“dolphin boat rides, and bulk purchases of pop-up Advent books published by his brother”

So he was a low-rent crook. Not surprising.

“Rothschild passed away before the trial, but Uihlein testified that he intended the lion’s share of his $800,000 to go towards a house for conservative interns and a tabloid to boost Stockman’s chances in an ultimately unsuccessful 2014 congressional bid.”

I’m not sure what was a more shady use of these donations - what Stockman spent them on, or what the donors actually intended.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving asshole. He is the one who brought Nugent to Obama’s SOTU.

This was the guy who made that hilarious joke about liberal tears making the best gun lubricant. You laughing now, you cheap grifter? Because me, I’m smiling like a happy cat. Have a nice day. :joy_cat:

When will Congress and the Supreme Court understand that unlimited money will corrupt congressmen and presidents. These two men giving this man over $1 million is disgusting and should be illegal.

The Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) was able to rent the Dick Uihlein House for Conservative Interns at a competitive price.

WASHINGTON — An obscure White House office responsible for recruiting and screening thousands of political appointees has suffered from inexperience and a shortage of staff, hobbling the Trump administration’s efforts to place qualified people in key posts across government, documents and interviews show.

At the same time, two office leaders have spotty records themselves: a college dropout with arrests for drunken driving and bad checks, and a lance corporal in the Marine Corps reserves with arrests for assault, disorderly conduct, fleeing an officer, and underage drinking.

He just lost his right to buy a firearm. Where he’s going to won’t make much difference.

Well, I guess the money is going to pay for a house for the Congressman and some of his aides, anyway - a big house.

Shyster Stockman will have plenty of time to poop his pants with Ted Nugent from federal prison. With any luck, he’ll live out the rest of his days there. Bad person!

Amateur and as said above Low rent shit
Manafort, with the assistance of Gates, laundered more than $30,000,000, income that he concealed from the United States Department of the Treasury, the Department of Justice, and others. Gates obtained more than $3,000,000 from the offshore accounts, income that he too concealed from the Treasury, the Department of Justice, and others.”
They’ll be in the hundreds by the time Mueller is through as is befitting of an ongoing criminal enterprise

Stockman, who served two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, will remain in federal custody until sentencing in August because he is considered a flight risk.

This was the best part. From the source article,

U.S. Marshals took him into custody shortly after the verdict was read

“Can I go home to kiss my dog or whatever bullshit?” Nope, Steve, your ass is going RIGHT TO JAIL and you will never see your own bedroom again.

I’ll bet you anything that that was the basis upon which Mueller’s team argued that attorney-client privilege didn’t exist, in their warrant request for Cohen.
