Corruption, as far as the eye can see.
It would seem the lawyers recognize Nicholas is the superior candidate.
So, we see how Political Corruption and Influence begins - I owe you for backing my Political Campaign, and for anyone that doesn't recognize that then you are an extremely naive and totally uninformed person - because Politics in any Form is about Money, Favors, and Self-Serving - too bad that we cannot Track how this Judge or any Judge - Shows Favor in their Courtroom for the Political Money they are given by the Attorneys that stand in front of them in Court - - At least you know what Attorney to Hire if you ever need to go in front of a particular Judge by looking at the Political Contributors to their Campaign, which is available to the Public!
