I'm not holding my breath, but it would  be wonderful to see some people prosecuted!  It's not just DEMS, the kickback are happening on both sides of the aisle.
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

This is the proverbial rubber meets the road.

Will begin the exploration of how a guy like Biden only working for the government his entire life can be worth tens of millions at a salary that was never more than $400k as President.

Menendez's trial is an excellent example.

And make no mistake, there are some in the GOP that will be caught in the trap as well.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The assertion in the X post, "The ONLY way that happens is kickbacks," concerning AOC's net worth compared with her salary is ill-founded.  It overlooks the fact Congress exempted itself from insider trading laws.  Most of the wealth acquired by Congressmen and Senators while in office is a result of insider trading based on information available via their committee assignments or passed on by others in Congress.
