What would be an example of such criminal charges being brought by this administration? Is there a case that stands out as clear retaliation?

Edited to add: I can think of the mortgage fraud cases being discussed/brought against some high-profile people, but can’t think of any corporate world leadership being charged.

Saying no today also means you can say yes tomorrow. Then you are a hero, a dealmaker, as opposed to the "weak" who never put up a fight. This is schoolyard rules.

Yes! Everybody goose-step in unison as to not irk the administration? /s

People should behave more like the invertebrates we are and show some semblance of a spine. Now most have more semblance with snails and jellyfish. Yes they will survive but only because there are so many of them.

Especially one where, realistically, the banana in chief might be put back in his box (crate?) sometime next year. Like, his approval rating is now actually _lower_ than at the same time in his first term, and in his first term the midterms didn't exactly go great for him.

It's particularly awkward to be in the position of having to complement the emperor on his new clothes when the emperor has a limited shelf life.

I wasn't thinking of this administration necessarily. There's been cases going back to IIRC the early 00s, for instance Joseph Nacchio.
