    I don’t want to give off the impression that I doubt that he is corrupt. Rather, this is so blatantly over-the-top corrupt that I’m just morbidly curious about what kind of twisted narrative he has in his head to make him the hero of his own story. You’re right that entitlement is for sure it, but that is a summation. I’m wondering if he ever in his head put his actions into words and what those words might have been. It’s a pretty useless question that I will never get the answer to unless his legal defense does something absolutely hilarious.

      what kind of twisted narrative

      I don’t see people like him that way. I see them as devoid of ethics and morality. They’re just takers. I think the majority of powerful people in DC are that way. They’re just more canny and clever so they don’t hoard cash and gold bars in their closets.
