This is really sad. I don't follow politics, but I didn't think this level of blatant corruption really existed in the US.

The Supreme Court has struck down most attempts to get rid of corruption. https://www.opensecrets.org/resources/learn/timeline

Honestly this is a fairly mild example of blatant corruption in the US. It's so commonplace I really wouldn't expect anything less.

Is this really corruption? I mean, it’s just how our politics works. It’s so blatant because it is how it works.

This is true of every corrupt country. It's just how things are done. It's still corrupt.

Well I mean it's codified in our laws so you can call it "dejure" corruption vs defacto corruption.
