This is the Kleptocracy tracker timeline from Johns Hopkins U. It puts each of Trump’s corrupt acts of self enrichment on an easy to read timeline. Well, it actually becomes difficult to read because there are so many events in such a short period of time.

    Either he and everyone he's connected with will be tried as traitor to the country or the US will have to be treated as a lawless state by the international community. Not that it was particularly lawful before, but at least they had the decency to try to hide their corruption.

    Not just see those files, but also see legal reprocussions based on the contents of those files.

    Oh, that's a very fine point you've made, but I have to say I'm thinking of repercussions that are more, shall we say, direct and physical rather than legal. Indeed, I might harbor some positively medieval thoughts about it. But first, we must see the evidence.

    Weird that he’s acting like the guy he admires who also robs his country blind (Putin).

    True. When I wrote the comment I thought of all people being invested in stocks or options on them that T tried so very hard to manipulate.

    Also, killing the planet even faster ris a textbook example of the tragedy of the commons, we are all getting fucked by his greed.
