Maybe I'm being too generous but the electorate has all the power over elected officials. If a candidate makes a big deal over free file and voters don't care, then the lobbyists are effectively absolved. You'd have to show me that Congress actually had this on their agenda and removed it at the behest of lobbyists to say it's really corruption. Unless they're actively spreading disinformation or corrupting the vote.
