Well, at least Sarkozy tried keeping it under the rug. And did more or less disappear from the stage because of how extremely unpopular he was (making any type of "political comeback" somewhat unfeasible).

Unlike someone else who is engaging in extreme corruption and is trampling the constitution of his country completely in the open and will likely never face any repercussions.

Maybe... if someone did prosecute him this whole thing could have been avoided?

"Corruption" is a term for proles. It's better understood as a political word that loosely translates to "what my opponent does." If you think only one party's members are guilty of technical crimes, then we are on different planets.

If you're talking about Orange Man Bad then he was, in fact, prosecuted, and it was a political own-goal by the Dems. Complete and total waste of time and resources for short-term political gains that never actually materialized. And it discredited the institution of impeachment forever. Well done.

I assume the whole concept of the rule of law is also meaningless to you? Blatantly abusing your office for personal gain entirely in the open while violating a bunch of laws in the process (that nobody is willing or capable of enforcing for that that matter..) is corruption. Silly demagoguery won't change that.

> If you think only one party's members are guilty of technical crimes

Never said or implied that. No clue what you mean by "technical crimes" either.
