No One Will Find Out
But we frequently do. Whatever the reason, most infringements by politicians, whatever their hue, eventually see the light of day. Not that this knowledge prevents many politicians from proceeding to act shadily, though.
Take Senator Feinstein. In March 2007, Metro Silicon Valley reported that her husband, Richard Blum, holds large investments in companies that won substantial government defense contracts without competitive bidding. In April 2007, Senator Feinstein then resigned as Chair of the Senate’s Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee.
And stated that there was no link between the two events. Right.
FYI, it was estimated in 2007 that Senator Feinstein’s net worth was between $52 million and $115 million.
