This reminds me of the Jim Jones cult scenario.
At one point Jim Jones was loved by the lefty SF politicians—wined and dined and considered a “community leader”.
Then, after Jim moved to Guyana the rumors started.
First a few here and a few there.
Then more and more....
Then finally the stench was bad enough that a Congressman decided to visit Guyana to see for himself...
and the rest is history.
So, coverups work beautifully—until they don’t—and the collapse can happen fast and without warning.
I sure hope the upper echelons of the democrat party don't mass suicide!
Jones engineered an exceptionally effective control scheme by removing to Jonestown, and then stepped out of the SF Rat pecking order by retaining the Loot for himself.
The "investigation" of Jones was a corrupt Democrat attempt to regain control of the monthly flow of the benefit checks.
The SF Bay Area Democrats didn't give a whit about the whiff of scandals or the Jonestown Captives, just the route of their Benefit checks.
