re: #15 Charles Johnson
Colbert in this interview says he thinks Trump may not have even realized there was anything wrong with withholding aid from Ukraine, but he’s being way too generous. It’s clear from everything these guys did that they all knew this was a big problem, and they did everything possible to conceal it.
Trump “doesn’t realize” something he wants done is wrong the exact same way a Mafia Don doesn’t realize ordering someone to “disappear” is wrong. We are talking about someone used to ordering and conducting actions outside the law for so long, he doesn’t realize they are even against the law. He has no use for the law, or for any sort of semblance of ethics for that matter.
