Biden Boosts Electric Bus Company Tied to Dem Megadonors and Biden Officials

Joe Biden seems to be enriching his friends and donors right under the American peoples’ noses.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

Energy secretary Jennifer Granholm is not the only prominent Democrat with financial ties to an electric bus company repeatedly boosted by the Biden administration, documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show.

Nicholas and Joby Pritzker—members of Illinois Democratic governor J.B. Pritzker’s megadonor family—own nearly 12 million shares of ArcLight through their venture capital fund, Tao Capital. ArcLight in January announced a $1.6 billion merger with Proterra, which will see the electric vehicle manufacturer go public in 2021. Granholm served on Proterra’s board for nearly four years and still holds up to $5 million in company stock.

National Economic Council director Brian Deese is also tied to Proterra through BlackRock, the investment giant where he worked as global head of sustainable investing before joining the Biden administration. BlackRock is one of several investment firms that pumped a combined $415 million into the Proterra merger, and Deese reported holding more than $2.4 million in BlackRock vested restricted stock in his February financial disclosure. These investors are posed for steep gains, as ArcLight’s stock price has surged 50 percent—from $11.90 to $18 per share—since January.

The revelations come as congressional Republicans demand investigations into potential conflicts of interest between the Biden administration and Proterra, which could receive billions in taxpayer funds through a proposed infrastructure package. Rep. Ralph Norman (R., S.C.), who serves as ranking member on the environment subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, told the Free Beacon that “the American people deserve to understand the full extent of Secretary Granholm’s involvement with Proterra.”

It is unclear if any ethics violations have occurred, so far.

All elected officials need to be prohibited from investing in the any and all companies that have received direct support from legislative action. They should immediately divest themselves of any stock or ownership that they already possess. Any blind trust that an elected official has must divest also.

The six counties around DC are the richest in America—the people in this country are been used as fools—they do not manufacture anything except investigations and lying to American people, lobbying by big corp. to get what they want. I WOULD SAY 90 % OF LAW MAKERSARE ON THE TAKE. Start saying impeach Biden like they did Trump. Biden is in bed with China

Actually, this is NOT something that Americans were not aware of. Joe Biden is as corrupt as he ever was – and that’s saying a lot! In addition, he represents the most corrupt and evil political party in American history – the modern Democrat Party. Joe Biden AND the Democrat Party are simply “no damn good”. Americans, wake up! Your country is being stolen from you – just like the last presidential election was stolen – and socialism is being put in place of a free capitalist economy. This will result in the slow destruction of the United States, just as socialism has destroyed every other country it has ever been tried in. Americans, DO SOMETHING!!!

Except it won’t be the slow destruction – they are fast tracking it! Remember Venezuela? That is coming to us. They want to destroy this country. They are flooding the US with anti-American invaders, they WANT the violence on the streets, and are trying to collapse the economy. Then stupid people will beg for the government to “help” out – and that will be the end. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Hysterical. That Republicans pretend to care one wit about conflict of interest after the past four years with an actual criminal buffoon and the corrupt cronies he populated every cabinet office with is stunningly brain dead. Moscow Mitch was at least honest when saying his only agenda is blocking everything Biden’s admin wants to do for the American public. This writer is just pretending to care about ethics.
