You're new, so perhaps I accidentally mislead you into thinking it'd be okay to claim that someone working as a lobbyist before appointment was proof that he was corrupt in office. At least that's what I assume your bolding was supposed to imply. Many lobbyists are big experts in their field, and presidents would be hard put to fill top government appointments with what they felt were the best people without any who had lobbied at some point.

Imo, to carry your point of corruption, "imo" should have been followed by citing positive results of criminal investigation into your "imo, criminal dereliction of duty." Notably, President Obama did not think so or he would have asked for his resignation.

I'm afraid comparing policies sanctioned by the Democratic president they serve, and that had positive payoffs as well as negative, to what the Republicans are doing does not pass the "okay with me" test, so please don't think I'm encouraging you to continue this particular path. As you say yourself, they're NOT comparable.

Stay safe.
