It's perfectly natural for the campaigns to consult on Barky's replacement, but it was odd Barky didn't admit to something so natural. Most of the scum seems to have come from Blago. We'll see about the Rhamn and the rest. More staining to come, and maybe Rhamn won't be confirmed, but I seriously doubt Barky was engaged in the sale of his old seat.
Probably was involved but through a third party.
