Wholly improper, wholly unethical, and he's gonna lose the case.
Has Trump committed crimes?
Yes, mostly they're tax crimes.
He has cheated on taxes his whole career, as far as I could tell.
He could easily be indicted for state and federal taxes, but they're not as sexy.
And I think that he's become a target by ambitious politicians, ambitious prosecutors.
He has gotten some sympathy, which he doesn't deserve.
And a lot of it is, pardon the phrase, political correctness.
The better people are not supposed to be Trumpers.
I had an interesting experience about Trump.
I had two interesting experiences.
The more recent one was I was in the house of Lawrence Summers, the former president of Harvard, who was driven out by political correctness, by the way.
He insulted women biologists.
I was in his house when he was still president of Harvard when the Trump-Hillary Clinton contest took place.
And I was with Elsa.
We were invited to Summer's house in Brookline.
And it looked like Hillary was gonna win.
And the Harvard faculty members, they were all celebrating.
They were all figuring out what their cabinet positions were gonna be, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then about 11.30 at night, all of a sudden it was announced that in terms of electoral votes, Trump had just eked out a victory, that Hillary beat him in the popular vote, but he had won the electoral college.
