MO Representative Under Criminal Investigation by DoJ Over Misspending Federal Funds

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Justice department investigating progressive Democrat Cori Bush - report
Punchbowl News reports that the justice department has opened a criminal investigation into progressive House Democrat Cori Bush for misspending federal money intended for her security:


The report comes after the House clerk yesterday announced that the sergeant at arms, the chamber’s top law enforcement official, had received a grand jury subpoena for an undisclosed matter.

A member of “The Squad” of progressive female lawmakers, Bush is the first Black woman to represent a Missouri district in Congress.

That's ONE.

Five hundred more to go.

"misspending federal money"

True but most of the time it doesn't warrant the Feds' stepping in (remember New Orleans-area Rep. Wm. Jefferson and his freezer full of cash?).
This was different; the fact that a Democratic-led DoJ is going after a fellow Democrat (like they are w/regards to NJ Sen. Menendez) is a shock.

Tax dollars never get spent the way they need to be. Instead it's spent on crap.
