#1 Our campaign contributions from your NASA team are lagging John. We thought you were our man, and now this letter? How are we ever going to get to Mars ?

#2 A NASA director sent a potentially illegal email to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton adviser Cheryl Mills complaining their campaign asked him for donations too frequently.

This same method has been used in other settings. For example, I know a guy (life-long Republican) who had to join a union to get a job despite never belonging to a union before (always a part of management)--he was surprised to learn that some of his dues goes to supporting candidates whom he does not support and would not vote for. Another example. I know another guy who worked on Wall Street at a high level. He was tapped for donations by various NY Democrats running for office. He was made to understand that raises, promotions, bonuses were contingent upon his ~~"donations"~~ shakedown payments. He too is a Republican.

"May have broken the law." I assure you, these people are not concerned about breaking the law. They are not even concerned about getting caught anymore as everything is wired on the inside (DOJ, FBI, etc.) Other people must realize this too--thus Trump's popularity.

#3 I think we can establish that it will be easier to assemble of list of non-corrupt senior officials and associates of the federal government than a list of corrupt senior officials.

#5 @#2: Your first example would be myself. I mislead my Union on my political views to keep them at bay, and I do not post their "Proud Union Home" political signs on my deplorable central-Illinois property.

And there are a lot of us out here.
