Swampers know there’s always another job on offer no matter how incompetent or corrupt they are.
The reason they stay in that febrile, stinking place with its traffic, horrible year round weather and ugly buildings is the gold plated pension. I hope McCabe and his family are feeling a sense of untethered panic right now and I hope every other craven, leaking, backstabbing cretin in DC is feeling the same.
How long before we hear of a book contract for McCabe with a multi-million dollar advance?
That's the way they get their payoffs with laundered money.
Bump to your post. (A “like” if you will)
You are 100% correct in everything you wrote. I know, I work in this area, deal with the horrible traffic and meet, on a regular basis, the types of people you describe.
A real swamp draining puts an end to retirement at 50 and pensions that can’t be touched unless you do something exceedingly horrible like molest a kid or something like that (and even then a lot of red tape to end the gravy train).
Probably will never happen though. The same folks in charge of keeping such activities honest are the ones who benefit from such gold encrusted deals. Trump is truly alone in the battle. I don’t even know if he’s mighty enough to stop it on his own.
