        For the courts presumption of innocence is important, but as people, we know this guy. Trump University, Trump Charitable Foundation, Trump Org. All have been found by the courts to operate fraudulently. We don’t owe him any benefit of a doubt.

  • That’s how they got Capone. Tried and true way for getting crooks that rely on henchmen and ambiguity.

    Trump’s modus operandi includes a lot of implication. He makes ambiguous comments; henchlings that interpret his ramblings the way he wants get promoted; those that don’t, get fired. Prosecution is difficult when they can’t get a good, direct quote proving intention and direction.

    But crooks will be crooks, and there’s always the IRS to save us from the worst of them.
