Yes, Trump Is a Criminal. Why Is It So Hard To Use That Word?

Here’s another good example of how far we’ve fallen in terms of our capacity to recognize and deal with criminality when it comes from rich and powerful people.

Nixon would have clearly been charged with obstruction of justice had he not resigned. What Trump appears to have done, i.e., attempting to overturn the election and subvert our democracy, has to be hundreds of times worse.  And still we’re quite reluctant to call this what it is: the crime of the century.
