I wish I could be more astonished by this. And I wish Americans cared more about incidents of corruption like this. They didn't with the Mueller report and barely did for Ukrainegate, so I don't expect too many to be as outraged by this as they should be. Perhaps part of it is the utter predictability of a scandal like this from the last administration. It really is remarkable how anything you think Trump and his cronies might be capable of doing, he actually does. I expect that we'll be hearing about more scandals in more departments as the days go by.
So, what is this? Like the 21st scandal from the Trump administration that makes Watergate look like Obama's tan suit? Is it even possible to keep count of them all?
What makes matters even more frustrating is the absolute refusal of Republicans to hold Trump accountable for
any of these scandals. They will stand by him no matter what revelations come out, and there's still the alarming possibility that Trump will be the Republican nominee again in 2024. Trump's scandals are probably the worst for any President in recent decades. Bill Clinton's scandals pale in comparison to his.
