Was it during the Clinton, Bush or Obama era? We know it is corrupt in the Trump and Biden Administration

George H. W. Bush was ambassador to China and CIA director, you figure it out. Gerald R Ford was never elected to the presidency or vice presidency but he served on the Warren Commission while back channeling Commission work to J. Edgar Hoover at the FBI. Oh, Hillary was a lawyer serving the Commission.

Biden has weaponized the DOJ and doesn’t even try to hide it.

It's been going on for as long as Kennedy was murdered.
It kept getting worse and the final straw was Obama !

Eisenhower warned us about it.

Nixon was the last uncorrupted president and look what they did to him. I would say Reagan as I don't believe him to have been corrupt at heart but he made too many deals.

Probably before this but it was my first thought and early place I instantly thought of.

Martin Van Buren. His group(of which Tamanay Hall was part of) started the Spoils system.

I'd much rather have the spoils system than what we have now. At least that way new administration can clear everyone out and replace with their own every few years. These lifetime "civil servants" are killing us.

Which was Wilson's dream. Even FDR warned about unionizing federal workers.

The federal government is incompetent, overbearing, and arrogant.

It is not corrupt, though no doubt a small percentage of government employees may be.

Don't y'all ever get tired of conspiracy theories?

Yeah, those early 30's were pretty transformative. Much of the heavy lifting was done then.

Maybe as a percentage of the overall federal employees but Id hazard that the percentage of those at the decision making levels is well north of 50%.
