“Zinke fingered in Bears Ears” sounds like the worst porn title ever.
It’s nice to see more focus falling on Trump’s shady shit that has been happening since 2016. It’ll be even nicer if there are results.

It looks like history is getting caught up here and we are finally catching people while the president sitting and responsible for this bullshit is still in office for the first time.
Zinke is shady as hell, and this is pretty much what I figured he was doing. Give him a fair trial- then get him to jail on evidence, post haste.
If we don’t start sending a message directly to the people who are currently running things while they are doing it this stuff will never stop happening because no one will ever get held accountable.
We need to hold people accountable not in twenty years but right now right as they do this stuff. I doubt that will stop it entirely but it’s a damn good deterrent.

They sent an invitation to Ryan Zinke, who led the Department of the Interior under Trump at that time and was forced to resign in disgrace over other corruption charges.
Never send an invitation to do a subpoena’s job.
I don’t know, maybe the committee doesn’t have subpoena power; but it damned well should, and it should use that power.

Read headline. Yuck, gross. Don’t think I can get past that. Visuals are just… oh, hell, no.

I came in this joint for a little “but, but, her emails!” and was almost satisfied, so I’ll just have to provide a little extra service myself!

The Trump Crime Family must be indicted, each and every member.
so like i know right?
I don’t know if it’s corruption so much as cooptation.
To Zinke, an Interior Secretary’s job is to help private companies exploit government land. If a company wants to drill, his job is to facilitate them. As long as Zinke doesn’t do a quid pro quo (which, thanks to a recent SCOTUS decision is much harder to prove), he’s fine. Even if he takes a mining CEO job the day after leaving office, he’s fine. :gag:
