I can neither add people as contacts from lobby or be added as contact by congresspersons from clout. How am I supose to interact with them without being able to comunicate with them?
You can add people as contacts just fine. They do have to actually accept your request, however. You can communicate with congresspersons via bribes and PACs.
Cancel button on bribes is needed! And money getting deducted from your lobbyist account only AFTER congressperson accepted! And lotsa different stuff.
Bribes will be made to clear/refund after a certain duration. There's no way that a bribe could deduct the money after they accepted. You could make a bunch of bribes then go spend all your money before anyone accepted.

I seem to recall that there was an ongoing discussion about assassination price. It was balanced just right at the beggining of the Clout and then people learned that they can rise their salaries to the sky wich effected in everyone assassinating everyone. It was then that Q added police protection, doubled assassination price and added protective equipment (in that order). Now that people are more reasonable with their salaries and CongSec is almost always in place people start asking to lower assassination price (quite reasonably as it is now harder than ever to succesfully kill someone). I recall that there was a notion that prices of skullduggery should auto-balance according to salary in congress but it was deemed impossible to implement due to some technical nuances and the very idea being prone to manipulation (rising salary for getting budget and lowering it for act itself) among other reasons.
The auto-adjusting price could be implemented, but would of course be prone to abuse as you mentioned. Realistically I think I like the price being high as they shouldn't really be common occurrences, but on the other hand I think they have too minimal a chance of success at this point due to how protective equipment works. Also, since I added the no stress gain chance for protective equipment, I think it might be too good in general. I'll look at balancing the protective effects of it to make heavily stacking it less useful against assassinations.
In other words - leave the rating alone and don't be childish. Game didn't became worthless just because cheater appeared, cheaters are everywhere and more active, frequent and successful elsewhere rather than here.
No man. Shit happens and people who make shit happen happen. Over the long enough time period probability that shit will happen rises to 100%. You should not punish dev because shit happened, he was not the one who made it happen. You should be thankful that - mainly thanks to dev's watchful eye - only one time shit happened, whereas without such care provided it would've happen many, many times, of that I'm certain.
Didn't even happen one time, actually. There's some automated protections I put in place, knowing that I wouldn't have internet at my new place for a while. Turns out that hasn't been the only impediment, but it was definitely good I added the automated protections so that it never happened.
About the facebook note: investigations, you said you'll make different tiers of investigations to target specific scandals and something like counterinvestigations. Someone else suggested recently in comments that investigations to know who's targeting you but I don't know if it's V1.0 or some further future release. Oh and "missions"? What missions? Like skullduggery and stuff?
