Anyone surprised?
I’m not.



“Forty lobbyists with ties to President Donald Trump helped clients secure more than $10 billion in federal coronavirus aid, among them five former administration officials whose work potentially violates Trump’s own ethics policy, according to a report.

The lobbyists identified Monday by the watchdog group Public Citizen either worked in the Trump executive branch, served on his campaign, were part of the committee that raised money for inaugural festivities or were part of his presidential transition. Many are donors to Trump’s campaigns, and some are prolific fundraisers for his reelection.”

They will never catch up to the green energy boondoggles that Obama's friends got.

Stupid and dishonest article that means absolutely nothing without proper context. Are there any lobbyists WITHOUT "ties to President Donald Trump"? How many compared to those WITH ties? What did their clients get? This is 100% fake news if it does not include the answers to all such questions.

Stupid, stupid, stupid,

Lots of reports this AM.

I find this particularly egregious.
They don’t pay taxes and yet...

“ A Dallas megachurch whose pastor has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump was approved for a forgivable loan worth $2 million to $5 million, according to long-awaited government data released on Monday.
...

It was among the tens of thousands of religious organizations that received a total of $7.3 billion in pandemic aid from the Small Business Administration.“

Most people who get help for a lobbyist does not know EVERY thing a lobbyist is involved in.
