Connection to Turly is very interesting. I need to go back and read up more on his past as well.
But looking at his experience with Emanuel's firm as a dirt digger - I think no matter what kind of person he was before, this where he turned bad. Imagine when you are digging dirt on 150 campaigns. The amount of leverage you will find, and if you carefully put some of it away until some of these candidates enter high positions, the things you could do with it.
My guess is that, during his dirt digging days, he must have been sucked into the DS web of blackmail - he probably has dirt on people, but [DS] probably has dirt on him as well, making him a tool for them. It also means he is not very low on the totem pole, maybe he is quite high up depending on who all he controls.
I can easily imagine the dirt digging days creating him to be what he is - sleazy smooth talking oppurtunist who probably found himself at the right place at the right time and had no qualms in selling his soul.
