If you think Trump is corrupt, you should read what the AP found about Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow. Charities steered $65M to Trump lawyer Sekulow and family. Here are the first two paragraphs:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jay Sekulow, one of President Donald Trump’s lead attorneys during the impeachment trial, is being paid for his legal work through a rented $80-a-month mailbox a block away from the White House.

The Pennsylvania Avenue box appears to be the sole physical location of the Constitutional Litigation and Advocacy Group, a for-profit corporation co-owned by Sekulow. The firm has no website and is not listed in national legal directories. The District of Columbia Bar has no record of it, and no attorneys list it as their employer.

The rest of the (long) article details a web of corruption that outdoes even Trump’s own.

Read it and learn why Sekulow needs corruption not to be a crime.
