Nonsense. They get campaign contributions from virtually 100% of the political and economical spectrum. So do what then? Consulting job is after the post, and yes, it is used sometimes as a method of corruption (I've a read a case when some $20+M bid was given to a company and the person got $1m a year for x years after she quite the gov job. ...I read it because FBI busted them.). But being humans and all, people slip. But there's a difference, just as their is between Syria and NYC when it comes to "crime" rate /chance of dying. Just because you have a x% chance of dying from a crime in NYC, doesn't mean it is the same as Syria.
