Jones sits squarely in the grifter wing of the GOP. Don’t expect Republicans to police their own. Graft has become a core part of the party’s culture. They treat public office as a path to personal gain. That’s an old story in politics, but the Trump era has pushed it to new extremes.

Unless the relevant DA recuses him or herself from the matter, the AG cannot initiate criminal prosecutions.
