We've got a U .S. ambassador shaking down a donor to pay off her credit card credits. We were in a Venezuelan billionaire wanted to pardon so he paid what a Trump's personal lawyer's $50 million to be general counsel at a company nobody knows anything about and lo and behold the pardon falls out of the sky. This is a culture that's set at the top.
