Just for fun, the justice department could team up with the IRS to check expenses and incomes and look for any “gifts” to legislators as bribes. You don’t need specific votes, just the payments.

ChevJames007, “Pay for play” goes back much further/farther than the Clintons. You can see it openly in action with Andrew Jackson’s “to the victor go the spoils”.

Tammany Hall of New York City endured for nearly two centuries, formed in 1789 and Chicago’s Mayor Richard Joseph Daley used government power for their own enrichment and further empowerment.

Teapot Dome actually had the Administration actually using national guard troops to murder prospectors to enrich “supporters”.

Pay for play goes back a very long way, involves all parties, just whoever is in power. The Clintons just did it better and yet less obviously.
