Such nice people
What sticks in my mind about Charles Kushner, Trump's nominee to be ambassador to France, is that he targeted a brother-in-law who was cooperating with authorities in the criminal case against him, hiring a prostitute to seduce him so he could be intimidated into silence. His sister's husband.

That’s the quote. I was looking for it. And here it is. Hannah Arendt on the Matt Gaetz as AG announcement
'This process includes the replacement of all first-rate talents, regardless of their political loyalties, with crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is the best guarantee of their loyalty.' (The Origins of Totalitarianism, renewed version, A Harvest Book New York, 1976, 339)
