And here’s me thinking an ex presidents son in law passing America’s top secrets to the Saudis for 2billion dollars was a serious crime.

So, a sitting Presidents family member is being investigated for financial crimes. Does this also mean an ex Presidents family members will get the same treatmen? I guess we'll just have to wait and wait and wait...

If he deserves to be prosecuted because he violated the law then treat him like the rest of us. It's not that hard people.
