The Loeffler's gave $1M to Trump super PAC at then end of last month right after stock exposure

Soon after the senator's stock trades came under fire last month , her husband made a $1M donation to a pro-Trump super PAC.









Now question is did Trump demand donation for protection?

How can this not look dodgy or look like they are paying off something. Its basically pro quid pro again.

Gangster mafia rules, Pay up for protection.

... and then get paid out of the PAC's campaign funds but we will not be able to see anything
about "it" because of Citizen's United.

The level of corruption in America, the GOP, and the DoJ now is staggering. Hell, the SCOTUS just blocked
the Congressional Intel Committee from seeing the grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation.

BTW Sen. Loeffler did her insider trading RIGHT AFTER she and other Republican Senators were briefed
on the upcoming C-19 pandemic by Bill Barr.

...it granted an injunction from the immediate execution of the decision by the lower court.

The justices now have to determine "if" they want to sell their soul, and if so...FOR HOW MUCH!

... lifetime appointments was that then the justices could hear and weigh the cases in front of them
based on the law and the Constitution and not be subject to outside pressures. How quaint.

McConnell and the GOP know that by the demographics and societal wants they are doomed. So
by packing and controlling the courts they will continue to have power and that along with dirty
elections, gerrymandering, and massive right wing propaganda operations they will keep being
players.

Barr along with the Republicans on the court will continue to slow walk release of the information
in the Mueller report until well after the election if at all.

Those at the top operate with complete impunity. The rule of law does not apply to the wealthy and powerful in America. It's a cesspool of corruption and self-dealing. Who will scrape these bloodsucking leeches off the American body politic before they drain the country completely dry?
