Will Senator Rounds ever be indicted for EB-5?

Okay, I know what you are thinking, Detroit is at it again with his Christmas list. But to tell you the truth, that has been off my radar. Why? Well, because Mike did his smooth sailing to his Senate seat, so I figured, “Never happen.”

And it may not, but there has been quite a bit of chatter about it.

I had a good chuckle, because like I said, these things don’t come easily. So I picked the brains of some connected Republicans in the state aboutÂ the possibility. They didn’t know anything about pendingÂ indictments, but this comment sticks out from one of them, “Lobbyists in Washington consider Rounds as TOXIC because of EB-5.”

Yeah, let’s talk ‘toxicity’. His two terms as governor were plenty toxic for me.

Ethics Rounds

UPDATE: Is Senator Rounds using his voice over in this radio ad?

UPDATE: A reader identifies the person in the ad as Doug Rounds, Mike’s brother. I will admit, I was skeptical also if it was Mike, because the way this person ends sentences is different then Mike’s voice.

Not sure if it is him (towards the end of the ad, not the beginning speaker) but ifÂ it is, he is violating US Senate Ethics Rules (Pages 8-9; DOC;EthicsOverview_Booklet).This one sticks out;

May not allow name to be used by an entity providing professional services.

There may be a little wiggle room here if it is him. First off he doesn’t use his name (I am Mike Rounds trying to sell you insurance) though it is his agency. And the sell job is done by another announcer, but still a slippery place to be. I remember as sitting governor he did PSA’s for supplemental insurance (that his agency sells) those ads quickly disappeared after it was brought to his attention. These might just mysteriously go bye, bye to.

I wonder how much this is going to set taxpayers back?

I see Rounds is doing the important work in Washington;

Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota is looking for a mounted Bison for one of his South Dakota offices.Â You can call his intern at 1-605-610-6320 if you have one or know of someone who does.
Thanks

Besides being totally f’ing ridiculous, I heard he is going to stuff it with all the EB-5 shredded documents.

Got to hand it to Rounds, he doesn’t waste anytime showing his partisanship;

“I have had the opportunity to talk to a number of Democrat Senators who are welcoming the change back to what Leader (Mitch) McConnell is saying will be the new norm, which will be making through a regular order of business where committees actually function once again and are expected to get their work out on a timely basis,” Rounds said.

And when you talked to those senators Marion, did they tell you they prefer the non-Rush Limbaugh title of ‘Democratic’. No surprise coming from our new Repug Senator.
