11. I think they know that society thinks it is wrong, so they hide it.

But they don't think it's wrong for them, personally. They feel entitled to live by different rules. Rich and privileged and able to get away with whatever they can get away with. There is a double standard--what regular people can do and what the entitled can do, or try to do.

Trump has always used his money to fix all of his unacceptable behaviors and until the Presidency it has worked.

We don't know what BK is like behind closed doors or what behavior he is getting away with, like alcoholism, at the present time. All we have is the display in the committee room. But that alone would disqualify him for me. Not a judicial temperament. If I were a senator I wouldn't need to hear about his past behavior. The present is enough.
