The Crimes that Aren’t Included in Federal and State Criminal Codes

If you think of crimes as including acts that are intentional, cynical, self-serving, destructive, and harmful to others regardless of whether their perpetrators are subject to prosecution under federal or state statutes, then there are a lot more crimes committed and there are a lot more criminals than one might think. Many of these criminals do a lot more damage than those who are subject to arrest and prosecution for breaking the law.

The prominent Republican politicians and their allies in the media, and, of course, Trump himself, who have been falsely calling the conviction of Trump by a New York State Court jury a “purely a political exercise” and “the weaponization of our justice system, “ and so forth, are committing seerious criminal acts. They won’t go to jail as a result, but an informed populace should vote them out of office and counter the damage they do the first chance they get.
