Settlement happens all the time with or without agreeing to fault/guilt. It costs a lot of money to prosecute or defend a lawsuit. In many cases involving money, the lawyers are the only ones with a profit. So, people weigh the costs and settle if defending is more costly.
You keep blaming Trump personally for any actions committed by anyone in his employ. Yes, generally the head of the organization sets the tone but employees are not required to break the law to follow the spirit of the advice. If their employer tells them to break the law, they should resign and be vocal about it. I'm not sure we have any cases of that happening. If laws were broken, they were broken by employees by choice due to over exuberance or perhaps ignorance.
Is Biden responsible for the crimes being committed by his subordinates? Only in cases where he orders them to break laws such as his specific instructions to not enforce our borders (north or south). It is the responsibility of the Executive Branch to ENFORCE the laws of the land. They don't get to choose which laws to enforce just as you don't get to choose which laws to obey. When the Executive Branch chooses which laws to enforce and which to ignore, it is the responsibility of Congress to come down on them like a hammer. Or, maybe be convinced that the law is bad or unenforceable, in which case it should be cancelled or replaced. Congress has failed us miserably in this context and so has the Supreme Court. The point of the three branches are checks and balances. When one branch exceeds its authority, the other two need to reign it in. Or, at least that was the intention of the Constitution.
Is Trump responsible for employees of the FBI who committed crimes by lying to the FISA court and hiding the existence of the HB laptop? He most certainly never told his FBI or DOJ employees to lie. They did it of their own volition. They didn't actually get punished though. We had a "show" settlement with a hand slap. The actual perpetrators of the crimes got away with it.
Trump's problem is that he says the "quiet" things. These are the thoughts that run through your mind constantly but normally your filter stops them from coming out of your mouth. Instead of persecuting him for this, you should rejoice because while Trump was President, it was probably the only time in modern history where we actually knew what the President actually thought about most things. Not only did these "quiet" things come out of his mouth, they also came out on Twitter. His penchant for name calling makes him look like an 8 year old school yard bully. However, it seemed to have the effect of keeping "strongmen" around the world from stepping out. Now they are rolling over Biden who is as weak and compromised as it comes. Even the left is withdrawing their support. They somehow have to deal with the problem of "Harris" because she can't be on the ticket as the Presidential candidate. The Dems can't possibly manufacture enough bogus votes to make it seem like she beat Trump.
I don't know anyone who agrees with every one of Trump's positions. In fact, there are three things that I will NEVER forgive him for. But, none of this should rise to hatred but it does and hence we have TDS. So, Trump is alive and well and living in your head
And even though he failed us in several cases, it wasn't for greed as it is for Biden, so I will vote for him again in 2024. I trust that he knows his mistakes and will change his strategy for draining the swamp.
