Cyrus Vance

What Wikipedia will not tell you: In his time as Manhattan district attorney, Vance dropped a fraud case against Donald Trump junior and Ivanka Trump for undisclosed reasons. They had been illegally funneling campaign donations through the Trump family lawyer. If Vance had done his job and brought Don jr. and Ivanka to justice for defrauding investors in Trump SoHo, it could have ended Trump's presidential campaign in 2016. Instead, Ivanka went on to become such a strong campaign surrogate for Donald J. Trump that voters actually fell for her and started to believe her and fell for her speech at the Republican National Convention where she sounded like a democrat.
