Impeachment Politics

There is a spectacle playing out in Washington D.C. It is a purely political one. One that is not uncommon in D.C. When one signs on to serve at the pleasure of the President, one does so at their own peril. They know the rules, and accept the risk. Some serve out of a sense of duty, some for power, some to network, and some for the money. When everything goes bad, then everyone will do what they have to do to save themselves. Loyalty will go out the window when one is under oath. When under oath, the truth might come out, or it might not, but one thing is for certain, the politics will come out. Everyone, no matter their ideology has an agenda when they serve, and that agenda is self preservation. Whether that preservation is their freedom, reputation, bank account or what have you, self preservation is the individual mandate, and everything comes in a close second. Politics is a dirty nasty business, that is inherently perception driven. Truth and ethics take a backseat to power and perception. The politics bus is coming around, and everyone involved has a spot under it. It is just a matter of time. They need to get their lawyer on the phone, it is time for some billable hours.
