#BeBest

Trump's former tax attorney in Chicago, Ed Burke (who's also a city alderman), was just charged by the U.S. Attorney's office with federal charges of extortion. It's moments like these where I harken back to Trump telling us again he only knows The Best People. And that that's who'll he'll hire.  I'm certain he'll continue to shovel this malarkey to us, and that his base will eat it up, tasty as it is to them.

As we've seen in his administration, time and again, this is the precisely kind of crooks he hires. Not just from all the guilty pleas from the Special Counsel's investigation, but cabinet members and other on staff who've had to resign from controversies, many of which are expected to lead to criminal charges.  It's stunning that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross still has his job.  Let alone isn't in prison.

But then, when that's the kind of crime family operation you've run for 40 years, that's who you know. And that's who you hire.

This article here in Raw Story puts the story in its Trump perspective.  And this is the original article from the Chicago Sun-Times which is the foundation of the report with details of the charged-extortion.
