....as a bold green light to government officials in future administrations eager to convert public office to private gain. The Trump and Corruption thread will have served its purpose if it contributes, even in a small way, to making this outcome less likely.

Trump and Corruption: Documentation always helps. Here,
@CREWcrew shows how the corruption goes two ways: Republican legislators arrange to have money flow to Trump, while raising money in functions at properties he owns. https://twitter.com/crewcrew/status/1211097012206211072?s=21 …https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1211097012206211072 …Joseph Britt je dodan/na,

Incidentally, 32 of 53 Republican Senators — jurors in a Senate impeachment trial — have visited Trump properties. Some have benefited from fundraisers held at them. So have Trump’s loudest advocates on House committees on Intelligence and Judiciary.

This is why I’ve felt so strongly about basing an article of impeachment on corruption (technically, on Trump violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause). It’s not because the objective case is any stronger for this than for articles based on abuse of power or obstruction.

It’s because Trump’s overt corruption is really sleazy; because it looks really sleazy; and because Republicans in Congress will defend all of it loudly, passionately, as if Trump’s corruption were theirs as well — because it is.https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1211097012206211072 …

Trump and Corruption: “Corrupt” and “illegal” are not the same thing. Well, in the specific case of Parnas and Fruman discussed by
@brendan_fischer here, they are. But access to many politicians, not just Trump, is bought all the time.
