Yes, but the temptation of big money & power can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s good to support people who promote campaign finance reform & a healthy, independent DA/AG office. 

So then No

The Oct. 9 indictment, for its part, is vague about the allegations that James received rental income from the property. It says only that she reported “thousand(s) of dollars in rents received” for tax purposes.

James’ 2020 tax return reflected $1,350 in rental income, which was paid to cover the cost of utilities, according to ABC News.<<

>>“The problem is there is absolutely no statement ever made by James that she would not rent out the property — the contract language does not prohibit rentals, it prohibits rentals via a third party.”<<
