Gabe Kaminsky: Trump Family Business Dealings Test Ethical and Legal Boundaries

Sounds really damn bad.

   But, in Trump's case, you just about have to suspend judgment until you've heard a defense. The left spins absolutely everything Trump does in the worst possible direction. I don't see how the stuff referenced in the story can be ok...but that's the thing: over and over, the press reports on things Trump does in such a way as for them to sound utterly indefensible...but when you learn the actual facts, you see you've been duped.

   Which, again, isn't to say that I'm confident this stuff will turn out to be defensible in the end.

   I guess it's possible that he thinks he's justified in getting back the money that Democrats stole from him in those lawsuits. And honestly, that's not an abjectly stupid idea--though probably not legally defensible. He could also be building resources because he thinks he'll face another psychopathic effort to ruin him and his family when he leaves office again. A pretty slender thread of a justification...but I'm just spitballin' here...
