Expensive lawyers also have political hook ups. They go golfing with the local rich people. Their kids are friends with the rich families’ friends. And when those people need legal advice, they ask the expensive lawyers for advice. The expensive lawyers then start knowing who is doing what, and more importantly, who’s breaking or has broken the law. They can then use this information to ask for a favor to stay quiet.
The Suits show did this a lot in the first couple of seasons, but so much so that it became boring in the latter seasons. House of Cards and Ozark also demonstrated how back door dealing can get things done with the right motivation.
Granted these are TV shows, but if I’m not mistaken I believe one of the Clinton’s said HoC is very close to what actually happens.
