The Biggest Criminal in D.C. Right Now Is Trump
Ricochet ironies in all directions. The only reason we do not see that Trump has been referred regularly in place as a condemned criminal is that the word criminal Offense Civil libertarians; The most powerful scourge of the nation against alarm clock It turns out that, as its greatest beneficiary. Trump is not the idea of a Valjean jean, not even his: Trump recently declared He did not know if he were to identify with Valjean or his wicked enemies, Inspector Javert. His 34 counts for crime do not make him a person who made a mistake once, even 34 times, and who deserves a second chance. It is someone who made a mistake once, or 34 times, then had a second chance, and uses it to commit more crimes. That he is able to show it a Lenience on the part of the Supreme Court and a Ardent republican congress which puts it Superior courtyard of the Columbia district shame. Where is Inspector Javert when you really need him?
The most informed of Trump’s latest CC crimes implies personal enrichment, in apparent violation of the emoluments of the Constitution emoluments. Qatar gave Trump an airplane of $ 400 million which is modernized (at the cost of an additional $ 400 million) to replace the Air Force One; When Trump leaves his duties, the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library. Qatar also agreed To allow Trump to build a golf station there. If these twin agreements do not violate the foreign emolumental clause (which reads as follows: “No person occupying any post of profit or self -confidence, must, without the consent of the congress, accept any present, emolument, office or title, of any kind whatsoever, of any king, prince or foreign state”), then it is difficult to imagine what does.
No one expects Trump to be called upon to report soon because the Supreme Court of last year gave the president a ridiculously broad and anhistoric immunity against prosecution within the framework of his official actions. It’s about the same with Trump’s different crypto scams, who prompted Harvard Steven Levitsky’s political scientist two months ago to say The guardian“I have never seen such open corruption in a modern government nowhere.” In comparison, we to have Given violent crimes before in the district in the 1990s, when the joke was that “DC” represented “Dodge City”. I was here. Believe me, it was much worse then.
