The only reason to do this is because they know Trump did illegal things. Otherwise, they wouldn't mention them at all. So this is basically Trump admitting to illegal tax evasion.
So I guess this can get added to the massive pile of evidence against Trump that will never lead to consequences because the US is a joke and the 'justice' system is rigged. Yay for 'freedom'...fucking clown country.
This is what I think somehow a huge amount of the "good ones" still don't get about the state of America.
It's not going back to normal after this, just because you clearly trump out and put some well polished suit in the office who talks nice.
Until this situation can't simply happen again whenever a sufficient cult of personality comes along, nobody is going to trust the united states as a government, or trust it's institutions again.
Whatever happens domestically within the US is pretty immaterial tonus all out here, you can all try to go back to normal, but the world out here is already leaving you behind
The more I see, the more I come to the conclusion that balkanisation is probably the only possible outcome from the US’s descent into corruption and International irrelevancy.
Good thing we've already seen that presidents can make whatever reality they want. Looking forward to this being reversed on day 1 of a non-R administration.

Its a completely failed state.
The institutions all need flushing out too, even if they do flush the current weirdos out.
I don't think that they can.

Flush? That implies water or maybe air. Neither are the elemental force of choice for the immense scope of that global waste mgmt project.

Remember a decade ago when he said he was happy to release his taxes after his audit was done?

No, that'd be "dredging up old issues when we want to look forward"

I'd vote for the candidate that says their goal is to undo all the fuckery and hold people accountable (criminally, financially, whatever).
Sadly I know such a candidate won't make it into the general election with that platform, but I'd venture a guess that it's what many want.
