One Payoff in the Infrastructure Deal Is So Blatantly Corrupt That You Almost Have to Respect the Hustle

Enter Sen. Joe Manchin, who has been one of the key players in formulating and moving forward the infrastructure deal.

Who is Gayle Manchin? Well, that would be Joe Manchin's wife, who was appointed as co-chair of the Appalachian Regional Commission by Joe Biden.

Normally, politicians try to hide this kind of direct conflict of interest, but Manchin is so confident that I guess he didn't even bother.

What's worse is that Joe Manchin will get away with this.

He'll go back to West Virginia and claim he brought home the bacon even though the bacon went right to his wife's plate.

Manchin's wife will have gotten her payoff and he'll be set up with some board position.

Republicans will probably be too weak-kneed to even remove her from her position.
