The Rule of Law Means Prosecuting Trump’s Crimes

In the culture war of the moment, one of the skirmishes concerns a law in Tennessee that bans teaching that “the rule of law does not exist but instead is a series of power relationships and struggles among racial or other groups.” That deeply cynical view of the very possibility of a fair legal system is one of the more controversial precepts of critical race theory. It is also the foundation of Donald Trump’s worldview.

Trump’s first major role in his father’s firm was via their open defiance of federal rules banning discrimination against tenants in Fred Trump’s apartments. The Department of Justice operated on the theory that the Fair Housing Act required landlords like Trump to rent apartments to customers of any race, and sent testers to apply for vacancies. Black applicants would be told Trump’s apartments had no rooms, while white ones on the same day would be welcomed.

The charges against Weisselberg do not include the allegations of tax fraud by Trump himself that New York prosecutors are reportedly pursuing, and will likely charge at some future point. But they indicate the pervasive criminality of his business, and at least open the possibility that Weisselberg will testify against the man whose criminal activity he helped direct and whom he reportedly worships.

jonathanchait His predecessors felt the same way. How many illegal invasions and bombings have there been in the name of 'keeping the world safe for democracy'? How many have campaigns that do legal trickery to get $ flowing into their hands? So much shadiness from all.
