CONFIRMED: House Democrat Being Criminally Investigated Is 'Squad' Member Cori Bush

As RedState reported on Monday, a House Democrat is currently under criminal investigation for the misuse of government funds under the guise of paying for "security" services. Heavy speculation revolved around that Democrat being Rep. Cori Bush, and that has now been confirmed. 

READ: DOJ Investigating House Democrat for Misuse of Government Funds

According to Punchbowl News, which broke the original story, the DOJ has subpoenaed the House Sergeant at Arms, who has records of how the money was allocated.

Bush's troubles involving payments for "security services" are well known, with allegations that she paid her now-husband $60,000 in early 2023. That dynamic raised eyebrows because the man in question was not even licensed to provide security services in Missouri.

That’s a problem because having a security license is required in Missouri to offer security services, and you would assume Merritts would have provided his “services” in Bush’s district (especially given their personal relationship). Further, as the report notes, Bush’s campaign shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in other payments to real security firms at the same time. That seems like a rather odd dynamic, does it not?

Further, Bush paid out around $500,000 for other "security services" during the same period, an amount that seemed absurdly overblown and unnecessary. Where was all that money ending up? Was some of it being funneled back to Bush?

Mind you, the people who hired this wretched woman, her constituents, are never going to fire her, because they lap this stuff up, seeing it as one of their own putting one over on “the man”, just as Bronx juries in civil suits consider trias to be “Lottery Day”, and award plaintiffs accordingly.
