“The Idealist: Jeff Smith was a rising political star. Then the FBI started asking questions about his past.”

This New Republic article, which touches on the FEC and and FBI political investigation, comes highly recommended by Mike Allen. He says: “If you’re a young person who works in politics or wants to work in politics, this could be the most important Playbook you ever read. In the chaos of a campaign, someone may tempt you to cut a corner or cross a line into something illegal or unethical, and may offer an apparently compelling justification for doing so. An electrifying article in the forthcoming issue of The New Republic shows how costly that can be.”
