While we here are learning how many fellow Americans seem to be corrupt themselves or okay with corruption as long as it's their guys. There need to be serious consequences or it will spread even farther.

Though I doubt Perry's buddies were completely ignorant of what was going on and how it would benefit them. Best lawyer up and try to cut a deal in exchange for spilling the beans, if they have more sense than Perry (not certain with this crowd, but possible)
