Do you want to know how influence peddling works?
All the VIP had to do was show up at a meeting, or get on a conference call, and make nice with the people who're being greased (and talk about the weather), and then the broker would make the proposal promising access to the VIP once he leaves the room, or the call.
That's Influence-Peddling. And anyone who says that Joe Biden only talked about the weather (or about Yoga) knows this is how it works.
When money starts showing up in these people's bank accounts, then the conspiracy becomes undeniable.
