It is power, greed or other factors?

We have a president who has lied his way through life and now he has the raging right wingers who thinks he is the real deal. Now we have a head football coach at a major college who is involved in a assistant coach and a spousal abuse case with the assistant coach's ex-wife. Instead of coming out with the truth, they blame someone else. I'm a truck driver that make way less than what the coaches make. If I lie to my boss or blamed someone else, I would lose my job. So, my point is, if you don't tell the truth? It will catch up to you in the end! The mess they have at Ohio State University, is not a one off thing. There have been many other colleges which cover up issues that are deemed inappropriate behavior and the college or university looks the other way. It need to stop! I like my college football and other sports, but no one, no coach, or player is bigger the the sport. That goes for our government too.

Also the fact that he gave the Nation away to Putin for a bunch of fake emails.

to have to answer questions. With info overload...people will forget and likely not to research or hear the truth. It's like Rove's tactics only in steriods.
