How many of these would have been "mega wealthy" BEFORE they got started in politics?
McConnell sure wasn't. Pelosi's wealth comes from her marriage or her father's corruption. Neither one of these was "demoted" by any measure when they decided to pursue political careers. In fact, they used their political careers to advance their one interests ahead of the interests of anyone else, including their constituents.

You're right about this. But I was a football fan for years, and learned to tune out most of the fans around me because they were morons. There was one fan next to me who knew football so well that he probably could have been an NFL assistant coach. I learned to listen closely to him because he was the only one who knew what the hell he was talking about.Sounds like my experience as well. As for the rest of what you said - good post. Look, if Barr does do his job, I’ll do cartwheels. I still remember reading (on this board) posts from 1998 telling us the Clintons were going to get theirs. But hope springs eternal.

You're far too kind, IMO. Like DiFi's husband, I suspect govt contracts, insider info contributed to NP's wealth expansively.
