But to many observers on social media, that’s exactly what the Fulton County district attorney was doing.

Writer E. Jean Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a Manhattan department store in a lawsuit, and a jury found him liable for sexual abuse. A judge this month rejected Trump’s defamation counterclaim, saying Carroll’s insistence in a post-verdict TV interview that Trump raped her was “substantially true.”

“Mr. Trump did in fact ’rape’ Ms. Carroll as that term commonly is used and understood in contacts outside of the New York Penal Law,” Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in tossing Trump’s suit.

Remember, white collar crime is the most costly form of crime in America. Not just financially but also socially. There's a strong argument that if all white collar crime was eliminated, the majority of blue collar crime would stop.

That’s an interesting argument. Do you have any articles or papers that support it available?

For starters, wage theft is the largest dollar amount of theft in the US and that would improve some of the lowest paid workers lives if resolved.

I don’t know about all, but it would certainly alleviate the financial stress of some.
