Donald Trump has lived in utter disregard for the law (and basic human decency) his entire life. He has refused to pay contractors, has scammed and cheated those who believed in him, has used real estate deals to launder money for Russians, has cheated on his taxes, has obstructed justice and much, much more.
The criminals always believe they will never get caught.
Nixon believed he would get away with it, as did many of those on his White House staff (including his first Attorney General, John Mitchell … are you listening, William Barr?).
Yes, Trump has been sweeping the evidence under every legal (and illegal) rug he could find, but once we get those redactions uncovered and the Democrats succeed (no matter how long it takes) in getting access to Trump’s tax returns (as the law explicitly allows) and other underlying financial documents and evidence from the campaign, the carpet will again lie flat and the country will begin the long road towards healing.
The Democrats better not ignore the Constitution too. They need to impeach Trump, then let the toady Republicans have to be on the record stopping conviction.
The reality is that crime does pay and that not everyone gets caught. The sad part is the there are criminals in office and our system of checks and balances does not work when there are but two deeply partisan parties.
I decided to try watching Trump’s rally in Green Bay last night. I never did see Trump as I stopped watching the minute Don Jr. took the stage. Gag reflex you know.
Does the law mean anything any more? I’m inclined to doubt it. Perverse “interpretations”, showing utter contempt for logic, are used as a fig leaf over the dictates of the powerful. Law has always been used as a tool for the powerful, but it seems like what we’re seeing is a dissolution of the very concept of law.
