In summation, the W/S article documents the making of a widespread govt conspiracy that involves collusion, govt fraud, misuse of public office, misuse of government offices, abuse of govt positions, falsifying official documents, perhaps money laundering, illegal wire transfers, forgery, tax evasion, extorting taxpayers, theft of govt monies,.....plus an entire range of crimes and felonies.
Well-documented are multiple conspiracies by government insiders to collude in sub rosa deals to dupe the public into legislating Marxist redistribution schemes and sell them as "healthcare."
Clearly, Gruber had influence over the CBO, the White House, and individual members of Congress, alike.
It's hard to overestimate his importance; Gruber's role was central to the efforts of President Obama and his Democratic allies to shove Obamacare down the throats of an unwilling citizenry.
============================================
One can only imagine the derision and deprecation of Americans in the halls of Congress, and in the WH, as Gruber reprised his "stupid Americans" act to an appreciative audience of lock-stepping Democrats.
Indeed, as this debacle plays out, it would be very interesting to find out who comprised the "appreciative audience" at Herr Gruber' s many speeches where these revealing comments were made. A number of the forums may well have been at public universities, and sign-up lists may be FOIA-able.
All here in black and blue.
