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.

One Stop Summary

Jon Chait has a nice summary of how the Ukraine scandal represents all of Trump's many sins. It shows how Trump's predilection for small-time mobsterism has bled into his presidency. It also notes how he sees lawyers.  Giuliani and Barr are perfect lawyers for him.  It reminds me of this scene in Breaking Bad:


Trump found his criminal lawyers.  And they have infected the Judicial Department.
