>I am not a fan of corruption but it's undeniable that he played whatever cards he had in life and played them hard.

His parents were a Diplomat and a Businessman and he graduated with 2 engineering degrees from Berkeley. So we should be lauding him for winning a game of poker when he was dealt a Full House? Lol



To stick to with the poker analogy, the measure success is not if you win the hand when you flop a full house, but how big a pot you walk away with. Anybody can walk away with the initial stakes in that situation, the real skill is to use that hand to walk away with all the money at the table.

Lots of people start life with a lot more than he was given and walk away with a lot less.


He was arrested and charged with ~30 felonies and plead guilty to 1 in a plea deal and was due to spend over a year in federal prison. So what exactly did he win?


So what exactly did he win?

Rich friends, a presidential pardon and no doubt a rich and easy life going forwards.
