Hi Everyone,
I've seemed to have forgotten that phrase that means "to pull the wool over someone's eyes" or otherwise cook the books so that you appear to be doing what you're supposed to but it's actually just a facade. It usually used in reference to "apparatchicki" I think.
EX: The bureaucrats falsified documents to pull the wool over the administrator's eyes, so that they would continue to be paid more than their staff.
Thanks!
