- Trump has figured out the secret to getting away with astounding criminality: In modern politics it's not the crime that gets you, it's the cover-up. Other than the #epstein files, MAGA doesn't do cover-ups; all the financial thieving is loud and proud. May 20, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- Any DOJ settlement that gives the President a dollar -- or a direct material benefit -- is a plain-as-day violation of the Presidential Emoluments Clause: "The President shall not receive ... any other Emolument from the United States, or any of [the states]."
