I remember when I was younger. I studied Political Science and did internships in Washington. Perhaps I was too idealistic. But I believed that you went to DC to do good in and for the world. After graduation, I returned to DC but soon became disillusioned by the pursuit of power vs the pursuit of good. At this time, I was still young enough to be naive about corruption, but smart enough to say this wasn't for me. What I can't understand -- and maybe I am now to old to be naive -- is how so many people who believed lies spewed by a former President wanting to clean the swamp still believe and adhere to his even bigger lies. And maybe we need to change the vernacular. Government and policy over politics and partisanship. Let's face it. We need to make examples of men like those indicted, along with the top of the lying chain. Until their punishment matches their crimes against America and our democracy, this corruption, power-mongering and partisan games will continue. I'm glad Thomas Barrack is being held in detention.

And why they didn’t care one bit about Jamal Khashoggi.
