Recently I have come to the conclusion that what you have just stated is the reason for most politicians being compromised.
I do not think it is money and power that necessarily motivates, or at least beyond a certain point.
I think once you have been compromised just a little, should you decide to go straight, it becomes like the mafia. You just cannot leave. And the consequences if you do are harm to your family.

How many of us could defy that?
