Is this not the largest political funding scandal in quite some time? The amounts and brazen corruption of it all make it understandable that the public doesn't trust Kishida on this issue.

Would you say that the LDP have become complacent after more than 10 years of remaining dominant in the polls no matter what? The Tokyo prosecutors have a reputation for being arbitrary and picking political winners and losers, but in this case they might actually be serving a useful function for Japanese democracy, delivering a much needed message of "let's not get greedy now."
