Pat Nolan: Here Comes the Bribe 203

In the 1980s, Pat Nolan was one of California’s most powerful conservative lawmakers – pushing to shrink the government and expand the death penalty, while quickly climbing the political ladder. He was ambitious, disciplined…and according to the FBI, dirty. Behind closed doors Pat took illegal campaign donations in a scheme so blatant it became the centerpiece of a sweeping federal sting operation that took down an entire generation of right-wing California politicians. What started as a power grab turned into a full-blown corruption crackdown. But prison wasn’t the end of Pat’s story. Because after his fall, the former tough-on-crime crusader comes out preaching something very different…and pulls off one of the most unexpected rebrands in Scamfluencers history.
