    Cori Bush's Husband Indicted for Wire Fraud, Allegedly Submitted False Applications To Obtain COVID Relief Funds

    Bush paid her husband, Cortney Merritts, more than $150,000 in campaign funds to work as her 'bodyguard'

    Former left-wing congresswoman Cori Bush’s husband was charged on Thursday with defrauding the federal government to illegally collect tens of thousands of dollars in loans under COVID-era small business relief programs.

    Cortney Merritts, who secretly married Bush in 2023, falsified details about his purported businesses in order to obtain more than $20,000 in loans from the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021 under the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program, the Department of Justice said in a statement.

    He is probably going to make an everybody-was-doing-it defence, and they were.

    A side note:
    One of the "fired" heads of the FTC* said that Trump is angling to get pardon powers for corporate cases. Covid fraud is a goldmine for his fascist takeover.

    *Trump lacks that power.

  5. That is not a valid legal defense in the United States. If that is all he has, he will be found guilty.

    Yes Echopulse, that's implied. FYI, when somebody way smarter* than you are, who very very rarely makes a mistake, says something that does not seem quite right, it's just over your head.


    * and still not really that smart.
     
  7. Nope. You were wrong and that is your excuse.

    You are incredibly insecure.

    I would be willing to bet that you are extremely unattractive. No one is that insecure unless they are ugly.

    Sure I am. Snipers are known for insecurity.

    Now its Friday and I need to get drunk in the sauna.
     
  9. Sounds good. Have a good one.

    It's good to see this indictment. Former Representative Cori Bush -- of "The Squad" -- was one of the most corrupt members of Congress.

    This being said -- many more indictments are needed. There are plenty of corrupt members of Congress on both sides of the aisle.

    Additionally -- there needs to rules passed to firmly not allow members of Congress (and their family members) to trade stocks while in office.
