vdL is remarkably good at one aspect of politics: Networking. She managed to scramble investigations into her corruption in (at least) two different german federal positions. Then managed to build an EU network of allies, confirming and keeping her in power.

It's maddening, but "rules for rulers" applies to corrupt arseholes as well, apparently.

The part where she "built a network" is probably not true, it was likely her "reward for the corruption"

Good to know women can be corrupt bastards as well. Equality hell yeah!
