Is it the "criminalization of politics" or is it the "politicization of criminality"?
MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump accused the Democrats of "criminalizing" politics with all their investigations, subpoenas, convictions, etc. So they have decided to do the exact opposite. They are indulging in a criminal wave unlike any this country has ever seen. Everybody is in it to make a buck. Or a million? Or, in the case of the Trump family, make billions.
Politics has become a criminal enterprise. The Democrats were correct in investigating the crimes of Donald Trump and his stooges. The only thing the Democrats did wrong was they did not investigate enough or convict enough. We let them off the hook and they understood it to mean they could do whatever they wanted and there would be no consequences.
