While he was in office the K street crowd stopped even trying to influence him .
They just bypassed his office .
Also , when he left office , someone who respected him highly offered to fly him back to TX in his private plane . The DC three letter agency goons descended on that plane and delayed departure for five hours as they ‘inspected ‘ it . Of course his welcoming fans expecting him to arrive at a predetermined hour dwindled as the hours ticked away , I am sure .
Ron Paul , gentleman that he is , just took it in stride , but has not backed off an inch ever since in his pursuit of destroying Fed and DC corruption .
