Who's to say that the judge who initially granted that summary judgement wasn't on the side of the plaintiff?
I know Trump isn't "clean." It would be impossible to accumulate his wealth without exploiting the status quo. What I don't get is why this is such a big deal to you.
A real RICO case is the Clinton Foundation, IMO, and nobody ever wants to discuss it when I post things about it.
You answered your own question. Corruption is corruption is corruption is corruption. Stuff like this is what paints Capitalism with a bad name. Crony corporatism is used as an example to tear down Capitalism even though it isn't Capitalism. It is a cancer on our economic system.
What I don't get is why this isn't a big deal to many who scream and shout about Harry Reid's family doing a fraction of this or the Clinton Foundation whose criminal accusations are right on par with it.
We either oppose cronyism or we don't. Saying on one hand 'it is just business', while on the other hand, being angry at it when someone else does it is what is confusing.
I did something a bit sneaky a few months ago. I took one of the stories about Trump's cronyism in a building project but swapped out Harry Reid's name and some of the details. 'Reid' was widely damned with calls to throw him out or prosecute him and how he was the worst. (I finally had a bit of an ethical dilemma and deleted it before it went to far).
As to why your articles on Clinton don't get the same traction? I can't answer that. I suspect it is just expected from her.... Ie, no surprises.
