Seems like sex-espionage might go a long way to explaining the strange behaviors of many members of Congress, such as voting against the express interests of their constituents. You'd think they would be closely monitored for this, but then how did Trump ever get a security clearance given his business history? (Not paying contractors for example, as widely reported.) Perhaps those at the top have arranged it that they are trusted while the ordinary rank and file are more closely scrutinized. Yet there are ethics committees, and the occasional prosecution of a representative or senator. Not much sex-espionage has come to light though, even though these are the people most likely to be targetted by it. You don't hear much about it in business either. Maybe discovering it is difficult because the compromised person works hard to cover it up.
