There's enough info here to convince anyone with a bit more than a TV mentality that the upper levels of nearly ALL of American Business and Government have gone "on the take". It's all about being "Connected" and ethics, morals, scruples have no place in American Society any longer. There are pockets of "old fashioned" folks left, but they're considered strange, and if they have a bit of aggressiveness that makes them prone to expose 'deals', they're considered The Enemy.
The Leaders of our Nation have been given the same Free Will as the rest of us. They choose based on self-interest only. They set the example for their children just as their parents set the example.
As a Nation, We're Morally Bankrupt.
