Ah, so you were just trying to force the "set aside corruption" framing. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

    Nope. TFA does not adopt the extremely narrow focus you are trying to force. Nice try.

I did and that's not at all what TFA argues. It argues that it's the corruption that's the problem, which is exacerbated by the lack of legal enforcement by the current administration -- mostly because many in that administration are either actively involved in said corruption, or happy to cover it up/pooh pooh it. I suppose you might think that some folks who haven't read TFA might buy your analysis, even though it's pretty much the opposite of what Krugman argues. You go, girlfriend!
