    Except other business rarely do what he engaged in. Public traded business even less likely as who would risk jail time for a simple job at the end of the day? Particularly when it factors little to none for your paycheck.

    No there is nothing normal about what Trump has done. Or those that helped him.

      Granted, Trump was an outlier, but he didn’t create the shady practices he employed. It’s normal for someone to steal towels or bathrobes from a resort; it’s theft, but it’s not something that usually gets a lot of attention. Donnie and his people saw their crimes that way, minor peccadillos that no one would ever actually care about.

        I agree with you there. I believe his enablers acted out of ego and the belief that as president any action he takes is lawful. This is why I think it is so important to charge and convict those involved as it will set an example for those to follow.

        Legitimate governance has constitutions that are only as strong as they are willing to enforce then. Failing to enforce then essentially indicates they did no wrong and that a constitution has no meaning.

          It takes two sides to have an agreement, but only one to start a fight. They were happy with ‘law and order’ as long as they got to pick the cops and judges.
