      So if he was a swamp monster...why did he allow them to do what they did?

      If this is true, why on Earth would Massie not name the lobbyists involved in the bribe? Is he so scared of them? He claims he is not afraid. My guess is that this story is complete BS and if he named them he'd be sued for slander. The vast majority of money in DC is spent on intimidation not bribery - they fund challengers, run smear campaigns, conduct push polls and take out super-expensive ads.

    From 1950 to 1980, the lobbyists were a second class citizen in Washington D.C. There were a 100 or so lobbyists. In 1980, there were 3 budding lobbyists who changes everything with their firm. Two of the three were tight with a fourth person who was not a lobbyist. By the mid 1990's, that firm would often work with *_both_* of the opposing candidates. By 2006, the lobbyists reached *_13,000_* strong. There were now several *_hundred_* former members of congress, too. One of the three lobbyists branched out and joined the "torturers' lobby" to work with the worst of the dictators or strong men. The other lobbyist became incestuously close to the fourth person. Who were those three lobbyists? The first was Charles B. The second was ... *_Paul Manafort_* . The third was ... *_Roger Stone_* . Who was the fourth person? Our President. I am pretty sure Trump has some sort of idea what job those two were working in. *_DRAIN THE SWAMP!_* Those two lobbyists Manafort and Stone *_made_* the swamp!

      Before 1975 the ways and means committee operated exclusively behind closed doors. This gave lobbyists no access and therefore no power. Then it was opened and guess who flooded in. Lobbying thrives off of sunshine.
