We have had crooks in politics since the very early beginnings of the United States, including famous examples like Tammany Hall and William "Boss" Tweed in the 1850's. The Democrat Party has a history of corruption as a party (slavery for one thing), while Republican and Democrat individuals are about 50/50 in terms of personal corruption. I actually had one idiot tell me that the Republicans are now the Democrats. Really.
To get back on point, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton are recent examples of corruption and chicanery in modern politics, while Richard Nixon was an example of the same on the Republican side.
ALL individuals who go into politics have done so for power gains, almost all are corrupt, and the people of the United States are at their mercy. Wasting money? Pfft. The amount wasted on the false Russia collusion narrative is a drop in the bucket compared to the total amount wasted by corrupt members of Congress.

That's YOUR tax money, BTW, handed over to wastrels, idiots, and crooks.
