This would be a question for our legal eagles here: If the Oministration had to "misrepresent the facts" and "intentonally confuse" the public to get something that is detrimental to the public passed, how is that not conspiracy to commit fraud?
Sure, we wouldn't be able to get 0, since he's still in the WH, but we could probably get all these civilian policy wonks. Just imagine the fallout for Dems when the guys who designed 0care get indicted. Which would be made worse when 0 pardons them...
No matter how much BS and lies went into lobbying for a law, the responsibility for passing it is ultimately on Congress alone, which has a responsibility to review and think about what their doing (Which, of course, the Democrats completely abdicated). All the bullshitting liars, crooks, and dupes who try to sway them before they vote lose any responsibility for the law when the Congressional vote occurs, though of course there are a lot of lobbying, campaigning, and ethics laws that may get broken and then usually not prosecuted in that process. Once the Congressional vote occurs, Congresscritters are immune from personal responsibility, either civil or criminal, for their official legislative acts, though of course a lot of the fools, Socialists, and liars in Congress who voted for it
were held accountable at the ballot box in subsequent elections.
