All of this contempt for the rules of governance is being laid bare by the House committee investigating January 6.
Time after time, sensitive documents, that were legally required to be kept intact and which ought to have been deposited with the National Archives, were torn into tiny pieces and thrown to the White House floor. Following these childish displays of petulance and/or ignorance of protocol,so as to try to keep the most powerful man on Earth out of more legal jeopardy, since destroying and making disappear government documents is, obviously, a crime, a violation of the Presidential Records Act.
At first glance, there is something humorous about this image, something of the childish, drunken, rules-flouting ne’er-do-well billionaire in the 1981 movieBut Dudley Moore’s character in that movie was, ultimately, loveable — and redeemable. Think about Trump’s actions for a New York minute, and there’s precious little loveable about them, nor is there anything visibly redeemable in Trump’s snarling, vindictive personality.
They are also uniquely hypocritical given that Donald Trump pummeled Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election campaign for her use of her personal email address to conduct some official government business while she was serving as President Obama’s secretary of state.
