It presents a slight problem when the ones they're bringing in to deal with the shitty politicians are the people who paid them to be shitty in the first place.

There is a truism as old as civilization itself. I subscribe to it.

If you want to know who is most responsible, you need only find the one who profited most.

There may be rare exceptions, but they are rare exceptions. Our elected officials are just the owner's revolving door, well bribed middle managers. The vast majority of them never rise to the level of oligarch.
