The blatant corruption... I feel it in my liver. And I am starting to sweat, already, how the next DOJ handles it. I'm not fully naive. I know a deal worth $2 billion isn't getting unwound, no matter how many felonies it's built out of. But I do worry that there will be something relatively simple, clear-cut, but big, a crime committed by Jared or Eric or any one of the cabinet or the guy himself -- and the next DOJ will not pursue it.

We have slam-dunk evidence, that DOJ might believe, but we also foresee 50 million Americans and half the Congress furiously declaring the prosecution proves we are "weaponized." Fox News whipping up hysteria, calling the whole government illegitimate. Militias arranging riots to free the guy who definitely, definitely did the crime and ordinary voters signing on. So maybe the prosecutorial decision is... put the era behind us. Let these grifters get away with it. Fold on the principle that we have laws, not kings, because somehow there's a pro-king mob out there.

I feel that in my liver and crawling all over my skin.
