Just a few excerpts from a detailed article which very clearly lays out the cronyism in this over-the-top corrupt and on the take administration.
Quote:
The horrors of the Trump administration’s “zero-tolerance” enforcement policies against immigrants have been widely reported but certainly bear repeating. There is the eponymous “zero-tolerance” Department of Justice policy that instructs U.S. attorneys to prosecute first-time border crossers. The workplace raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement that terrorize entire communities. The thousands of children who were separated from their parents as a result of the accelerated enforcement, hundreds of whom remain separated in spite of a court order requiring the administration to reunite families by July 26. It's a grotesque parody of a legal system these children endure, with toddlers as young as three forced to attend deportation proceedings alone.
Among the reasons the Trump administration gives for these brutal policies is that they are
necessary for “restoring law and order” and “making America safe again.” But the law and order the president seeks to restore does not seem to apply to violations committed by the corporate class, and the threats that America must be made “safe” from apparently do not include pollution, rip-offs and recklessness unleashed by deregulated corporate greed. Enforcement against corporate criminals and regulatory violations, a new Public Citizen report finds, has dramatically plummeted since Trump took office.
Meanwhile, under Trump, agencies that are supposed to protect the public from corporate recklessness and wrongdoing, from the EPA to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), are following the DOJ’s lead, going out of their way to protect corporate offenders.
The longer these policies are in place, the fewer corporate criminals will be held accountable. But we don’t have to wait to see their effects. Public Citizen’s research finds that of the 20 largest civil enforcement cases completed over the past three years, only one was completed under Trump. Meanwhile, another Syracuse University study finds that the DOJ is prosecuting fewer white-collar criminals than it has in 20 years.
White collar crime in big business is why Trumps in office. He’s paying back all those who supported him for president. There’s no one in his administration that is qualified to be there and capable of doing their job. The American voters ( 1/3 of them ) were suckered…………….

This is how he and his fellow criminals, after looting the treasury with the tax cuts for the rich, are further screwing over the American people.
Which makes the numbers under the Trump administration even worse. If prosecution rates/penalties were low under Obama, they've dropped by 50 and 90% under Trump.

So your point is...?
There were a lot more criminals for Obama to go after.
Despite his promises it went unpunished under Obama also and few said a word. Once again, I will note, when you ignore your guy doing something wrong, it will only become worse with the next guy.
Yep, plus look at the CIA and FBI, back in the 1970s and 80s, using money from cocaine trafficking to fund various projects, training the contras was one of them, yet they were never punished or held responsible for this.
Same thing going today with the DEA, how they aid and abet the drug cartels (ensuring drug laws are as tough as they can be, targeting any competition and using/creating laws to squash them, etc)

Wow. Just wow.
