$10 mil in a Quid pro quo contract to influence policy. It may be legal but swampy. Is it legal?

10mil is cheap, yes its legal as long as the registrations are there and there are ways to get around those.

What part of lobbying AKA paid influence isn’t swampy?

That is the swamp. The swamp monsters are the politicians eating the cash. I have had a good dialogue with hog and that is the question you want to engage me with?

I think it’s worsening. The sheer amounts getting thrown around is disheartening.

Good. Now you(we) just have to figure out where the rich people are throwing their money in their efforts to influence politicians and determine if it fits our beliefs.

There's a lot of dark money in our elections now. That's the big issue. Foreign governments and billionaires all around the world significantly influencing elections and they're contributing and no one even knows who's doing it. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, "spending by organizations that do not disclose their donors has increased from less than $5.2 million in 2006 to well over $300 million in the 2012 presidential cycle and more than $174 million in the 2014 midterms." If you can't see the dark place this is headed, then you're just not paying attention.
