There are two vital things people seem not to know. The purpose of politics is for managing their affairs. Every politician appointed to the political apparatus has a fiduciary responsibility to work for the greater good of every citizen because the practice of politics is commissioned by a national Constitution.
Bad, fabricated, intelligence about a Candidate, for sake of promoting them as leader, will not be of benefit to anyone…let alone a political Party that exists to serve the nation and not itself … per its Constitutional Charter.
