If we survive this administration we're going to be absolutely appalled at the levels of corruption and greed that will be found to have happened during these four years. I think whatever we're expecting is going to be an order of magnitude, at least, less than reality.

After the party, her chief of staff, Jihun Han, sent a memo to the entire department threatening "serious legal consequences" against any staffers who spoke with the press.

If the President of the United States were not himself a criminal, this woman would be long gone.

This entire administration is the SWAMP.

#3 Don't forget boytoy Lewandowski's sisters husband got a $143,000,000 contract from DHS in a company he formed two weeks before the contract was awarded.

An entire administration of grifters.
