting her pregnant.

Broidy is accused by Bechard in the lawsuit of breaching an agreement to pay her $1.6 million to keep quiet about their affair. The hush payment deal was negotiated on Broidy’s behalf by Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer and fixer who pleaded guilty last month to campaign finance violations related to payments to Stephanie Clifford, the adult movie star known as Stormy Daniels.

6. Trump pardoned this POS. nt

[Dopers_Greed]

7. Ironic, since the GOP accused Biden of being a shill for Chy-na

[soothsayer]

8. Ironic or predictable?

Both really

9. +1

10. Elliott Broidy pled guilty.

And got a full pardon from Trump

[NJCher]

12. yes, broidy got a pardon, but

it's my understanding there is a Congressional committee looking at restrictions that will be put on these types of things, all of course pioneered by trump, who does the unimaginable. This will most likely be one of the changes/adjustments they will attempt to make.

[AverageOldGuy]

13. As I recall . . .

Broidy paid for an abortion for a Playboy Playmate then gave her some hush money. However, rumors are that it was Trump who knocked up the Playmate and Trump paid Broidy to take the fall for him.

14. More damning evidence the GOP has been conducting itself like a crime syndicate

RICO anyone?

[Kid Berwyn]

15. Foreign lobbyist means foreign money for GOP.

Same old story.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. I fear Club Fed is going to be overcrowded and a lot of these gentlemen are going to be doing real..

...time in a real prison. I hope that isn't uncomfortable for them. I hope it's damned uncomfortable!
