Fair enough. The purpose, I would say, is to make him and his party vulnerable on the corporate ethics issue, which happens to be a hot thing right now. I'd say that's what I said in different words. And politics is politics. A certain person who shall remain unnamed claimed this was really all just in sport and we certainly wouldn't want an impeachment or to weaken the President when there is a war on, now would we? That was the context of my remarks. The idea of the current administration cracking the whip on corporate ethics really does have an element of the fox guarding the chicken coop about it. But it would be a departure from tradition not to do that, Steven! :-) After all, the first SEC head was Joe Kennedy who was a stock manipulator in the '20s. The Republican prattle about morality does make them just a wee bit more vulnerable, though. The sanctimonious are always more vulnerable. Fair enough. You should keep your eyes on your money with both parties. They both want to steal it, just in different ways for different reasons.
