I’ve said it before many times before anyone ever heard os Snowden...no one in DC is allowed to reach any position of power unless they have been thoroughly compromised and blackmailed.
I’ve said the same for a long time. They can make false protests and noises but they don’t dare cross the line.
It’s not hard to to see it being played out. Look at any scandal that hits the press involving one of these political parasites and then take a look at who they pissed off recently. Vote the wrong way on some appropriation or not to reauthorize some agency’s budget or for the power grab dujour, all of a sudden someone has an some teenage intern problem or gets into some trouble in an airport mens room.
