I think there’s a tendency to frame this as a “Trump’s silly obsessions” sideshow story, but it’s a pretty grotesque corruption story. The administration squandered millions on a no-bid contract to an inexperienced company that botched the job, then indicted innocent people to cover their error.

If it were just a matter of covering up a botched contract that squandered millions of taxpayer dollars, it would already be a scandal. This was a coverup that put hapless tourists through a harrowing legal ordeal and threatened them with prison.
