This has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week (or two) for Trump. Today, especially. Weisselberg pleaded guilty, Rudy pleads the fifth - or drank it, whatever - and today the Grand Jury(ies) are hearing even more testimony. The DoJ has opened the vaults at the National Archives, his lawyers - that are yet unindicted - are testifying to the Grand Jury(ies), and co-conspirators are lining up (or being lined up) to testify against him. Lindsay, Kemp are being made to testify under oath... sigh, what's a nascent autocrat to do?

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
