In our current system, the only defenses against corruption:

- Standards and norms, which obviously the current administration doesn't give a rat's ass about

- Failing that, Congress has to step in and impeach and convict. This won't happen because the Republicans have completely rolled over

So, here we are.

If there are no paths to retroactively investigating and clawing back every last penny, this just leads to taxpayers giving up paying taxes eventually. What’s the point of a fundamentally corrupt system just for the rich and connected?
