Kyrsten Sinema Sees Opportunity Under Trump

Kyrsten Sinema Sees Opportunity Under Trump

Wall Street Journal: “Her salaries haven’t been disclosed but people aware of her projects estimate she is set to make well over a million dollars this year… It isn’t abnormal for former lawmakers to pad their pockets after leaving Congress. But Sinema’s sheer number of projects is unusual — and so are her relationships with the party she never joined….”

“Since leaving office, the 49-year-old has pitched herself as a Republican whisperer, meeting with White House officials and helping clients navigate the Capitol.”

“After leaving office, Sinema donated $3 million from her campaign to fund a new AI center at Arizona State University but has been continuing to tap the remaining cash for flights, luxury hotels and music festival tickets. Government watchdogs have questioned her spending and said it could violate campaign finance law.”

"Could violate campaign finance law" - how quaint. I'm sure they'll get right on that after the golden trophies and 747

But she was getting her cash from people other than Trump?

Now she will be on his payroll.

And never showed up to work.
Was always on pleasure trips instead of Washington DC.

She also lied about her parents and childhood.
Painted a dismal picture of her childhood her parents said was not true
and they took her to court with proof.

Nothing but a lobbyist whoemanger now. Sad end of a person that once many felt had ideals. Power can corrupt and she is clearly one that went down the toilet.
