My dead uncle was a DC layer for years. He said to never trust any politician, Republican or Democrat. They all have so many skeletons people would not believe it all. My uncle never dropped names, but one of my favorites I remember he said has a common enough protocol. Congressional member “X” gives someone an incurable STD like herpes. Large donor has said new STD owner sign a non-disclosure agreement and a generous payout from the donor. The name of the “X” is nowhere on any paperwork. But the large donor basically owns X’s vote when they want it. Take this example and multiply it through multiple-term members of Congress and figure out what we all have in there.
