Considering the entire congress runs on bribery (erm donations?) and citizens united is basically a legal money laundering scheme covering their asses, just how fucking corrupt do you have to be to catch bribery charges? Did this guy think he was clarence thomas or something?
He did it wrong, you just have to call them “lobbyists,” and have them donate to your campaign or your PAC, (without coordination, nudge-nudge,) and it’s all legal.
IMO Citizens United is what brought US Politics to where we are today. Legalized money laundering and influence purchasing are apt descriptors. The sheer flood of money since CU catapulted us into the era of massive ad and social media spending.
The SCOTUS corruption is seriously disturbing though. There seems to be zero appetite from the Justice Dept., Executive or Legislative branches to rock the boat. The media keeps bringing the stories and all the public gets are tepid remarks and half-hearted investigation announcements.
Well he had literal gold bars in his house, so I would say that as long as you don’t have people dropping of literal gold bars and bags with Dollar Signs on them, most of the rest of the Senate is safe.
