   The founding fathers had a lot on their plate. If someone had suggested that they discuss whether a convicted felon should be president, I would imagine that they would have told him they needed to stick to things that could realistically need to be addressed and that if the people were actually stupid enough for that to become an issue, they might as well forget this whole Democracy thing anyway.

   Be glad he’s dead. If my dad heard you say he had anything to do with the GOP, he would hunt you down and “knock some sense into you”.

   Donald Trump offered oil executives the reversal of some of President Joe Biden’s climate policies upon the former president’s reelection in exchange for campaign contributions, specifically $1 Biillion dollars.

   The chairs of the Senate Finance and Budget committees announced in a joint statement Thursday that they have sent letters to nine oil companies, including ExxonMobile and Chevron, asking for additional information related to a fundraiser event where Trump allegedly sought $1 billion in campaign contributions in return for promises of policy changes to benefit their companies.

   That is the “quid pro quo” that is illegal. The way this is supposed to work is that the candidate puts out statements of what he intends to do and people donate based on liking or disliking what he says. It’s a simple rule, and whether the donation is a bribe or not is mostly in the mind of the donor. Trump, instead, announced it at a meeting of oil execs.

   I don’t know how the GOP allowed this to happen. They should know campaign rules better than I do. Trump is either too stupid to understand the rules, or he has lived so long with the notion that rules don’t apply to him that he is simply unable to realize that they do. This is why we was guilty of 34 legal violations, and why he seems to be unable to stop behaving illegally, and worse yet, unable to at least stop doing it on tape.

   Colangelo recently served as a senior official in the US Justice Department and before that served as an attorney on the Trump Foundation investigation with the New York attorney general’s office. He will now serve as senior counsel to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, according to an announcement from the office.

   He will also focus on the office’s “cases, policies, and strategies in housing and tenant protection and labor and worker protection,” marking the first time the Manhattan district attorney’s office will have an executive position in these areas.

   In other words, he was transferred from the Trump case, to another area of the department, one which is involved with the above subjects. There is no reason to think it is not just a normal departmental transfer, probably needed because Trump has been convicted, so investigation into his affairs is no longer needed.
