I'm guessing that most of the people Trump is associated with are not in prison or guilty of federal crimes. I have no idea how that would fit into what you were taught as a child.

Dang, I have associated with some people who wound up doing bad things and even some who went to prison. Some were not the paragons of virtue even when I associated with them. I guess that makes me not innocent--makes me a guilty miscreant unfit for government employment. Somehow, I don't see it that way. For some reason, I feel that I am at least as fit as you to be considered reputable and a contributor to society.
