(I heard parts of the referenced Michael Lewis podcast. Good analysis of how rules and norms have changed in our bifurcated/polarized society, from sports to financials to politics. Can add college admissions to the list now, too.)

The corruption is astounding but not surprising. We've become a culture that celebrates fame and fortune; we look the other way when the rich and powerful break the rules (or bend the laws) that everyone else is supposed to follow. Hell, we elected a president whose entire life was built on lies and exploiting legal loopholes, but he was good at manipulating media to create an image. He didn't just dupe the GOP and the voter, but found a bunch of like-minded sycophants to surround and enable him.

Now it's up to congress...but the political calendar is too short for impeachment hearings (which is the only real process left to flush out the truth). I don't hear anything from the Trump administration about a 9/11 type commission aimed at the foreign interference in our elections, or anything about how to beef up cyber security, or instill faith that our next elections won't be tainted by bots and trolls on social media.
