JW's mistake was to try and weed out corruption on both sides. RATS have plenty of dirt the redstream press won't cover. Even the hint of corruption on the GOP side gets plenty of press time (even if the charges are bogus.) On top of that Republicans actually care if their guys are rotten and will toss them out. A rotten RAT is actually a bonus to their Base, In their sick minds it means more willing to steal stuff and stick it to evil republicans
Should have stuck with harassing RATS in court.
