I’m not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there’s tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

    Laws are only a thing if enforced.

    The fox is in the hen house so if we want law enforcement we need to make sure it happens ourselves.

      To add to this: The Supreme Court has granted the president immunity from any wrongdoing in addition to pardoning powers.

      So Trump or anyone close to him can essentially not be convicted which leads to the massive corruption we’re seeing right now.
