It's Gone But Not Forgotten

 

Consider this: Trump never expected that he wouldn’t be able to corrupt more people in the government. 

He expected to work, as he had all his life, with crooks and people he could corrupt. It didn’t quite go as he’d liked. He got the boot from more than 80,000,000. 

There were those who were corruptible, of course. He found plenty of willing minions. Bill Barr is but one in a very long list of despicable agents of and accomplices to Trump’s criminality. Thankfully, however, there were those he encountered who did not succumb to the his corrupting influence. In addition, Barr chose to reject Trump’s fantasy about the election and resigned limp-wrested protest, so even the corruptible Bill Barr had limits. 

In Georgia, neither the Governor, nor the Secretary of State nor the Election officials would  be lured into illegal waters in order to ‘find more votes’ to flip the presidential election. They had suppressed the vote and had striven to disenfranchise millions within the state of Georgia, in this and previous elections (ask Stacy Abrams, ahem...) but they would not cross that line of legality for 'the Donald'. Their lapses in democratic zeal to serve their white, male privilege was one thing; a failure of ethics. Breaking the law to serve the psychotic ego of the President was something completely other. Indeed, they went so far as to record an incriminating phone call from Trump to protect themselves from his corrupting influence. 

Moreover, of the judges which Mitch had railroaded onto the benches - Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Comy-Barrett are but three of the two hundred and forty-five judicial appointments by the Orange Turdling - none, NONE!, would bend to Trump’s will and rule in favor of any of his law suits regarding the 2020 election.

He whinged and pouted openly about how ‘his’ Supreme Court refused to rule in his favor. 
Boo-hoo. 

His MAGA-crew and the more ammosexual Vanilla ISIS variants such as the ‘Proud Boys’(snigger) and the ‘Oath Keepers’ (gack) were willing to toss morality and legality to the wind by assaulting the Capitol, threatening Congress members and even the Veep, himself during the insurrection; Trump’s imbecilic end game but they achieved only their own arrest and temporary toilet in which to deposit their more erudite offerings.

Imagine the calamity if some of the less corruptible (e.g. Kelly, McMasters, Priebus, Rex, etc) had been more corruptible.
