Michelle Goldberg in NYT on what we can hope from further investigations...
Given the polarization in our politics, there’s no reason to expect the coming hearings to change many minds. What they can do, potentially, is put the question of Trump’s criminality at the center of political life, just as the Watergate hearings did with Nixon. They can create a narrative that even a reality TV impresario can’t control.

“You have to think of the Trump phenomenon as a religious cult surrounding an organized crime family,” said Raskin. “But at the outer perimeters people are starting to melt away. And Michael Cohen’s departure is a signal moment in the evolution of the Trump phenomenon. He is the innermost sycophant to break ranks.” Soon America will be tuning in to find out who’s next.
I know, me neither, wife watches Housewives shows and drives me batshit crazy...She says it's her escapism and I can buy that, just still grates...
I really think T is feeling the pincer grips tightening, he's strategizing an exit strategy
@Madken65 i hope they take away his passport lol
@Madken65 i think "reality" TV has a lot to answer for, in general. I have never understood the phenomenon of it- and i hope it dies a terrible death when Trump goes. I know she is not saying this- i am just adding my 2 cents. I think SDNY has the ability to put Trump behind bars for life- and i hope it happens. I am not sure what proof Mueller can bring to bear- as i understand it, things he learns thru intelligence channels have to corroborated outside of IC info that can't be used in public
