Jesus Christ. I learned that before I was through my second year of university.

The beneficiaries cannot distinguish the appearance of corruption from actual corruption. They both look identical from outside the corrupt acts. Hence, any fiduciary relationship effectively ends at the appearance of corruption in the same sense corruption ends the relationship.

You can't go to jail for the appearance of corruption, of course, and Democrats tend to use very weak standards like that.

He sort of has a point. Office holders should do their best to avoid even the appearance of corruption. Else risk the threat of investigations. However, it is a bit over the top to claim it is the same as corruption. Especially in the light of his support of an administration that was steeped in actual corruption.
