[kess]

Wonder if the EU has any dirt on that Trump-LePen meeting before the French elections

 

[Shard]

Now if only the U.S. would charge the criminals in the White House.

That will probably start with some of those outside like Flynn.

 

[TheCochese]

In some alternate timeline, Le Pen is French President, and the Clinton Administration is arresting the Trump campaign.

 

[Nrocinu777]

LOL. Get fucked you evil person.

 

[Lo-Volt]

[eizarus]

Apparently I've missed something, what funding scandal?

 

[Formless]

Apparently I've missed something, what funding scandal?

Accepting foreign money iirc

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Seems like there's a trend of certain people talking so much trash that they end up crusbed and suffocating under a pile of their own bullshit.

 

[ShironRedshift]

If I remember right, her accepting money from Russia for her campaign, in violation of foreign-financing laws.

 

[A Serious Man]

Get'em.

 

[demosthenes]

Good friday.

 

[Mahonay]

Get fucked Le Pen.

 

[DonShula]

Excellent.

 

[Sean C]

Lock her up!

 

[chadskin]

No, she misused EU funds:

An investigation by a European parliament watchdog claimed that between 2011 and 2012 Le Pen had illicitly paid party staff for Front National work using money that should only be used for MEPs to pay assistants for legislative tasks.

[_Ryo_]

Good.

 

[Herne]

Sweet.

 

[Funky Papa]

This has nothing to do with Russia. It's about the FN (her party) misusing European funds in its own benefit. Older story.

The president of the European parliament, Martin Schulz, this week alerted Olaf, the EU’s anti-corruption agency, after reportedly finding that 20 people who were being paid from the EU budget as parliamentary assistants to FN MEPs appeared in documents as officials of the party’s national organisation structure in France.

The anti-fraud body must now decide if it will open an investigation to determine whether FN party workers took staff salaries from the EU while doing separate work for the national party in France.

Hope it ruins her

 

[Autodidact]

Marine pour la prison!

 

[Mael]

She will lose her new found immunity if there's any justice there.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Funny how the anti EU crowd is always happy to get as much money out of it as possible for themselves. Projecting a bit when they complaint about the "corrupt" EU politicians?

 

[BotoxAgent]

[Volimar]

[DarthMasta]

Yeah, sure the people who dislike the EU are going to interpret this in no way whatsoever as the EU persecuting her.

Still, the law is the law...

 

[Generalpsyduck]

So is this a go to prison type charge?

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

This cunt better to go to prison.

 

[Username1198]

Christ is karma real?

 

[Widdle Puppy]

The entire far right is a criminal enterprise of racist power hungry oligarchs. The people will have their revenge on them.

 

[Bedameister]

So is this a go to prison type charge?

Nah I don't think so. Probably just a fine

 

[Escape Goat]

They can be prison pen pals.

 

[Morrigan Stark]
