1. There hasn't been much emphasis on the fact that there is a

Actual real life l criminal investigation in progress about this.

Honest to god that bastard is in deep shit right now and going on Fox news pleading his case is a stupid tactic.

2. Not to mention that the "arguments" he uses in his "defense" are laughably insane

There are people who think that this clown is fit to lead the country?? He proved himself to be an international embarrassment - and now we know the depths of his criminality!

3. For two years he basked in the glory of the Obama good govt

Hangover that couldn't have possibly withstood much more of the bad decisions and policy he was pushing. As things inevitably went he was confronted with a pandemic that left the bastad with his BVDs twisted around his ankles. He was proven to be weak feckless pathetic broken.He is reduced to pleading his laughable case to Hannity using his annoying Fred Flintstone making excuses to Wilma for fucking up tone

4. You're certainly right - but he's incapable of realizing how deeply he's in trouble now

He's always had someone or something to bail him out. What he needs to do right now is just shut up! If he had decent representation, they'd tell him that - but then we know that he thinks he's "smarter" than anybody and refuses to listen. Hopefully, this will be his downfall, but I am so sick of still hearing from and about him. Back in 2016, I couldn't wait for the campaign to be over so we'd never have to hear from him again!

5. 'sick of still hearing from' trump. Yes. You're right. Certainly. However, . . .

trump is more useful, than ever, in his stubborness, in exposing the deep corruption of the republicon party.

Great week from the judicial branch. Similiar to the way the judicial branch came through in 2020.

Cautionary note. When trump goes down, some poitical momentum goes down, - across the whole political spectrum. This is the lesson of Watergate. Complacency, factions, business as usual . . . loom.

6. You're right, since he's always managed to get away with so much over the years

He does tend to shoot his mouth off with no thought to the possible consequences. During the beginning of his term, the NYT did a record long exposé of his history of tax evasion - using documents that Mary Trump had access to through her lawyer's office. Yet there were no repercussions.

But this is different, he's compromised national security (along with additional illegal business practices in New York and election interference in Georgia), yet continues to dig himself in deeper on national TV. But after what we've heard even in the last day, his lawyers should be considering an insanity plea!

And you're right, we failed to learn the lessons of Watergate. But the Founding Fathers - or Gerald Ford - never anticipated TFG. None of us did.

7. I love the set backdrop "BUT HER EMAILS"

Hilarious!
