IMO if we’re talking 20 or 30 years ago, you are probably dead on.
I think with Social Media and our Presidents’ knack for FORCING the Medias’ hand it will be much more difficult for these thugs to sweep it all under the prayer rug...
I think that their inability to completely control the internet or Trump's tweets is the only reason we are hearing about any of this corruption below the surface.
Let us hope the millions of stinging bees that is the internet can kill these monsters.
