alt Hacker NewsIf we actually punished corrupt officials and we had some kind of truth serum that forced people to admit yes/no as to whether they are corrupt, I would not be surprised if the majority of officials in the federal government would be culled. Its practically a breeding ground for corruption.
What do you count as "officials"? I doubt some random manager at the FAA or CFPB took bribes. The rank and file tend to take this stuff seriously.
The high-level appointees? Yeah, I'd believe it if most of them had to go. And good riddance to them if they did.
