This is not rocket science. We all know this has been going on for a long time. Example: in the 1980s an apple farmer from central Washington was elected to the House (GOP). His net worth was ~$1.5 million. Three terms (that’s 6 years for those who don’t know) he lost his seat and came home … net worth >$10 million … and was handed a cushy job in the US Department of Transportation. I voted for him because he was conservative, supportive of the forest products industry, and held values mirroring my own. Like all who enter the political universe of DC, he became corrupted by the lure of money and self-advancement. No one is immune to the corruption present in the political system. I used to think that the USA was most virtuous of countries on earth … not so sure any longer.

They have stole from We The People. All of them need to go to jail and all assets confiscated. They shouldn’t see the light of day again. They have committed treason.
