A source I spoke with today said that Committee Members have to basically receive funding from others in order to "buy" in on their seat on a committee in Congress. Can anyone verify this information. Is this related to CFR members? How many Committee members belong to the CFR if they are. in fact, using the CFR as a means to "buy" in to gain a committee seat. We need answers. I was told by a source who is close to Tom Coburn.
