that was the plan all along. the people knew that and so did the politicians but it was passed in to law anyway. Any DC politician who now complains is just pandering and in full display of their duplicity to screw over the citizens. They know Trump will make a difference in how DC operates and the career politicians are all trying to get on board only to save their own asses.
How did Barasso vote? Is he up for reelection this year?
