There is a bit of hint in the article. They are staying at resort/villa/village owned by Obama’s former ambassador to Italy “who made a small fortune as a public rights lawyer”. And there you have the “Deep State” in a nutshell. Someone who gamed the system well enough to buy a Tuscan village and refurbish it as a resort for the wealthy made his money as a “public rights lawyer”. And where did that money come from? Why us of course. No wonder they are upset with the swamp-drainage project.
“”Someone who gamed the system well enough to buy a Tuscan village and refurbish it as a resort for the wealthy made his money as a “public rights lawyer””
AND bought the ambassadorship!
Never heard of a “public rights” lawyer...
