The US Postal Service plans to sell 56 buildings--so it can lease space more expensively--and the real estate company of the California senator's husband, Richard Blum, is set to pocket about $1 billion in commissions.
Blum's company, CBRE, was selected in March 2011 as the sole real estate agent on sales expected to fetch $19 billion. Most voters didn't notice that Blum is a member of CBREs board and served as chairman from 2001 to 2014.
This feat of federal spousal support was ignored by the media after Feinstein's office said the senator, whose wealth is pegged at $70 million, had nothing to do with the USPS decisions.
When the national debt is $18 trillion, a billion seems like small change.

Bribes are illegal but stock tips are not.
But apparently the D after Joe Morrisseys name washes away sins. Or at least, it buys a heck of a lot of forbearance from certain activist groups. It certainly helps when you need to obscure key details on a scandal for as long as humanly possible. Seriously: the fact that this is first I somebody who actually has been following the story have heard of this demonstrates, point-blank, that the media fell down on the job. Again. And again and again and again and again.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
