California Senator Dianne Feinstein who Profited Off of War and Govt Contracts Has Died

Dianne Feinstein, Wiki
California Senator Dianne Feinstein died on Thursday night at age 90 at one of her homes in Washington, DC. Feinstein was a champion of gun control, immigration, amnesty, and other destructive policies. Feinstein was married to Richard Blum, a billionaire, who died in early 2022. Mr. Blum ran his own investment firm, Blum Capital Partners, and at one point he was chairman of the University of California Board of Regents. According to Feinstein’s latest financial disclosure in May, her net worth was $69.4 million. Feinstein attempted to disassociate herself from her partner’s scores of interlocking businesses that benefited from government contracts by claiming that she only has ownership of a small “blind trust.” In fact, Feinstein has always owned one half of Blum’s assets under California community property laws. Blum’s operations were under investigation a number of times. Feinstein intervened many times in Congressional oversight of projects that benefited her family.

Feinstein profited from the war in Iraq through massive government contracts handed to her wealthy husband. Feinstein and Blum committed many other transgressions detailed in an article by Peter Byrne of Pacific Sun (see below).

Excerpt from Information Liberation:

As the SF Gate reported in 2003, “War brings business to Feinstein spouse / Blum’s firms win multimillion-dollar defense contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan”:

When it comes to scoring mega-military-related contracts, Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s multimillionaire husband, Richard Blum, is right in the thick of things.

First up: a contract announced last week between the Army and URS Corp., the San Francisco planning and engineering company that specializes in defense work — and that happens to be partly owned by Blum’s investment firm.

The contract — which could grow to $600 million — is to help with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terrorism methods.

That’s on top of a $3.1 billion Army contract that URS snared back in February for weapons systems and homeland defense.

Next up: Perini Corp., which qualified earlier this month for as much as $100 million of defense work in Iraq and elsewhere. The Massachusetts-based company is already busy building barracks and other facilities for the new Afghan army — a separate contract worth $28 million.

Feinstein purchased a $16.5 million Pacific Heights mansion with her spoils of war in 2006.

In a just country, Feinstein would have been imprisoned for corruption but instead she lived a life of luxury enjoying the finest of American society while working relentlessly for our downfall.

Feinstein “notched plenty of records during her lifetime,” including becoming “one of the richest U.S. lawmakers, with a net worth as high as $69.4 million this year,” CBS News reports. “[Her late husband’s] net worth was estimated to exceed $1 billion.”

Excerpt from Pacific Sun:

Here is a compendium of the Blum-Feinstein family deals which I exposed to public light during more than two decades of factually robust and unchallenged reporting.

  • San Francisco International Airpork” (2000) revealed that construction companies partnered with Blum caused the budget for renovating the airport to unnecessarily balloon by a billion dollars which generated excess profits for Blum and his partners.
  • Hawk Tale”  (2005) The firm of Feinstein, Condoleeza Rice, Blum, & Bush—war made easy and profitable.
  • MIG Attack”  (2005) How Feinstein interfered in Indian casino siting legislation, while her husband builds Indian casinos.
  • Senator Warbucks” (2007) A national journalism award-winning expose of how Feinstein used her chairpersonship of the Senate Military Construction subcommittee (MILCON) to steer billions of Iraq & Afghanistan war dollars to firms controlled by her husband.
  • Feinstein Resigns” (2007) Sen. Feinstein suddenly resigns from MILCON in public blow back from the Bohemian’s revelation that Blum sells prosthetic limbs at huge mark-ups to Iraq and Afghanistan war wounded troops.
  • Daddy Kleinbucks” (2007) Founder of the nonprofit investigative Sunlight Foundation, lawyer-investor Michael R. Klein has made curious investment choices with his business partner, Richard C. Blum. Klein was Feinstein’s closest legal and ethical advisor.
  • Blum’s Plums” (2007) The first story about how Blum finagled University of California endowment funds to profit himself while he was a university Regent in charge of investments.
  • The Investor’s Club” (2011) How the University of California Regents Spin Public Money into Private Profit and into the Pocket of Regent Richard C. Blum. An 8-month investigation crowd-funded by Spot.us and published in multiple newspapers revealed how Blum steered University of California funds into private equity investments, often controlled by him, and how the university lost vast sums of money that would have otherwise gone toward education.
  • Going Postal” (2013) The husband of US Senator Dianne Feinstein has been selling post offices to his friends, cheap. The investigation resulted in an damning Inspector General investigation of Blum’s firm, and Blum resigning from the company involved. It is also a “best selling” book.
  • And the final report, “Blum and Doom” (2017) Feinstein’s hubby, and California pension system, take a hit in the downfall of ITT Educational Services as Blum goes broke.

From the appearance of her face, on this photo, it looks like she had suffered quite a bit ( in her later years ). Was God ‘rewarding’ her for her war profiting ?

Typical Democrat– always lining her family pocket. Is it also any wonder we are in so many wars with our politicians needing to boost their own incomes at the same time at the expense of American lives. So sad we have so many crooks in our Congress on the left and right.

It ought to give pause to all those other crooks and traitors. At some time they are going to have to part with their ill gotten gains.
They are going to a place where their status doesn’t count for anything; and for far longer.
But hey, let’s all live in the here and now. As long as it’s good for me , what the hell?
