Why people think that such things are limited to any one political party or that progressive liberals are somehow immune from it is beyond me.
Used to be a time, about a decade ago, where these very same folks would lose their collective minds when Mitt Romney said stuff like "corporations are people my friend" and "money is speech".
Instead of fighting to get money out of politics they decided they can just play this game better and their ends justify the means with very predictable results.
The only surprising thing is they got caught. Although it remains to be seen whether anybody actually admits fault, goes to jail, or any actual changes are made.
