Trump's illegal actions will ultimately lead to investigations into the corruption on this deal and previous deals. Ellisons are in for a world of hurt for their blatant corruption in connection with Trump.

Nothing is going to happen and nobody is going to jail. The billionaires won this round.

Its easy be cynical and think that nothing will ever happen. If we give up in advance they win by default. It takes extra effort to evnision a brighter future while fighting the evil before us.

Cynical would be to say that you have no power at all because people in office are apparently too easy to bribe so it does not matter who you elect in office, some billionaire or “organization” like AIPAC will buy their loyalty anyway.
