He said if I got it right, some political bargaining is not illegal,,he did not say it in reference to the indictment. ANd that is true in politics.
Did it anyone record/TIVO it? My early New Year’s Resolution is to TIVO all of his pressers from now on!
Here is one quote that TA just found:
“If, in fact, the various allegations end up proving to be true, this is ... the far end of the spectrum of that business mentality of politics. But there are more subtle examples of it that are within the lines of legality that still don’t fulfill the reality of service,” he said, citing lobbyists’ “disproportionate” power in Washington.”
He is hedging his bets so that if the truth comes out, he can claim that he was on the legal side of ‘politics as usual’
The man is corrupt and so are the people surrounding him.
