Liz Cheney Leaves Congress Millions of Dollars Richer Than When She Entered

Well I'll be damned....

"Cheney’s wealth is also enhanced by her husband, Philip Perry, who is a partner at Latham & Watkins law firm in Washington, DC, which advises Chinese companies. Cheney has maintained “equity ownership” in the firm worth between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 since 2017. "

"Perry’s firm has advised a Chinese Communist Party-linked technology company named TME and Exelon Corporation. The State Department in 2019 dubbed TME a tool of the Chinese government. According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2011, Exelon Corporation agreed to provide consulting and training services to an arm of the state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The state-owned CNNC’s president and vice president are appointed by the highest administrative position in the Government of China, the Premier of the People’s Republic of China. The CNNC supervises all facets of China’s nuclear programs.

While Perry’s law firm has serviced Chinese clients, Cheney sat on the Armed Services Committee with many powerful subcommittees dedicated to national security. Cheney worked with House Republicans on producing a 2020 report on Communist China entitled the “China Task Force Report.” The report states, “[T]he greatest generational challenge we face today is the threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).”

Buttigieg Gives the Most Ridiculous Excuse Ever for Using Private Jets

“Well, when we’re making a decision about what kind of aircraft to use, we weigh a lot of things. That’s one of the things we consider. So is saving taxpayers money. Now, I fly the majority of the time in economy class on an airliner, just like everybody else,” Buttigieg claimed. “But there are cases where we use an FAA jet, a jet that’s assigned to my department. I’ll give you an example. I went to Wisconsin recently. This was last year, I think. […] We saved taxpayers $2,000 by using the FAA jet instead of buying those airline tickets.”

After Baier pointed out several other private jet flights Buttigieg has taken, the secretary claimed, “taxpayers are usually saving money when we do that.”

The FAA reportedly charges federal agencies $5,000 per hour for the use of a private jet. According to a recent analysis of his flight records by the New York Post, Buttigieg has used private jets 18 times since taking office. His predecessor, Elaine Chao, was criticized for using private jets seven times in 2017.


Math is hard.

Ho-hum. Rightists and leftists both pull this type of bullsheep on we little people. Making themselves richer at our expense vai voting more perks for themselves, exclusive understandings with their lobbyist masters.
--Psalm 14:3
-- Romans 3:12

Sadly, both are loaded with ideology infected advocates (voters) too dense to see or accept that both groups are just as corrupt as the other.

All the while convincing folks there is no common ground on any issues. Keep everyone at each other's throats over stupid crap while they get rich.

Purveyors of hate.

Lol. The GOP controlled congress wants to abolish the ethics committee that provides congressional oversight. Don’t remember Dems trying to get rid of oversight.
