    Who knows? There’s no citation as far as I can tell.

    Its not like we don’t have Bob Menendez pending trial for smuggling gold bars down his pant legs or Henry Cueller queued up for $600k in bribery charges (both of which are apparently fine, according to the GOP aligned SCOTUS…)

    But you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel when your case for a 2024 candidate slate requires you to call back to the Keating Five and Abscam.

      I need no convincing. There is a Wikipedia page on this topic and its mostly Republicans listed there but plenty of Democrats as well so the meme really makes no sense to me. AI generated perhaps.
