Funny how when “Republicans” who go against Trump have scandals, they are never mentioned by the corrupt Democrat media complex. Take for instance Bob Corker, the loser, outgoing Senator from Tennessee masquerading as a Republican (but is really a Democrat.) Last year Corker was busted for being involved in an insider trading scandal. This happened when Obama was still in office. In addition to inside trading, Corker failed to disclose millions of dollars in income from real estate, hedge funds and other investments since becoming a member of Congress in 2007.

ICYMI, Corker – a native of Orangeburg, S.C. – was recently busted failing to disclose millions of dollars in income from real estate, hedge funds and other investments since becoming a member of Congress in 2007.
Now comes word that CBL & Associates Properties Inc. – firm with close ties to Corker – is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for alleged accounting and financial irregularities.
It gets better, though (or worse, if you’re Corker). That probe is also reportedly focusing on insider trading allegations involving Corker and the millions of dollars he failed to disclose.
According to The Wall Street Journal, investigators with the FBI and SEC have “asked questions about the relationship between the company and Corker, who is close with senior executives at the firm and has made millions of dollars in profits trading the company’s stock in recent years.”
Last November, the Washington, D.C. watchdog group Campaign for Accountability called for an investigation into Corker.
Have you heard anything about this story since last year? Unlikely, since Bob Corker is a hero to the media since he bashes Trump. This is also likely why Corker isn’t running for re-election to the Senate next year. Any opponent, either in the GOP primary or general election could have used this scandal in TV ads to nail Corker. Thankfully, without Corker’s corrupt ass running again, the seat is still going to be a safe Republican seat. Had Corker won the primary, Democrats might have had a chance to use this and knock out Corker.
