Million-dollar “filing errors”, for years.
Okay, Senator, thanks for clearing that up for us. We can all sleep more soundly now knowing the Banking Committee is in such good hands.

Banking committee and $2 Million in hedge fund profits.
Curious to see what Corker’s Banking Committee voting record looks like. What is he hiding?

easy mistake. zeroes seem to run together. drop 1 or 2 and you have an accounting mishap. it’s sorta like the gop giveaway to the 1%. the return of $xxxxxxxxxxxx will pay off the deficit and make everything peachy. oops…guess it was only $xxxxxxx. zero-mantics.

Doesn’t he have to sign them himself under the penalties and pains of perjury? If he is signing them personally, then this nonsense about someone else having fucked up is ridiculous. There’s absolutely no way someone could fail to notice the absence of several million dollars in income from a financial statement. NONE. He knew very well he made bank…and is owned by them.

He’s a fucking tax thief. Didn’t report it? – Then didn’t pay taxes on it. Go after his ass.

And yet another Republican wunderkind utters that all to familiar phrase … “oops”

Did he really think he wouldn’t get caught?

GOP Sen. Bob Corker Failed To Disclose Millions In Assets And Income

SOP it is Tennessee nothing that is not expected from elected officials. Lie, cheat, steal seems to be in elected officials DNA.

Typical lying weasel response: “Why, I am Shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU to discover Profits my accountant did not tell me about (sir, here are your tax returns to sign. Thank you Marcell.)”
It must be SO HARD to be a Senator when there is JUST TOO MUCH MONEY TO COUNT in your accounts.

Even Steve King and the religious right in congress won’t renounce fraud, corruption, and guns.

No wonder right wing Republicans like Bob Corker are fraud whores!
