Trump White House was like a magnet for grift, corruption, and criminality.
Depending on your own personal character, you were either repelled by it or attracted to it.
It began with characters like General Flynn as his National Security advisor and Paul Manafort as his Campaign Manager, both of whom were to later face criminal charges. Manafort actually went to jail for a while.
Still, people defended Trump, and their grift was usually rewarded with a position in the White House.
Those that refused to go along with the corruption and grift did not last long in the Trump White House. He wanted "his" people in every position of the government. Many times, even in government agencies and departments, he fired those that thought too independently and hired his own "acting" heads. This was happening up until his last day in office.
Like a magnet, grifters and corrupt individuals were drawn to the Trump White House. It was no place for those interested in public service. They had to want to please their boss and get paid for defending him. Sometimes they acted in criminal ways to protect him from outside charges. They lied consistently for him and covered up his criminality.
It was like a national obsession. People were attracted to the crude and cruel criminality or they were repelled by it. The entire country was divided by these loyalties.
Lies had equal weight to the truth. Those that had no problem with lying found it very easy to work for Donald Trump. Like iron filings on a magnet, they stuck with him.
Now, as the door is very slightly cracked open, the light is beginning to shine on the terrible division that has nearly destroyed our country.

History will not be kind to the society that somehow allowed this 'CON' to be the President of the United States.
...Now, some of us want it now, but later is better ...Why? With later comes proof.
Sometimes it takes time to get proof. Also, some will risk all to testify. That will also
take time...
...To tell the truth, involves risk...an example: Michael Cohen
...Yes, he paid the price of telling the truth. And there will be more, but that will take time
No, I don't know anything...could be wrong on this..won't be the first time, nor the last..
