If only laws on public email use were a campaign issue...

Members of Trump's Election Integrity Commission, headed by Vice President Pence, are using personal emails to conduct public business. This likely is in violation of the Presidential Records Act and is currently being used to avoid making disclosures about their communications.

The US today also recently published a surprisingly great example of investigative reporting tracking how wealthy individuals who stand to benefit from Trump's political choices are lining his pockets to buy access to him:

If only the campaign covered something like this. It wouldn't have had to be such a blatant example of corruption.

What makes it even worse is that they are so arrogantly sure of themselves that they make little or no effort to hide or even deny it, while accusing and lambasting Democrats (such as Hillary Clinton) of doing the same thing!
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
