    This is all a result of the endless money being poured into our political system making it ripe for abuse.

      Well, this guy was just operating outside the lines of the law against anyone who had a grudge against anyone else he didn’t like. It wasn’t always about politics, it just became that.

      He was hiring people to record private conversations he knew the press couldn’t use for that exact reason, he was also making recordings of wire conversations in two-party consent states and essentially blackmailing people for money to keep his grift going, which is why he was eventually forced out of his own little project thingie.

      A real piece of shit.
