Exactly. Nearly everyone in politics and even within the upper ranks of govt has at least a bit of dirt on them apparently.

I think the "less dirty" of them were still required to fall on their own swords in the last election - people we thought were on our side who permanently destroyed their own reputations among the patriots by turning on President Trump. I've kinda had the notion that this was their way out. Their penalty was to be despised and then fade away. As opposed to the VERY dirty who will probably all die if they kept on "playing the game".
