The administration seems to be pro-crime, which is very problematic.

This is just more than a little fucked up... I think we've "limited" liability way too much in terms of corporations... it's the investors that are meant to be protected, executives and board members are not meant to be immune. And I do think in the worst cases, the death penalty should be on the table.

edit: to be clear, IMO, corporate power is an expression of govt power, which should be minimized.
