I assume you are talking about Steele, well he wasn't exactly a nobody and his story was "investigated with extreme prejudice" by a very willing FBI abetted by a mainstream press that has clearly taken a political side. I hardly think the Oil Service Industry has that same kind of pull, even against a mere congress critter.

He’s fighting the accusations, but if current events are any judge I’m sure the swamp will just wear him down financially with endless accusations as tries to defend himself in court too

Sounds to me like you are convinced of quite a bit!
Do you think that George Santos character was a swamp victim too? Sometimes crooked pols will suddenly find some noble or important cause to champion as a way to deflect or minimize getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
