The whole DC staffing industry needs a serious look. These are the completely unaccountable people who actually write the legislation that our congressmen don’t read and often don’t understand if they do read it. Most staffers are little more than in house lobbyists from various industries and advocacy groups.
When Hillary clinton was a senator she had more than 70 staffers with Huma Abdin leading the pack. Just take a look at former Clinton staffers and their employment histories. She’s just one example.

Only checked a few so far and it’s quite an eye opener.
It’s something we know deep down but really amazing to see it written down.
