Big Journalism has always treated the corruption that permeates Trump world as a not very interesting story.
Why? Because it has become routine, and one thing we know about journalism is that it normalizes everything Trump does if he does it repeatedly and brazenly. It's no longer "news" in the way they define the word.
That's why the craft barely noticed the bribes he's gotten from foreign interests and govts.

"Trump’s main tactic was never to bury his offenses, but to flaunt them. He covered his big crimes with smaller crimes, and covered his smaller crimes with scandals, and in the process attempted to destroy the very notion of truth." #SarahKendzior
