Vogel's explanation of the lobbyists being in the con game of bilking foreign oligarchs reminded me of the 3rd season of The Wire where Stringer Bell was conned by Clay Davis because Davis knew that a street thug could not have any means to get took by a grifter/politician like Davis (Carcetti also was taken for $30k, for GOTV operations that did nothing). As often mentioned on World's Greatest Con, "you can't con an honest John", if Stringer Bell or the nefarious foreign oligarchs where honest rules abiding individuals they would be impervious to being scammed.
