Truth be known, I think most of the guys in D.C. are crooks on some level. They all leave rich. How does that work? They aren’t paid that much.
Look at Obama. He’s got four or five $4 to $5 million dollar properties. He’s never made that kind of money.
They get used to the graft. They only have a few years left, so THEY THINK, I better get while the gettin’s good.
Then a guy like Trump comes along, and they are caught with their pajama trap door down.
They won’t tell on each other generally, because they are all doing it.
One guy’s graft is another guy’s DONATION.
Obama inherited from his great grandfather. He still has income from that family trust. Gramps died in October 68. In December 71 at time of probate the executor of will 0’s grandmother was made guardian. She became VP -head of the trust/ escrow dept of bank she worked for, then moved into a penthouse appartment and enrolled 0 in expensive private school (hint: The Standley D and Stanley A wells are still producing )
