Money grab

Exhibit A: The feds launch a grand jury investigation into no-bid, sweetheart contracts at DHHS.

Exhibit B: Republicans ram through a law enabling politicians to raise unlimited money from unlimited special interests and spend it in unlimited ways.

From the Grant Administration to Teapot Dome to Watergate to Jim Black, history teaches us where this leads. You could look it up.

John McCain, whose own scandal turned him into a born-again reformer, once warned that today’s big-money politics inevitably will bring a scandal.

History suggests somebody will go to the pokey. You could look it up.
