51. Corruption runs deep in the bush family, all the way to Agnew days and before
Sun Nov 3, 2024, 03:38 AM
Nov 2024

The old man was a partisan hack and a liar.

Only long after he lied about not being in the CIA in his director hearings did we find out that we was a major CIA operative in the bay if pigs fiasco.

The old man tried to extort prosecutors to protect Agnew (listen to Bagman later episodes).

The old man covered up the money to uran that got him and Raygun elected and the hostages held for several extra months.

WMD...etc...there is likely plenty of kompromat as well from shrubbery cocaine days.

They are all lying, corrupt pieces of crap..every one of the oil tycoon bush family
