Dirty DEMOCRATS in the news

HIM: WOW, HILS, THIS WORKS! HER: I GOT $145 MILLION FROM THE RUSSIANS - YOU CAN GET RICH, TOO!​

A major donor to New York City's mayor testified Thursday that he gave money to Bill de Blasio’s campaign fund in exchange for access and favors.

Jona Rechnitz, 34, a felon who pleaded guilty in March to making contributions in exchange for favors from government officials, made the claim when he appeared as a witness in the corruption trial of former city correction-union chief Norman Seabrook.

Rechnitz is accused of bribing Seabrook to invest $20 million in union pension money in a friend’s hedge fund, the New York Post reported.

But the topic quickly moved on to de Blasio, with whom Rechnitz had a history.

“We’re going to become significant contributors, but we want access,” he claimed to have to told de Blasio fund-raiser Ross Offinger.

After committing to about $50,000 to $100,000 in donations, the favors began to come in. He said in court that de Blasio “told me to call if there’s anything I need, always be in touch, and he really appreciated my support and friendship.”

The mayor denied being close to him, saying his relationship with the man was “not a particularly close,” despite Rechnitz's claim that he received de Blasio's personal cell-phone number and e-mail address.

“I e-mailed him on his personal e-mail. We would chat. I’d go to events of his. He invited me to events and put me in very good-seated areas. He took my calls. I mean, we were friends,” he told the court, according to the Post.

He said he was ready to give money to the mayor whenever as long as he received favor from City Hall. “I always gave money, as long as I was seeing him produce results,” he said of Offinger. “Whenever we would call him for access or for a favor, we were getting the response that we expected and the results we were expecting.”

Rechnitz said he once called de Blasio’s fundraiser regarding his friend’s massive water bill and violations he faced for a tenant subletting a residence on Airbnb, the Post reported.

Mayoral spokesman Eric Phillips rejected Rechnitz accusations, telling the Post that “These are nothing but reheated, repackaged accusations that have been extensively reviewed and passed on by authorities at multiple levels.”

“The administration has never and will never make government decisions based on campaign contributions,” he added.

Back in March, de Blasio narrowly avoided federal charges for violating election law in regard to fundraising, despite the authorities’ claims that the campaign has violated “intent and spirit” of the law, the Post reported.

Dirty disingenuous DEMOCRATS have done a 180 on corporate taxes.





The president proposed cutting the corporate tax rate in his budget.

He wrote that cutting the rate to 28 percent was necessary for “putting the United States in line with major competitor countries and encouraging greater investment here at home.”

Which president am I referring to?

Barack Obama.

As a lame duck sending his final budget to Congress for fiscal year 2016, Obama told the truth about how our economy suffers because the U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world.

But now that Trump and the Congress are about to actually cut the rate, DEMOCRATS are suddenly against it.

The highest-ranking DEMOCRAT, Chuck Schumer, said Tuesday that “the cut in the corporate rate would hardly help the everyday American worker.”

That was a whopper of a flip-flop.

Just last year, Schumer said in a committee hearing on cutting corporate taxes: “I’m game to do it because I think it’s really important for American competitiveness.”

He also told CNBC that “it would be a permanent lower rate, not a holiday rate,” meaning not a one-time cut for the so-called repatriation of trillions in U.S. companies’ profits, which are sitting offshore to avoid getting whacked by U.S. taxes.

Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference this month that Republicans are “deceptively, misleadingly saying to the American people” that “cutting the taxes of corporate America is going to produce such growth that it will eliminate that increase in the debt.”

Hold on a second. Pelosi put out a press release in 2016 that called for congressional action, saying, “It is long past time for tax reform that would lower the corporate rate.”

Nothing has changed in the last year, except that Pelosi realized this would now be credited to Trump instead of Hillary.

Where would a good conservative be without a Clinton to hate?

Your problem is that that is all last year, you can't keep reliving last year's campaign and election forever, the reality is that Hillary is gone, history, no longer a factor of any significance anywhere, you got to move on, this obsession is antiquating you
