re: #31 calochortus

I heroically and fairly rapidly read through the last thread despite a couple interruptions (like neighbor calling to talk at length about, well I’m still not sure there was a point.) Finally, I get to the bottom of the thread and…oh look, another thread!

So this may already have been noted and I missed it, but you know how we’re always talking about it being not the crime, but the coverup? This may be a test for that theory.

Don Jr.: Hi! I committed a crime. Here’s the evidence. Enjoy.

The “it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up” usually involves smaller crimes. Like hiring an undocumented immigrant as a maid - technically a crime, but not something that by itself would ruin a campaign; until you pay them hush money and fake records to make it look like nothing happened. Or even when low level patsies (who you were smart enough to separate yourself from with a few levels of plausible deniability) break into a hotel to steal campaign documents and accidentally start a small fire - a little B&E by some guys you don’t “actually” know - but then you record yourself saying that you orchestrated the whole thing and want to get those pinko commie bastard Kennedys who have been after you for years.
