> but unusually clean for a president

What's the standard here? Reagan arming Contra rebels by selling arms to Iran?

Or are you comparing to the presidential campaigns for President? Are you claiming that Obama and Romney and Clinton colluded way more with foreign powers?

Or are you comparing with Biden, who profited in no way from his dealings in Ukraine?

If there was a way to indict executive overreach on issues like surveillance and propaganda for example, things that are actually important compared to utterances of certain persons, the numbers would look quite different.

Trump is as guilty of executive overreach, no questions asked, but the criticism is very selective.
