Remember GOP Bob Livingston who almost took Bill Clinton down?

He was prevented at the last minute from becoming Speaker of the House by investigative journalist Dan Moldea, hired by Larry Flynt to stop the removal of Clinton by GOP.

Guess what he's up to now?

From Talking Points Memo:

Former Rep. Bob Livingston (R-LA) and other politically connected players are jumping into the COVID-19 supply business — with some help from the National Governors Association.

Livingston’s lobbying firm and another firm started by a top Republican fundraiser are listed on NGA’s “Coronavirus Resources” page — which the governors’ group says is “an online hub for businesses and other organizations with supplies or services to connect with states officials regarding critical needs.”

The Livingston Group, Livingston’s lobbying firm, is described as a source of key medical supplies. So is top Republican fundraiser Mike Gula’s firm Blue Flame.

The Livingston Group’s entry into the COVID-19 medical supply trade has not been previously reported.

On the NGA’s Coronavirus Resources page, the lobbying firm is said to have “access to FDA standard N95 masks and isolation gowns and COVID-19 serological test kits.”

Sociopaths run a criminal organization masquerading as a political party. The most honest person they have is Mitt Romney. What does that tell you?

So much criminal activity, so little time. It is almost as though they KNEW this virus would be here, and jumped on the bandwagon immediately. There are certainly prepared, more than the gop has EVER been to help ordinary people. Just like cockroaches, they slither out as soon as the opportunity arises, looking for their share of whatever is there. It must be in their DNA.

First. The government supply chain is cut and a new private supply chain is opened and business is funneled to them. Like a wartme black market..

Are tbere payoffs or kickbacks to the supply chain cutters?

On a scale we could not ever have imagined, even knowing Trump family background and Kushner's family.
