"The Crook Who Got Away with It"

"So a man whose path to success was formed in large part by participating in schemes to hide and launder illegal handouts from his father managed to maintain the illusion that he was a successful law-abiding president. It probably would have mattered a lot if Trump had been widely described in the news media as the crook the Times reveals him to be. But there is no undoing his election now.

Jonathan Chait at New York discusses Donald Trump's criminal past.
