Call Me Partisan…

But Trump just isn’t keeping me up nights. I mean, I’d be upset about it if Hillary Clinton was the Democratic candidate again. Actually, even then… The four trials is just the start. Trump is the mob boss with absolutely no power to impose omertร  on anyone. I mean, over 30 lawyers have testified in the various investigations already. This is getting as dizzyingly complicated as Watergate, but that never got beyond a Congressional investigation. The closest we’ve come to this situation since Nixon was Iran-Contra, and Poppy Bush shut that down as one of his last Presidential acts. So this situation is unique in many ways, involving two separate states, and two separate federal investigations.

And Trump can no more stop it than he can stop the sunrise.

Is it concerning that there are people who would still vote for Trump? Eh; I knew people who went to their graves convinced (if you’d asked them) that Nixon was railroaded. Even Ted Kennedy finally agreed with Ford’s pardon; but I never have. Life is never so simply Manichaean. There is never a point where “everyone” agrees that justice was done and the “bad guys” were punished. Hell,  no one ever even agrees on who the bad guys were.
