I keep saying: states are going to have to step up their prosecutions, especially for white collar offenses. They can't rely on the feds to protect their residents.

First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?
