It is not only the anti-democratic and corrupt actions of Trump, Sessions, Barr and so many others in the former administration that are so disturbing but even more so the failures to hold all of them accountable. The entire administration will be recorded in history as the most ethically flawed and corrupt administration in U.S. history. Congress needs to enact strong ethics standards with real penalties for violations to prevent similar future abuses by politicians and appointed officials of either party.

One of the guardrails are the penalties for violations. With a sign….”Beware..advance your traitorous pace at your own risk, m-fers”.
