Trump has to maintain the mystique of the Deep State by pointing out that others were victims as well. I hope the Republican Senate is proud of their “gangland boss president” they stated to be abused by the system rather than recognizing abuse of power when they see it. Where is O.J., isn’t he on the list, too?
It is all White Collar crime Trump is dismissing. It just goes to prove there is a divide between the wealthy and the poor.
Barr is making excuses. He actually reads Trumps tweets? Barr sounds he listens to his master’s voice. It is ridiculous.
Senator Chris Murphy is being scrutinized for meeting with foreign leaders, especially Iran? That is nonsense. It is the responsibility of Congress persons to under as much as possible any threat to the USA. There was nothing improper about his out reach to foreign leaders. At least he didn’t invite Iran’s Foreign Minister into his office to provide Top Secret information to him.
I find Trump’s sympathy for White Collar Crime very interesting. Frequently, the corrupt see their crimes as victimless. Prison is seen as a place for others and not the corrupt wealthy. Everyone of those people took advantage of the public trust that they took an oath to honor and then used that power to enrich themselves. Even Milken. Those that deal in securities are granted a license (qualified permission) for their trade. The public trust is important but these men, including Trump, find they are entitled to carry out their crimes.
In the case of Roger Stone he was at the very least complicit to the influence of Russia in the 2016 elections. It was a violation against the US Constitution.
