Leaked 2016 memo from Pentagon illustrates tactics used to "assist" Congress - Drew Phipps - 06-09-2016 I'm hoping I can copy it here: Nope, well, here is the link to the story: http://www.aol.com/article/2016/09/06/paul-ryan-republicans-furious-over-pentagon-memo-about-attacki/21466506/ Here is the link to the leaked document: http://static.politico.com/f5/9b/b67746e74364a7fb90f1b23b38e3/pentagon-internal-budget-memo.pdf?Source=GovD It includes notes on which members of Congress might be persuaded to vote against a Republican plan (which they call a "gimmick"), the use of "think tanks" and media outlets, etc. I'm quite certain this is the reason they say, "making laws is like making sausages, you'll be happier if you don't visit the factory."
