Imagine the furor among the GOP if, during and just after the Barack Obama administration, more than dozen of his campaign officials were arrested, referred for federal investigation, indicted, forced to resign or otherwise became enveloped in scandal. Not just controversy, but really ugly scandal.
Imagine if just 24 days after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, his national security adviser was forced to resign?
Yeah, it’s painful to pull the curtain back and relive some of the outrageous things to which we became numb during the administration of former President Donald Trump. But the thing is, that outrageous parade of corruption in the Trump White House is still happening – still making news.
And like it or not, we must not allow ourselves to forget it.
Just last week, we were reminded of Trump’s tawdry term by the Tuesday indictment and arrest of his inaugural committee chairman and close friend Tom Barrack on charges of illegal foreign lobbying. Barrick was, according to federal prosecutors, an unregistered agent for the United Arab Emirates.
