Corruption “dangers“? The guy’s fucking corrupt all the way to the core. It’s not a “danger“, it’s a certainty.
And there's no danger in corruption if his administration has no intent to prosecute it. It's the goal.
Trump ~~’s court~~ i ~~ng of big donor~~ s ~~poses major~~ corrupt ~~ion dangers, experts warn~~
There. I think that covers it.
I mean shit, if corruption were the worst of him we’d be in a lot better shape than we are now.
I did my best with the headline they gave me.
You did fine, but man is the headline underselling the problem. They got Al Capone for tax evasion, too, so here’s hoping history repeats.
You telling me that a corrupt ~~conman~~ businessman with basically no morals is taking blatant quid pro quo bribes as part of his presidential campaign?? I can't believe it! /s
Seriously though, it's not a danger of him using the presidential seat for corrupt motives, it's a certainty. The world got lucky last time that his shoddy handling of Covid basically kneecapped his plans, but even then he still did near irreversible damage to the executive branch in the form of the now also blatantly corrupt SCOTUS judges. Don't give him a second chance.
To the compromised six on the Supreme Court, a plain interpretation of the Constitution would indicate that it's gratuities when Trump does what are bribes and corruption to everyone else.
Oh they're solving this in maine with a clause in the 2010 SuperPAC laws that states that if there's a reasonable expectation of favors coming from donations than it's not allowed.
I imagine the burden of proof is an issue.
Apparently they're going to use preexisting verdicts against some governor and one against Trump himself as the proof.
Too late, he’s already corrupt, as is everyone that associates with him. Every politician, every judge, every business owner that speaks his name in a positive light is corrupt to the core.
Sure Trump is corrupt, but is this really new?
If they're trying to act like every politician isn't completely owned, good luck with that.
Everyone is corrupt in a fundmentally corrupt system.
I guess the bar for being an expert isn’t very high these days.
Cute to think the United States finally cared about donor corruption.
Headline is 4 words (and a "'s") too long.
There was no quid pro quo
