How would you define "The Washington Swamp"

I hear a lot about the swamp and cleaning it out. What or who exactly constitute the swamp?

Career bureaucrats, crony capitalists.

People who's livelihood and careers are dependent on expansion and preservation of Washington DC bureaucracy.

The definitions will vary but in my mind it's those politicians that are controlled by outside influences other than the electorate (superpacs, K street lobbyist, multinationals, the MIC...)- which at this point is basically everyone.
Everyone has a price and most everyone is bought and sold.

87.689% of D.C.
Could be a higher percentage but we will never really know for sure.

Ask yourself this simple question.
How can a public "servant" go to DC, make $174,000 for 10 or so years and then be worth $20M?
MANY of them do just that. That my friend is the swamp.
