Scum ball billionaires should not be using money to buy votes. This is totally against the grain of our Democracy. trump is doing this and once again proves he is a very bad bet for the Presidency.

@emptywheel Really? The DOJ refused to prosecute so a state AG is doing it. Garland is completely asleep. Always has been. Starting to think it was a great thing that he was blocked from the SCOTUS appointment.

@emptywheel if this were the case, then we should start with CITIZEN Trump and his top-level followers. Not only have they attempted to mislead voters, but they have also committed MANY more election-related crimes and then bragged about it in public rallies. This should have given the DOJ more than enough reason to make problems for Trump, yet they give him free pass for everything.
