Ironically, many of the the same people who are cheering on and covering up the crimes of Trump for teaming up with Putin's KGB and Xi Jinping's China and Erdogan's Turkey and Kim's North Korea.
And even more ironically, one of the few Republicans who isn't mindlessly cheering him on and lying in support of him is a certain hard core right wing neocon who the Jane Fonda haters used to worship but now suddenly desperately despise and don't want to testify:
>Bolton Book Puts New Focus on Trump’s Actions in Turkey and China Cases
>Interventions in Justice Department proceedings draw scrutiny after the former national security adviser raised concerns about the president’s embrace of authoritarian leaders.
It's almost as if they knew for sure that Bolton's testimony would incriminate instead of exonerate the president, don't you think?
At the time, many of the same people were cheering on and covering up the crimes of dictators Ngô Đình Diệm and Dương Văn Minh. There wasn't a democratic side in the Vietnam War.
Was there a President of the United States who was teaming up and colluding with authoritarian dictators against the strong advice of his national security director during the Vietnam war, like we have now? You'd think if he was so anti-corruption, he'd go after Putin, don't you think?
Just as an interesting historical note, during the Nixon-Humphrey election Nixon made back-channel communications with various foreign players to sabotage ongoing negotiations with North Vietnam by the current administration, so that his electoral chances would not be damaged by any peace which might arise.
No, they were teaming up and colluding with authoritarian dictators in accordance with the strong advice of their national security directors. I don't think politicians are ever anti-corruption, not even Simón Bolívar. Anti-corruption people can be prophets, or hackers, or writers, or just regular people, but politicians have to prioritize power over honesty to some extent in order to gain power.
