Of all the politicians Navatek courted under Kao’s leadership, [Senator Dusan] Collins was its most important patron,” the investigative outlet reported. “The senator’s office steered government contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping Kao and his network for donations, according to emails seen by ProPublica. Sometimes they cut checks within 24 hours of the annual defense spending bill, which funds military contracts, clearing a key Senate hurdle.”

    If you’re over twelve years old you know that corruption does not exist in a vacuum, and that someone never just stops at corruption: there are always other problems.

    I don’t have to find corruption, specifically, to know whether there are character problems with party, history, personal life, or all of the above.

    Just like I already know these are just excuses on your part. You don’t even look. You insist it’s too hard.

    For whatever reason, you want other people to check out of voting, or doing even the first tiny bit of due diligence, and it’s not working on me.

    How is it you live in the US, you’re posting in a US politics community, but you have zero idea how few reps you actually have at the federal level? Your facade is slipping.
