Once in a while, a succinct description of a progression of choices takes your breath away with the intentional, focused corruption.
The DOJ will not indict a sitting president, and to start his term, Mr. Trump fired 18 inspectors general, who might otherwise have been able to investigate and shine light on the critical activities of this administration. In Feb., he ordered the DOJ to suspend enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits the bribery of foreign officials. (Four months later, the suspension was lifted.) Enforcement agencies have shifted their priorities away from crypto, while the administration has helped usher in legislation preferred by the crypto industry.
