I would not say it was totally corrupt, but it certainly appeared corrupt.

There are plenty of board members at Twitter who believe that they would make money off Obama produced material and that is what the deal was for but Netflix was just following what has become the new status quo.

The deal was incredibly lucrative beyond any semblance of “market value” and its hard to get past the FACT that Obama and his administration pushed for something that greatly benefited Netflix at the expense of others.

This is our big problem with leftists taking over boards and industry. They tend to “reward” those who help them in government service with cushy positions and lucrative contracts after the people leave “public service”.

Look no further than the military. Most flag officers stay in DC or that area and they take lots of board positions with defense contractors or think tanks that push for government spending. Very few of them are not “rewarded” by the beltway bandits.

The left uses this in other ways as well.... look at how the main actors in the Russian Collusion delusion have been rewarded by leftists organizations with high paying jobs that require very little effort (McCabe, Comey, Page, etc etc).

Look at our embassy staff - state dept, CIA, and FBI, in the Ukraine. Guess who many of them work for now....

Soros. While they were on staff there we pumped a lot of taxpayer funds to Soros NGO’s in the Ukraine. Who pushed for that? The same people who now have cushy jobs working for his umbrella of NGO’s.

Same thing happens in the Dept of Treasury and Fed Reserve. The “public service” positions have become a revolving door between the biggest banks/investment groups like JP Morgan, Chase, Goldman Sachs, etc as an executive to a few years of “public service” (regulating those companies) and then they go back to the private side for stock options and lucrative contracts.

Same thing happens in our intel community. Rise in the ranks there and you are guaranteed a very high paying job with the private contractors that our intel community now uses OR private think-tanks that dictate much of our spending.

Same thing for the FDA, CDC, and other health agencies....

Pretty much every SES level bureaucrat can get a high-paying job on the private side in the same field or for the same “team”.
