'Squad' member Cori Bush, a 'defund the police' advocate, recently spent $70,000 on private security

Missouri Rep. Cori Bush spent nearly $70,000 on private security over the past three months as she advocated for defunding the police, campaign filings show.

Bush's campaign sent $54,120.92 in payments between April 15 and June 28 for "security services" to RS&T Security Consulting, a New York-based firm with a mysterious online presence, Federal Election Commission records released Thursday show. The Democrat's campaign also paid $15,000 to Nathaniel Davis for "security services" over the same time period.

The $69,120 in security payments accounted for more than a third of Bush's $197,000 in campaign expenditures during the second quarter, the FEC records show. It's also nearly double what her campaign spent on private security during the first quarter of 2021.

RS&T's website is no longer active, but a cached version of its now-defunct website shows that the group provides "executive protection agents" that provide "first class executive protection and security for national and international figures."

And here’s the money quote:

Meanwhile, Davis' reported address in the filings is the same as Bush's campaign headquarters.


This might be a fruitful area to review — John Durham’s certainly available — but that won’t happen, any more than we’ll see an investigation into Maxine Waters’ funneling $1 million + to her daughter, or OAC paying her boyfriend a million, or Ilhan Omar, that piker, paying her lover a measly $550,000.
