“Not a politician involved.”
I suspect Cohen can say this because the purpose of the article is to focus solely on the fraud committed by those he calls “bureaucrats.” However, were he to construct an article focusing on the fraud and embezzlement committed by the politicians involved in running D.C., the numbers would probably dwarf those in the instant article. And that’s not to mention the money that most likely floats from the D.C. bureaucrats back to the patrons in Congress who throw money their way to begin with, in the manner of all government “programs.”
This sounds like a great dodge, a straw man, to give the democrat overseers of D.C. a pass on corruption. But Granny Nancy has proven otherwise. Sorry, Rich, it don’t float.
