A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say.
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
Now that this has come to light, surely the law will be followed and the will be consequences!
The issue is that many american prosecutors are absolute cowards.
In other countries, some prosecutors actually do their job. The headquarters of the ruling Spanish Political party was just raided by prosecutors and the police.
Because win rates matter. If a prosecutor loses a bunch of cases everyone will assume they are wasting money and demand a new one. And/Or they are politizing the law to fulfill the agenda of another party or personal vendetta.
Fortunately, the Department of Justice is independent of the President, and from his first term there was no indication that Trump would seek to change that.
Say a few magic words like "Daddy is coming." And "That'll trigger the libs". Wear a MAGA hat. Go on social media to create pure outrage porn like, "Look at how we used to live before OBAMA."
Then sell expired aspirin for 10x the price and buy a farm.
80K? That's, what, a party favor's worth of bribes? Most members of this administration wouldn't even get out of bed for such a paltry sum.
The fact that all of our freedoms and rights were for sale is bad enough, but if you see the absolute bottom prices that were paid, it's a hundred times worse still.
Didn't we recently find out from some leaks or disclosures that you can essentially buy some politicians for as low as $10K? I can't remember the source right now
How soon could one expect the g3stapo to storm one's front door if one posted her home address for all her "constituents" to see?
But I mean, it is publicly available info, quite easy to find if you look in the right places... Plus she probably already has full-time staff sorting through all those shipments of syringes packed with puppy poop she must get... Probably.
