The corrupt administration

Thus far there have been eight Donald Trump associates that have been either arrested or convicted:

1.) Steve Bannon, former Advisor to the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Charged on Aug. 20, 2020 with defrauding Trump supporters contributing to help build the U.S./Mexico border wall. Bannon allegedly used over one million dollars of contributions for himself.

2.) Roger Stone, former Trump Advisor. Convicted of lying under oath regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election.

3.) Paul Manafort, former Campaign Chairman. Found guilty of tax fraud and bank fraud.

4.) Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer. Found guilty of providing “hush money” from campaign funds to women who had sexual encounters with Trump, and lying to Congress.

5.) Michael Flynn, former National Security Advisor. Found guilty of lying to the FBI about interactions with Russia.

6.) Rick Gates, former Deputy Campaign Chairman. Found guilty of conspiracy against the United States, and lying to investigators.

7.) George Nader, Informal Trump Advisor. Found guilty of possessing child pornography and bringing a boy to the U.S. for sex.

8.) George Papadopoulos, former Campaign Advisor. Found guilty of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials.

At the outset of his presidency, Trump, the so called law and order president, promised to “hire only the best people” —— obviously not the case. The Manhattan District Attorney is investigating Trump’s tax returns. A sitting president cannot be indicted so if Donald Trump is to be charged, it will have to wait until he is out of office.

Trump’s administration is the most corrupt since the Richard Nixon Administration.
