Ah, yes: we should scrupulously avoid investigating or prosecuting any politicians who make tens of millions using their official offices or endanger national security through slimy deals with foreign powers. We should also respect the custom of ignoring incompetence of individuals who held high offices and failed in almost everything they did - because they failed to get elected President.
In fact, why hold anyone responsible, anyway?
Indeed. This is a suckers game. There will always be another set of politicians promising justice, accountability and whatever else they think will get them elected. And they will never, ever deliver on those promises.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.
