@2_joestar@GREHG12@AntiquarianMuse@nicksortor Listen you goy cattle. If Dems came up with programs to increase maternity leave and wages (which they have). You wouldn’t support it. You just want to enforce this narrative that women should be at home with the child without actually wanting to do anything to allow that.
Wow! Raskin just sent Kash Patel this letter. It’s umm… interesting. Read it twice. 👀
The House Judiciary minority says Patel has handed out more than $1 million in “bonus” payments to agents on his Director’s Advisory Team and his security detail. The letter calls it a personal slush fund.
Here’s the mechanism. Federal pay is capped by statute. The letter alleges Patel routed money around that cap. Nearly $8,000 per agent, every two-week pay period. Some collected five in a row. Roughly $40,000 each.
Then the accounts ran dry. Raskin says some of the payments bounced.
Who got paid? The letter points to the unit NOTUS reported as the “Payback Squad.” And it ties the cash to silence, alleging agents were polygraphed over whether they helped cover up Patel’s drinking.
Now the other column. The agents he fired include an FBI Medal of Valor recipient, the official who led the Jan 6 law enforcement response, a Marine combat veteran cut weeks after his wife died of cancer, and a counterintelligence unit that tracked Iranian threats.
Reward the loyal. Purge the rest.
Raskin wants every bonus, every authorization, and every legal memo on whether this broke federal law. Deadline June 29.
@jamesstrather@paleochristcon Ok great. From a business standpoint nobody wants to watch that go on for an hour before you actually get into a substantive conversation.
