> criminals tend to be from one end of the spectrum

At best, that trait is highly localized.

And compared to (say) "1900's standard" levels of corruption in Democrat-controlled big American cities - Le Pen's crimes were nickle-and-dime stuff.

It’s been 100 years. Can you find something that happened in this century? With people who are alive today?

Rod Blagojevich? Bob Menendez? Eric Adams?

Not saying the left is particularly corrupt, there are examples on all sides.

How about Greece, where the corruption goes all the way to humanitarian and rehab organization?

(BTW, it ain't been 100 years. Mayor Daly Sr. ran Chicago into the 1970's. Mayor Young ran Detroit into the 1990's. Etc.)
