Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Well, This Is Interesting

There is some evidence that Michael Flynn has started cooperating with Robert Mueller.  Flynn has always been the linchpin to the whole sordid Russia story.  I was surprised when Mueller didn't ask for indictments of Flynn when he got the Grand Jury to indict Manafort.  Apparently, he was simply squeezing Flynn, especially with threats to indict Flynn's son.

As a side note, it's very, very unlikely that Mueller concludes his investigations without uncovering a shitload of dirt on Trump.  Trump's business model in NY real estate is crooked as hell.  

What's sad is that we could've been spared the worst president since Andrew Johnson if only we had the legal resources and political desire to prosecute wealthy people for their crimes with the same vigor we go after guys selling dime bags of weed on the corner.

ADDED: It's a pretty good sign that Trump has gotten bad news, if he starts attacking black athletes in his Twitter feed.
