George W. Bush, who declined to endorse Donald Trump (or anybody) in 2016, and made muttered elliptical criticisms of the 45th president, has thrown himself into the task of covering up Trump\u2019s many crimes. Bush, reports\u00a0Politico<\/em><\/a>, is raising money for candidates who are committed to maintaining the cover-ups.<\/p>\n

To be sure, Bush doesn\u2019t put it that way, and almost certainly doesn\u2019t think of it that way. But it is syllogistically true. The Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress have followed a course of non-oversight, blocking disclosure of Trump\u2019s tax returns, allowing him to to be paid by figures at home and abroad known only to him, and preventing investigations of multiple cases of misconduct. Working to maintain Republican control of Congress is ipso facto working to maintain the cover-ups.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
