(1,588 posts)I miss the days of Watergate. At least we got to learn a little about what was going on back then. Our government is too scared to let us know how corrupt both sides are. They think if we find out someone took a bribe it's a matter of national security and too sensitive for us to find out. BS...

If so, can he be brought in in an orange suit and cuffs to testify?

And and mobster that took a job like that, given all the heat, would be an incompetent doofus.
