Let's see how our "respected leaders" like that!! ยท [Linked Image from t0.gstatic.com]
The "big wigs" spy on each other, especially when one becomes a loose cannon. Remember Eliot Spitzer? He went after Wall Street. Some time later, "they" went after him. Picked him up and leaked an indiscretion- going to high priced hooker, which he paid for out his own pocket and didn't put her on the payroll like a lot of them do. They "investigated" him under provisions of the Patriot Act and then leaked some detail to ruin him politically, It worked. In most instances all it takes is a story that some politician is being investigated, hyped by a compliant media/hack, to ruin a political career.
