When gun-toting Lauren Boebert was running for Congress last year, she traced all her income to “Shooters Grill,” a restaurant she and her husband own in Rifle, Colo., failing to mention (as required by law) that her husband made nearly $1 million over the past two years from “energy consulting” for a company named Terra Energy Productions. Shortly after arriving in Congress, Boebert promptly introduced a bill that would bar the president from issuing moratoriums on oil and gas leasing and permitting on some federal land. Boebert claims the failure to report the “consulting” income was simply an “oversight.”
Speaking of oversight, it sure seems like there’s more “oversight” for prospective Uber drivers, than someone running for Congress these days. I mean, it’s one thing to forget to report a sum like a few hundred bucks or so, but to completely “forget" about a million dollars you pocketed in just two years? Why, that’s a helluva lotta “forgetting,” if you ask me!
Now, I’m certainly in no position to offer anyone legal advice, but I wonder if “breathtaking stupidity” can be considered a valid, legal defense? The thing is, you can’t really say Boebert’s stupid. After all, let’s not forget, she did finally pass her GED. In fact, word on the street has it, that she’s every bit as smart, if not smarter - than her close pal Marjorie Taylor Greene.
That said, I’ve gotta admit these Terra Energy Productions folks, are pretty darn smart too. Why, they know it would be way too obvious to just deposit money directly into a politician like Lauren Boebert’s bank account, so they hire her spouse as a half million-dollar-a-year “consultant.”
Of course, the only “consulting” he ever did, was consulting with her about what legislation Terra Energy Productions expected out of her, as well as how they’re both gonna go about spending all that cash - without getting caught. Say what you want, but it sure sounds like a helluva gig, assuming you can get it.
