Quote:Have you seen the movie First Man, about Neil Armstrong? Trump is the Anti-Armstrong. When a problem needs Trump to be quiet, listen and think, he talks louder and longer and makes the least sense. When a problem needs careful attention, Trump is flipping switches at random and yanking the control yoke in an epileptic seizure. The guy isn't a criminal so much as he is nuts, maybe criminally insane describes him. Calmer people, ones that didn't vote for Trump, notice Trump has serious mental problems that started long ago:

Hell, we could even see the RICO act enacted.
Trump has trashed our intelligence agencies, our justice department, the FBI and so on. Can you blame them for wanting to expose Trump as being the crook.

People say you can't charge Trump with obstruction because he is doing it in plan sight. Therefore that must not be his intention. Stupid is not a defense.

Quote:Ross Douthat’s column arguing for the superiority of “25th Amendment remedies” to impeachment for Donald Trump’s various misdeeds is impressive in its ability to actually find something new and interesting to say about the president. But its premise — shared with a David Brooks column from earlier in the week — that we should understand Trump’s behavior as resembling that of a little kid is fundamentally wrong.

“It is a child who blurts out classified information in order to impress distinguished visitors,” Douthat writes. “It is a child who asks the head of the F.B.I. why the rules cannot be suspended for his friend and ally.”
The truth is that Trump is no child. He’s a man who’s learned over the course of a long and rich life that he is free to operate without consequence, a privilege that America grants to the wealthy.
Trump has spent his entire career skating away from lawbreaking with a fine paid here and a political contribution there. He’s an unusual figure, but also very much an exemplar of his era and a product of a decades-long ideological campaign to do as much as possible to empower the wealthy and powerful.

The presidency is not just another office. It has become, for good reasons and bad ones, a seat of semi-monarchical political power, a fixed place on which unimaginable pressures are daily brought to bear, and the final stopping point for decisions that can lead very swiftly to life or death for people the world over.
One does not need to be a Marvel superhero or Nietzschean Übermensch to rise to this responsibility. But one needs some basic attributes:
1) a reasonable level of intellectual curiosity,
2) a certain seriousness of purpose,
3) a basic level of managerial competence,
4) a decent attention span,
5) a functional moral compass,
6) a measure of restraint and self-control.
And if a president is deficient in one or more of them, you can be sure it will be exposed.
Trump is seemingly deficient in them all. Some he perhaps never had, others have presumably atrophied with age. He certainly has political talent — charisma, a raw cunning, an instinct for the jugular, a form of the common touch, a certain creativity that normal politicians lack. He would not have been elected without these qualities. But they are not enough, they cannot fill the void where other, very normal human gifts should be.

Judge excoriates Trump ex-adviser Flynn, delays Russia probe sentencing
At one point, Sullivan asked prosecutors if Flynn could have been charged with treason, although the judge later said he had not been suggesting such a charge was warranted.
“Arguably, you sold your country out,” Sullivan told Flynn. “I’m not hiding my disgust, my disdain for this criminal offense.”

DC Circuit upholds mystery grand jury subpoena
An unnamed corporation owned by a foreign government cannot avoid a grand jury subpoena, according to a court decision on Tuesday.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the subpoena of a mystery witness in a sealed case that earlier this year stirred speculation about possible ties to special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
According to the decision, an unnamed corporation owned by a foreign country, known only in the opinion as "Country A," tried to quash the subpoena, arguing it was immune from criminal proceedings under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and that the subpoena is unenforceable because it would require "the Corporation" to violate "Country A's" domestic law.

Chris Matthews: Trump Jr., Ivanka ‘stand as the next dominoes to fall’
MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Monday that Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump could be "the next dominoes to fall" in special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation.
"The president’s children stand right in the line of Mueller’s investigative progress," Matthews said on "Hardball." "They stand as the next dominoes to fall."
"Therein lies the problem, where earlier Mueller subjects have given [President] Trump up, these two lack the option to do that. They can hardly testify against their father," he continued. "If the prosecutor will not be stopped and the kids will not fall to him, we see the president’s adult children heading to prison."
