1. Golly, I wonder how many of the owners of these companies are MAGAts who've pledged to contribute

some significant % of their contracts Republican politicians coffers once they start getting paid, IQ47's in particular? And how many of them have direct ties to Trumps family and inner circle? Hell if they were all 13 shell companies owned by Eric and Jared, would anyone here be the least surprised?

The reason I say they'll be contributing in the future as opposed to the past is the SCOTUS Shady Six have declared it's only ever illegal to take bribes if you get them BEFORE providing the corrupt act. If person doing the bribing pays the corrupt politician AFTER s/he does them the favor (i.e. hands them undeserved contracts worth 10's of millions), then it's never bribery and always perfectly legal.
