Members of Congress and their staffs are on red alert tonight for a CBS 60 Minutes investigation by veteran CBS reporter Steve Kroft and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer exposing how lawmakers convert campaign donations into lavish lifestyle upgrades for themselves and their family members.

Sources say top CBS executives thought the report was so explosive that they made it the show’s lead story and delayed airing it for another week in order to capture tonight’s much larger NFL-viewing audience. The report features selected revelations from Schweizer’s forthcoming book, Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets.

“I’m under a publisher embargo right now and can’t say much,” Schweizer told Breitbart News. “But suffice it to say, President Obama and some members of Washington’s Permanent Political Class are not going to like what we uncovered and the kinds of personal enrichment and self-dealing exposed in Extortion.”

60 minutes tells nice exposee's on corruption. But corporations and governments don't give a chit. Nothing happens afterwards. At one point there was shame in being caught dirty. Not anymore. 60 Minutes may as well redeploy their reporters to work in a factory making typewriters and eight track tape players. The work would end up as meaningful as their reporting.

The only way to stop these leaches is to have a total election where everyone is a new candidate and the incumbents can't run.. The country would soon move to correcting the many misdeeds that have happened for so long..

BS Flag.

What would happen is a whole new crop of Ds and Rs would show on the corporate doorstep to panhandle.
