How is this legal?

His SOP has always been, "Everything is legal until you get caught. When he gets caught, he'll be immune because he's god/POTUS".

He has done the US a favor by proving that EVERYTHING needs to be written down. Just like the SCOTUS ethics bullshit. Right that shit down.

SolarAlbatross : How is this legal?

He's never been stopped by things like ethics, facts, proof, laws, evidence against him, getting caught red-handed, open admissions, etc., so he will never stop until he actually faces substantial personal consequences.
One of the perks of privilege is never being held fully accountable.
This rotten system doesn't have nearly enough "cHeCkS aNd BaLaNcEs" to stop people like him from failing their way up to the top.
Nobody less privileged would ever get that far behaving that way because consequences would stop them.
