I think the political angle of this should not be discounted

I mean it's not even politics in the way most people think about it—like this is just blatant corruption. Trump moved in and said this is my swamp.

We're not even gonna get a good investigative journalism podcast about the corruption because it's just right there in front of you. There's not much to uncover.

We need some kind of independent anti-corruption agency, like the one we told Ukraine they had to have to receive aid.

It wasnt US, it was EU who did that, then gave us visa free travel and a few BN for it. Then monitored the whole thing and imlementation of it.

Anticorruption agency head cant be removed even by parliament vote, not even the executive.

But then again, every governmemt and political person has their taxes published by default
