Reading Ken Klippensteins piece on Elliott Broidy is quite an experience. The criminal and unethical and, frankly, frightening behavior pours forth from the page at a relentless clip. While youre looking at the article, please remember that until very recently, Elliott Broidy was a deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
He got that job because he was effective in raising money for Donald Trumps campaign at a time when most bigwig Republican bundlers were keeping Trump at arms length. But this is a guy who was convicted in 2009 for bribing a New York government official in a case involving state pension funds. That was an indication that he wasnt the kind of person you should employ or entrust with positions of responsibility.
The Klippenstein piece focuses on how Broidys company, Virginia-based Circinus LLC, has people armed with AR-15s running around in Florida serving as private security forces without any permits. But that barely scratches the surface of what should concern us. Heres one example:

You can choose what to be most worried about, whether its private armies operating domestically without permits or corrupting the Justice Department to cover up foreign financial crimes or corrupting politicians and directing the foreign policy legislation they introduce or bribing state officials in New York or selling access to the president and vice-president or having connections to a creep like George Nader and his nefarious wheelings and dealings, or potentially faking his paternity of a child in order to cover for the presidents infidelity and involvement in an abortion.
Again, until a few moments ago, this guy was a deputy finance chairman for the Republican National Committee. The same is true of Michael Cohen.
The swamp has never been more expansive or rancid.

(16,254 posts)I have been curious why few comments were made about Broidy's payoff to the Playboy model. No divorce in the works? To quote Trump from another vein..."Do you really think I'd go after her? I mean, look at her." Wasn't that what he said about the gal he abused on a flight? Anyway, "Do you really believe I'd end up pregnant by him (Broidy)?" Oh, boy. That's pushing the envelope.
To think he was covering for Trump makes sense. I could swallow that one.
We have to realize this is SO MUCH BIGGER than will eventually be exposed that many are going to get away with their crimes. (I almost said "murder" but then, the investigation isn't over.)
I believe the swamp is turning into quick sand...maybe that's not a bad thing.
