If a lawmaker knows they'll only be in office for a limited period of time, there's potentially incentive to behave extra dishonestly to maximize how much they can profit. Additionally, however you feel about established lawmakers, the current multi-term career lawmakers are very familiar with the process of making laws. If there's a higher proportion of new lawmakers, then the people most familiar with the process of making laws would be the lobbyists. That could result in them having a larger influence on the whole process. The balance is that newer lawmakers are potentially less corrupted from decades in the system. It's not easy to say what the net result would be.
