Summary:
"
How
Washington really works:
politicians
extort
money
from us, then use it to
buy
each other's
votes
. Best-selling author Peter Schweizer reveals:
How
the Obama Administration targeted industries for criminal investigation but chose not to pursue key political donors.
How
the Speaker of the House extracts
money
by soliciting political donations before he will hold crucial
votes
on the House floor.
How
politicians
extract
"campaign contributions" and then convert them to bankroll lavish lifestyles complete with limos, private jets, golf at five-star resorts, fine wines, and cash for family members.
How
congressmen use a little-known loophole that allows them to secretly link
their
votes
to cash. Congress is all about making
money
, not making law"--Provided by publisher.
