There is a common theme, and I feel like you might be too much on one side to see it.
Yes the theme is you're looking for corruption on one side of the house and found 3 examples (one from 10 years ago mind you) to prove the narrative you want.

I just point to the 2020 (partisan-ly passed) CARES Act and how many republican politicians / lobbyists / companies that donate to republican super pacs had "record profits" and forgiven PPP loans. That's just one instance that outweighs the money you mentioned by 10x-100x.

Your problem is you've decided Ive argued Democrats are pure and Republicans are corrupt. I've never said the first part of that. Dems ain't perfect - most all republicans have shown you who they are since Reaganomics started failing in the late 80s.

The exception to the rule for dems is when one is corrupt / for big business.
The exception to the rule for repubs is when one is for the people.

That's my stance and most every large scale investigation supports this.

Edit: I gave you those 3 examples willingly. But on the 3rd one, go look at who voted against allowing FEMA more money.
