Not cynical, just realistic. I have lived under every president since FDR dies and Harry bombed Japan and I have never seen anything that resembles justice when it coms to our political class, unless they are an unknown minor leager.
Became a full conservative somewhere during the Carter years( I was born in the Ike years). I never saw any corrupt high up politician go to prison for their crimes. Not a one. Heck even in WW-II our country didn't do much to the Japanese bad boys nor the Germans. It took Israel to hunt a few down and the USSR got a pass.
So, all that written, I sense maybe a few of these folks will be tossed under the bus but I do hope maybe for once in my life the swamp will be drained and back-filled but again just my experiencing of history and politicians in my time doesn't give me much hope for change of any of these nefarious players make it to the big house.
