What the Scoreboard Shows
This is not a partisan scandal. It is a power scandal.
The same convicted sex offender simultaneously served as:
- Financial advisor to a Democratic mega-donor (Harris)
- Weekly breakfast companion to a Republican-leaning billionaire (Black)
- Career coach to a Democratic White House Counsel (Ruemmler)
- Geopolitical dealmaker with a left-leaning former prime minister (Barak)
- Joke partner with the chairman of a Democratic-aligned law firm (Karp)
- Guest list manager for a Republican event speaker (Baron)
The network didn't have a political alignment. It had a net worth requirement.
That's why nobody runs this story. Fox can't touch it without naming Baron and Black. MSNBC can't touch it without naming Ruemmler and Barak. CNN can't touch it without naming everyone's donors. The bipartisan shield works because both sides lose.
