The problem with Democrats is that they think Trump firing the Inspector Generals and ignoring the oversight laws makes it impossible to publicly call him a thief when it actually makes it easier.

They keep waiting for the President Police to unseal their indictments and until then it's not fair to call a spade and spade and you have to pretend everything's on the up and up.

Or they rely on like winking suggestions about "raises serious concerns" or whatever. Just act like he's stealing the money because that's the conclusion that any moderately intelligent person would reach with the available evidence (including the fact he's denying you evidence)

You're not a newspaper reporter who has to put "allegedly" in front of "robbed the liquor store" because they guy they caught red handed hasn't been convicted yet. You can just say he's doing what he's doing and act accordingly.

A couple years ago, Trump paid a huge settlement for a class action fraud suit and you're worried about losing a libel suit to him for calling a thief? https://twitter.com/brendanmahoney/status/1248309509803708417
