    Does anyone have a non-paywall link? I want to read the whole quote to accurately gauge how insane he is.

      People are always surprised when I tell them the federal government is so much less corrupt than probably it’s ever been, in terms of just pure bribes, or patronage or favors

      Its a quote from this podcast: https://www.audible.com/about/newsroom/president-barack-obama-to-host-a-great-book-on-audible

        Thank you. Now with context I can properly say he’s delusional. He’s discussing legal inter-congressman ways to be corrupt that were removed, but ignoring the post-legal landscape Trump is occupying.
