Veteran 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley reported on Donald Trump’s efforts to strong-arm some of the country’s top law firms into doing his bidding on Sunday night’s episode of the embattled CBS newsmagazine.

Pelley’s segment pulled no punches in describing Trump’s efforts and reminding viewers that Trump is the ā€œfirst felonā€ ever to sit in the Oval Office.

    Jesus Christ. What subject, other than abject flattery, is Trump not sensitive about? No matter what they do, any story that’s based remotely on fact is gonna piss that fragile little man off, so why not just have at him?

      so why not just have at him?

      Money, it’s always money. I’m not sure if it is capitalism in general or American culture specifically but our system rewards greedy people so much that they are essentially all we have left in positions of power. Principled leaders barely exist, just craven pretenders who view power as another means to enrich themselves.
