Open bribery and corruption (both the direct pay-for-play and the indirect via insider information), openly violating the law and ignoring the courts, betrayal of public trust, mishandling of confidential information, war crimes, take your pick of the many different choices.
And the asset seizure would be for the proceeds of all the open bribery, at the very least.
- niels8472 7mo agoSadly, these are all fairly "safe" things for a US president to do. Either because there's no law against it and if there is he can just pardon himself and his partners in crime. I know a presidential self-pardon is controversial but realistically Trump will be dead before that legal question is settled.
- mcv 7mo agoThere should be a law against it. It's blatant corruption. The fact that lawmakers and supreme judges have the power to make their own corruption legal, doesn't make it any less corrupt. The Nazis made their crimes legal, and they were tried anyway.
- Jensson 7mo ago> The Nazis made their crimes legal, and they were tried anyway. They were tried after being beaten militarily, who will lead the rebellion against Trump and the American military backing him? The military doesn't dislike what he does and those are the main ones that could oppose him.
- mcv 7mo agoPlenty of soldiers and veterans hate what he does. The current leadership doesn't because Trump purged them and promoted loyalists. But ultimately, it's the people of the US who have to do this. You're absolutely right that nobody else is going to do it for them.
