Did Dem DA Take Trump Payoff?

Federal investigators are looking into the suspicious actions of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. in dropping fraud cases against de facto First Lady and object of her father's lust Ivanka "Complicit" Trump and her corrupt, treasonous brother, greasy Donald Trump Jr. Vance, a Dem and the son of President Carter's Secretary of State, is being investigated for instances of dropping cases involving wealthy individuals who then found a way to contribute to his campaigns. Regarding the Trumps:

"Vance’s office cleared daughter Ivanka Trump and son Donald Trump Jr., who were being looked at for allegedly defrauding Trump SoHo investors and would-be buyers by lying about the number of condos that had been sold. 

In 2012, Vance met with an attorney for the pair, Marc Kasowitz, who had previously given him $25,000. An additional $32,000 was donated after the office declined to prosecute Ivanka and Trump Jr.  Vance returned Kasowitz's first installment prior to the sit-down. He gave back the second sum of cash in October 2017 after he was criticized for not going forward, and for taking the lawyer’s money." (our emphasis)

It's not just the corrupt Trumps that Vance shut the books on. Disgraced producer and sexual assaulter  Harvey Weinstein also was the beneficiary of Vance's apparently slippery approach to law enforcement:

"Manhattan’s top prosecutor came under fire last year after questions surfaced about his office’s 2015 decision not to go after ex-Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein after model Ambra Battilana accused him of groping her breasts in his Tribeca office. 

A lawyer hired by Weinstein at the time had given Vance $24,000 and another attorney sent him $10,000 after the decision to spare the powerful producer an arrest." (our emphasis)

It's bad enough that the Trumpist Republican Party is thoroughly corrupt and rotten to the core. When Dems like Vance appear to be on the take, it's a bad sign that the virus is spreading.
