Will They Get Trump
Two unpleasant facts obtrude from the 37-count federal indictment of President Donald Trump on mishandling classified documents and obstruction of justice.
First, and most importantly for American justice, the indictment is nakedly political. Whatever the charges’ merit, they are part of the Deep State’s eight-year-long crusade to destroy Trump, a crusade that began even before he prevailed in the 2016 GOP primaries. The Russia Collusion Hoax. The two impeachments. Now this. The Deep State’s pursuit of Trump makes Ahab’s sea-hunt for Moby Dick look sane.
Second, Trump could lose this one. Perhaps the only thing between him and a federal prison cell is a GOP president in 2024 — perhaps Trump himself — who pardons him. Trump is in trouble mostly because he still hasn’t learned to keep his mouth shut. After eight years in boiling water because of imprudent or intemperate remarks, one would think a man of his intelligence would have learned not to do or say certain things. You know, like flash classified documents in front of a reporter. Or tell an attorney to withhold documents from government investigators.
