Sometimes corruption is covert. Other times, you get this: Lobbyists
bragging to Politico about their plan to buy off our new Speaker. All
three of these were published in Politico this week.
1. “There are too many corporate PACs who are still sort of reluctant to”
donate to members viewed as too close to former President Donald
Trump, regardless of whether they voted to certify the election or
not, one lobbyist said. Now, “I’m sure there are people all over D.C.
who are looking around saying, ‘Wow, we need to revise the criteria
that we’re using to give.’”
2. “Looking at his PAC and overall cash raised, I’d say he doesn’t have a
huge network in DC,” “But obviously, that’s all about to change.”
3. Before the vote was final, one Republican on K Street said they were
about to start calls to plan one of Johnson’s first fundraisers as
speaker. “That reminds me, I need to get a date on the books,” the
person said, noting the expectation of other firms to hold events for
Johnson soon. The goal was to host it as early as next week, the
person said. It would be the “easiest hundred grand,” said the
lobbyist, a former House GOP leadership aide who said they were
offering advice on staffing to Johnson’s office.

in this race who has made that commitment, and I’ll always stand up to
this BS. Can you join our team today?
