As Noah observes, Donald Trump Jr. is acting as if there could be no consequences for behavior that just reeks of the same sort of ethical morass that made the Biden family notorious. That attitude has been a major theme of the second Trump term, which has produced scandals that would have landed like the Hiroshima bomb on past presidential administrations.
How is the Trump circle so tone-deaf? Partly, this is the impunity produced by proving repeatedly that the Republican voting base these days will punish apostasy from Trump far more harshly than corruption, with the result that the current Republican-run Congress is even less inclined than the usual Congress to investigate a president of its own party.
