We need some kind of independent anti-corruption agency, like the one we told Ukraine they had to have to receive aid.




All independent agencies are dead, according to SCOTUS fiat. If we want anything to survive they'll have to be rebuilt, either with an enlarged court that won't strike them down again, or as section 1 agencies that Congress has to power directly (which will also be hugely corrupt). Either that or an amendment that creates a branch that straddles the legislative and executive, to be truly independent.

Yes I know, sorry should have clarified my sarcasm :)

It wasnt US, it was EU who did that, then gave us visa free travel and a few BN for it. Then monitored the whole thing and imlementation of it.

Anticorruption agency head cant be removed even by parliament vote, not even the executive.

But then again, every governmemt and political person has their taxes published by default


Didn't that anti-corruption agency end up being corrupt too? Hard to follow all this stuff.

Nah, they are fine. They ate head of presidents office alive last week.

Add: it's also not one anticorruption agency, but the whole bunch of them -- law enforcement one (think of FBI, but investigating corruption in government), special prosecutors office, another agency monitoring assets of anyone close enough to government (including immigration officers on a country level) and their family and a whole separate court with judges vetted by independent panel.

It's elections of Doge of Venice level of indirection.
