Walter Shaub: he's covered by 18 U.S.C. 201, the anti-bribery statute. I say this for no reason in

Walter is a sly little fox!




The President isn't covered by many ethics laws, but he's covered by 18 U.S.C. § 201, the anti-bribery statute. I say this for no reason in particular.

Shouldn't the leader of our nation be subject to more ethics laws than anyone else?

Yes.

But as @tribelaw
said tonite on @TheLastWord
, typically we don't choose criminals as president. So people haven't really understood how crucial such laws were.

Enacting a blizzard of such laws must be the FIRST priority of Congress as soon as we get control of the Senate.

1. He's covered by it, and he's gonna get buried by it.

3. I agree as this seems different

He's flailing all over the place and the usual suspect GOP congress critters haven't begun a full-scale defense yet. FNC and such are just throwing out "false equivalency" arguments so far too. I just don't see any possible way to defend bribery like this.

5. Today does feel different, like there's energy to act patriotic and nail the Kremlin puppets

This makes me think we may also not have looked at the (b)(3) provision enough in other contexts
