The review of Trump's life is only beginning now

Donald Trump Was Never Vetted

“When a man becomes president,” said Rudy Giuliani not long ago, “he shouldn’t be subject to a review of his entire life.” Putting aside for the moment whether such a review should or should not take place, Giuliani has correctly identified what is happening. The new Democratic House that will conduct oversight into the presidency and obtain his tax returns, the multiple state-level investigations into Trump’s transparent business fraud, and the Mueller probe will all pry open a massive trove of secrets held tight over decades.

The review of Trump’s life is only beginning now. It will probably tell us that Trump is not merely a politician who has abused his power, or a businessman who has cut corners. He is a criminal who happened to be elected president.

It's high time we have class justice in this supposedly great nation! One DUI, regardless of circumstances, can wreak havoc on -- and quite possibly ruin -- a young poor person's life, while wel- healed criminals like Individual 1 go unhampered even when they criminally hurt others. We need justice.
