The art of being transparently corrupt

Trump supporters, so focused about probity in the presidency -- at least before Trump -- know what that money is for. They couldn't care less.

I overheard the voter stand by her man, Donald Trump, the day after the "Access Hollywood" tapes showed him in vibrantly misogynistic Technicolor.

"I'd rather have someone coarse than someone corrupt," she sniffed -- the latter reference being to Hillary Clinton.

What does that Trump voter smell now? Roses, no doubt.

This, though we're learning that several major corporations, including one with pronounced Russian connections, paid Trump attorney Michael Cohen millions to -- what?

To gain insight into Trump's thoughts? That's pretty pricey, when Twitter is free.

As i said on @ThisWeekABC to give some perspective: “Benghazi was a 4 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Clinton emails was a 2 year investigation, there were zero indictments. The Mueller investigation has been 14 months, there have been 23 indictments.”
