Are you a party to a crime if you receive goods (anything of value – including information) that you know are stolen, and you use them for profit?
Are you a party to a crime if you encourage the theft of property so that you can obtain that property to your benefit, even though you didn’t do the deed?
Does encouraging the theft of property, so that you can obtain that property to your benefit, create a black market for the continued criminal acquisition of similar property in the future?
Do you bare any criminal or civil culpability for the commission of a criminal act if you are a business or person with power, wealth, and fame, who is economically and/or politically positioned (or even thought to be so positioned) to benefit another entity and person, and you suggest to another entity or person that if they commit a criminal act, they will be in your good graces – and so they do, in fact, commit that criminal act?
Are you a party to a crime if you are a government official who holds a high political office (such as President of the United States) and you encourage entities or persons over whom you have persuasive authority, to violate criminal and civil laws – and then they do so?
Are you corrupt and party to a crime if you are a government official who is politically positioned to benefit another entity or person (or even thought to be so positioned) to prevent the application of the law to that entity or person, and you suggest or demonstrate to that entity or person that if they commit a criminal act they will be in your good graces and you will assure that they will not face legal consequences for their actions?
Are you corrupt and a party to a legal violation if you are a government official who is politically positioned to take adverse action against an entity or person (or even thought to be so positioned), and you suggest to that entity or person that if they do not do something, or do not refrain from doing something that the entity or person is legally obligated to do (or are supposed to do or not do), you will take adverse action against them, and rather than comply with their legal obligation, they give into your pressure out of fear of retaliation?
Have you abused your power if you are a government official who is politically positioned to take adverse action against an entity or person (or even one thought to be so positioned), and you suggest to that entity or person that if they do not do something, or do not refrain from doing something that the entity or person is legally obligated to do, or is supposed to do or not do, you will take adverse action against them, so they ignore you and thereby comply with their legal obligation, and you do retaliate against them?
President Trump, personally or through his agents, is guilty of all this and probably more.
