Everybody on the inside of the beltway is married to everybody else on the inside of the beltway. Sorry to say, only one way to truly clean out the toilet bowl that is DC.
The senator how took it should have the same penalty.
It helps to remember that the Clinton-Bush coziness goes back to the days of Iran-Contra, when Papa Bush was supervising covert arms shipments to Latin America out of Arkansas (with drugs making the return trip) and Governor Clinton was busy looking the other way. Further, as was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.
A Nevada powerbroker who headed a billion-dollar real estate company and pulled the strings of state politics as a prominent lobbyist for more than a decade was convicted Wednesday of making illegal campaign contributions to U.S. Sen. Harry Reid.
Reid seem to friends with a lot of crooks.
Oh wait, reid, crooks - never mind.
So when does Harry Reid go jail for taking the bribe?!
“Everybody on the inside of the beltway is married to everybody else on the inside of the beltway. Sorry to say, only one way to truly clean out the toilet bowl that is DC.”
It has been that way for decades, and it goes out of the beltway to the Virginia and Maryland communities where the paycheck comes directly or indirectly from the Feds.
