> Staffers from Microsoft and Amazon — both headquartered in her state — have been among Cantwell’s biggest political contributors over the past five years, according to OpenSecrets, an organization that tracks campaign donations. The elephant in the room. Without imputing evil motives (not that they might not be present): lawyers and politicians don't want to solve problems. They want to make a career of them. So if there WAS a bipartisan bill passed and she didn't get the credit, then she'd lose all those campaign contributions. Some politician said, "It's amazing how much you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit." The converse is also true.
