Before that was ABSCAM in 1981, when seven Senators (six Democrat and one Republican) were convicted of bribery. Sen. Harrison A. Williams (D-NJ) served three years in prison. Rep. Frank Thompson (D-NJ) served two years in prison. Rep. John Jenrette (D-SC) served 13 months in prison. Rep. Raymond Lederer (D-PA) served 10 months in prison. Rep. Michael Myers (D-PA) served 3 years in prison. Rep. John M. Murphy (D-NY) served 18 months in prison. Rep. Richard Kelly (R-FL) served 13 months in prison.

I don’t think much of that money is coming back, either. But hopefully the floodgates of corrupt money are being shut moving forward.
That’s why we need a revitalized m i l i t i a movement.
A few bureaucrats might be indicted. For example the three DHS employees who illegally transferred huge sums of federal dollars into an outside bank should face charges. However the thousands of rank and file bureaucrats like the bloated DEI program people will simply lose their jobs under downsizing. Many will fall on hard times because with degrees in things like Gender Studies and Queer Theory, a poor work ethic and no serious skills they will not likely get hired by any non government agencies. I expect there will be a glut of Starbucks baristas, Whole Foods employees and sellers of hemp products.
Now those $25-$45 dollar books are at Dollar Tree for $1.25, and still they are overpriced.
Nothing will happen... In reality they know the IP addresses of all these searches so finding people isn’t that hard but the best I think we can hope for is they walk away from government.
You just can’t reasonably jail that many people. But you can run a shop vac through their personal finances and end their hopes of getting a government dollar forever.
COrrect. Heck I doubt if even a dozen do jail time.
