McCarthy: The Trump Slush Fund is an Abuse of Political Power, Not a Legal Wrong

link

   At least every week or so Trump does something that makes me ashamed to have voted for him...despite the fact that there wasn't really any alternative...

   OTOH, the Dems have already deployed really despicable lawfare campaigns against him--both when he was in office and out of it. And they've made it clear that they'll come after him and his family (and possibly anyone in his administration) when he leaves office for good. And Democrat judges and Democrat juries will be only too happy to do their part. Not to mention a (saints preserve us) Democrat administration...

   So, as angrifying and appalling as this is...I can't quite blame him to the degree I, perhaps, ought to.

   And I'm going to add that the Dems do roughly the same sort of thing, having handed out hefty settlements to several of the Russiagategate conspirators. Not even mention their pervasive sue-and-settle schemes...which are somewhat different...but much more harmful than anything Trump is doing.

   Nevertheless: I wish Congress would grow a pair and fire a shot across the Presidential bow...
