A Florida-based company is charging military veterans as much as $20,000 for help with disability claims, even though the VA has said that may be illegal and the service should be free. But so far nobody's stopping the company and others like it.
This company charges disabled vets millions, even after VA said it's likely illegal

What load of crap JD is spreading. Investment companies bought up millions of housing units after the 2008 junk mortgage crash & rent them for usurious rents.

Mob boss Trump is not exempt from the rules.
The Senate confirmation process exists to protect us from exactly this kind of corrupt and politicized appointment.
Our state deserves a U.S. Attorney that works for the safety of our citizens, not the President’s interests.
