This is/has happening in too - under & party loyalists. They all spent more time in backrooms taking than dealing w/citizens.

(The has a problem.
Many of the party’s top officials shuffle between employment at firms and work on provincial and federal electionsβ€”and the priorities and perspectives of their day jobs are a key reason why the party runs such uninspiring campaigns.)

Any Geordie over a certain age will recall the T Dan Smith/ Poulson affair, there was public outrage at the corruption. The Tories have made it par for the course and no-one is surprised, let alone outraged, at the BILLIONS of public money handed out as a result of much worse Tory corruption.

In the 1970s, the FBI conducted an operation offering bribes to elected US officials. Almost a quarter accepted and were prosecuted. The other three-quarters accepted but were quick-thinking enough to split the bribe with the federal agents.

Donald Trump made $82.5 million from his businesses in Ireland and Scotland while serving as president, according to a CREW analysis of his tax returns. All of this revenue came with extraordinary Conflicts of interest, mixing Trump’s personal financial interests. Trump raked in over one billion dollars in income during his four years in office, with up to $160 million in total coming from businesses in foreign countries with interest in U.S. foreign policy. Aberdeen and Turnberry, neither has turned a profit and both have hemorrhaged money from the criminally convicted Trump Organization since their purchase.

Clarence Thomas has so many simultaneous bribery scandals that WaPo set up a handy carousel of corruption on its homepage.

Do you remember Jack Abramoff?
Black Jack the lobbyist? He went to jail for violating lobbying laws. There is a law called the JACK act that toughens disclosure laws for people who lobby government agencies.

Clarence Thomas and his wife Coup plot Ginni are a DC crime wave couple who violated all the disclosure rules in the JACK act. Turns out she also received $$$ and was instructed NOT to disclose it-

There goes the β€œI didn’t know i had to β€œ excuse.
