1. Who knew we had to make laws to prevent Americans from doing this.

Only GOP could do this, not only would most dems never do this but if one did the party would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

I have said for many years that ALL republicans are basically dishonest, corrupt and not patriots. There are some exceptions like Mueller.

BTW there is NO reason you cant indict a sitting prez. a memo? A fucking MEMO and wasnt the memo written by BORK?

2. Eric Swalwell mentioned this yesterday

How we need to tighten up and even write new laws if necessary.

4. Sadly many above average people attend universities and colleges to learn

how to beat the system. Ethics do not exist in the business schools and their vile approach to money and power by any means has spread like a pandemic.

Then we have to deal with that fact that it's OK if my side does it.

5. Perhaps our law schools also share some blame here.

6. Partly because not all students want a complete education

Many are more interested in finding out how to enrich themselves without ending up in prison

3. If Anything, Trump's Presidency Has Taught Us Many of Our Laws Are Seriously Inadequate

From election laws to nepotism laws; from security clearance laws to emoluments laws, and on and on, Trump has given lawmakers a roadmap for many years to come. No one ever anticipated a crime boss president. Now that we have one, rewriting many of our laws is next.

8. We have relied too much on "honor" and "ethics"

when far too many don't actually have any.

9. Yes

7. Paul Manafort is the living proof of Chump's collusion

... if not treason. But that's for another discussion.

During the summer of 2016 Chump and his campaign execs were warned by the FBI that they would be contacted by Russian operatives. Hillary's campaign were also warned. They were to not respond, but report any and all contacts to the FBI. Guess which campaign reported and which one didn't?
