Years ago the left learned that they could get away with bizarre schemes if the made them byzantinely complex.

And what you just said is exactly why.

The Clintons got away with Whitewater largely because it was a complex scheme to explain.

Complexity for complexity’s sake makes prosecution difficult and it makes explaining things to the public more difficult as well.

Watergate was pretty complex, and the big 3 TV news networks would devote half their nightly broadcasts to diagrams, charts, timelines, and interviews to explain the complexity. Didn't bother them at all, in fact they made the complexity look damning for the Nixon administration.

I had a subscription to Newsweek at the time (I was in high school). They had big charts, detailed timelines, expertly presented annotated diagrams and maps of DC with the various venues illustrated with the proverbial "circles and arrows."

This sort of detailed, explanatory coverage went on for months. Many months. They sold lots of advertising with it.

It’s easy enough to understand if explained properly.
