I am a retired federal law enforcement officer and will happily confess that I am a true believer in Sam Clemens’ (also known as Mark Twain) famous remark “Congress is America’s only true native criminal class.” With all that feel good ethics laws the congressional critters passed and which they creatively evade, the old pre Watergate days of bulging envelopes is gone. Now the Congressional critters have to be more creative. They have lifetime pensions and medical insurance plans paid by your tax dollars. They cannot convert their campaign funds to personal use anymore so they set up political action committees to buy more influence. To supplement their meager incomes they share their “wisdom” with anyone willing to pay for it. Then share their experience and wisdom in self-published books such as the famous and inspiring “A Gourmet’s Guide to Rape and Murder in Politics on your Dime”. A guide to public service where the writer confesses that he or she screwed the taxpayers (THAT IS YOU!) Got investment information from “friends” got richer taking advantage of it without fear of criminal sanctions because of self-created exemptions. Where can you buy the book? You cannot because for some strange reason they all seem to be bought by lobbyists!!! Just remember Sam Clemens’ (also known as Mark Twain) was a Victorian gentleman and in those gentler days “being in congress” was a euphemism for “fornication”. So logically it can follow that congress is in “in congress” with you every day!! THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

Humm,, I would have thought that the Trumpers here would support her point on this; If those "high" administration officials think Trump is not fit to be President, then take action, don't just post anonymous op-eds.

By the way, the whole "Indian" issue is really beating a dead horse.
