The result of lobbyism and weak & corrupt politicians, who don't look further than their own career and friends.
This will haunt us for many years to come, because people keep on voting for those kind of assholes.

The New Republic | Will the Supreme Court Make Bribery Even Easier? by Matt Ford

If you want to see the dire state of American anti-corruption efforts, look no further than the Supreme Court’s docket. No fewer than three state and local officials are begging the justices to overturn their criminal convictions for various corruption-related offenses. Joining some of their pleas are three public-corruption defendants who had their cases tossed by the justices as well.

At issue here is whether otherwise lawful campaign donations to a candidate can amount to quid pro quo bribery. Prosecutors and juries in these cases answered that question in the affirmative, as did the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. But the Supreme Court may opt to use one or all of the cases to further bulldoze the government’s ability to police corruption among public officials.

All three of the active petitioners are Ohio officials—two of whom were participants in the Ohio nuclear bribery scandal a few years ago, and one who was convicted of more pedestrian corruption charges. We’ll start with the boring one since it is more helpfully illustrative of the unsavory dynamic that these officials want to protect.

”Donald Trump sänkte oljepriset med sitt utspel om förhandlingar med Iran. En kvart innan inlägget gjorde investerare affärer för omkring 6,2 miljarder kronor på oljemarknaden.
– Någon blev alldeles nyss mycket rikare, säger en handlare till Financial Times.”

Ok, låt oss ”connect the dots” så att säga😊

#spycops officer 'Simon Wellings' accidentally outed himself when he butt-dialled someone in anti-capitalist group Globalise Resistance while he was in a police meeting identifying activists in photos.

Despite his cover being blown, he kept his job & spent several years getting protest info online & reporting it as if he'd been there.
