The one and only ethics rule for the GOP is:
It's OK if you're a Republican.Let's face it; they've been putting Party Above Country since Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. Remember Newt Gingrich's "Contract
On For America", that summarized the GOP platform and set it in stone?
Anyway, over at
The Atlantic, David Frum has a list of 15 Criminal Law Questions that El Presidente and his cronies need to answer.
I summarize:
1. Did the meetings that members of the Trump Campaign Team had with Russians lead to any coordination of the release of information the latter got from WikiLeaks?
2. Did the Trump Campaign assist in any way with Russia's social media spending during the campaign?
3. Trump campaign team members reportedly met with representatives of Middle Eastern governments who wanted to support the Trump campaign (which is illegal, BTW). Did anything come from those meetings?
4 through 6 are questions about the legality of Trump's sudden "liquidity" after 2006. All that Russian money flowing in....
7 through 9 ask to what extent are people like Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn beholden to foreign entities.
10. In late 2016, Jared Kushner's business was in dire need of money. He looked to Russia, China, and Qatar for help. Who did he approach, what did he offer them in exchange for money, and did any of that ever affect US foreign policy?
11. Did Michael Cohen share any of the $$$$ he got in "consulting fees" with Trump et al. in any way?
12. How much of Trump's current income comes from outside the US?
13. If Stormy Daniels really was threatened in order to coerce her into signing the non-disclosure agreement, who ordered the threat?
14 and 15 have to do with the $1.6 million payment to Shera Bechard, and the role of former deputy finance chair of the RNC Elliot Broidy in that payment.
You bet your bippy that Mueller is asking these questions, too.
