In reply to the discussion: So Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance dropped case against Trump kids after a big donation [View all]Cicada
(4,533 posts)If he were crooked why would he return the $25000 before he met with Trump lawyer? If he were a crook wouldnt he have kept the money? And why would he do something crooked for a campaign contribution after previously winning re-election with 91% of the vote? The last sitting Manhattan DA to lose re-election was in 1915. Do you seriously think he would become a criminal to get a campaign contribution when the contribution had zero percent chance of influencing his re-election? If he is so crooked why doesnt he go to work for a big law firm where he would make literally twenty times as much? Do you know he was endorsed by Caroline Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr and the founders of the Innocence project? That as a private lawyer he spent lots of his time doing pro bono work for the indigent? That his father was on the Knapp Commission fighting police corruption? That hid dad was Secretary of State for the super clean Jimmy Carter? That there has never been a hint of misbehavior about him? Republicans were convinced Comey, a Republican, was corrupt when he said the law did not warrant prosecution of Hillary. Were they right in their charges of corruption?
