    Okay, so say they discover who’s giving who money.

    Than what?

    Is it illegal? Will these rich donors be arrested over it?

    Will anything actually happen or is this just performative.

      It would be bribery, and yes, quite a few people could theoretically go to prison, including conservatives on the supreme court.

      Also, senators and representatives as well.

      If this is big enough, it could mean a massive blow to republicans, and the dismantling of their conservative movement funding.


      Now, all of that happening is an almost impossible ask, so don’t get your hopes up.

      Still, just the possibility of it has the repubs scared shitless.

      I get the feeling they’re in two camps. Some rich and powerful people are true believers; others are performers. Why can’t there ever be a person who actually wants to be “tough on crime” when it comes to white collar crimes and politics? It’s almost as if the entire thing is designed to keep people where they are forever, rich and poor.
