Friday, Trumps lawyers were testify before the Jan 6 grand jury. On Saturday, Trump was talking about ending the Constitution (and by implication, Rule of Law).
A couple of days later, Trump tried to walk that back. When he did that, he revealed what the FBI calls "awareness of guilt".
The problem, with a lot of crime, is proving intent. "The intent makes the crime." It's one of the reasons a lot of Mob bosses go down for tax evasion, it's easier to prove.
But Trump is prosecutor porn...
His tweets have been admissions of guilt for a number of crimes, and shut down potential defense strategies.
He's going to be in court, and like so many Mob bosses before him, the BS isn't going to work. I have maintained for years that the Law would eventually catch up to him. But it was as much hope as anything else. I only half believed it myself.
But here we are, and there he is, and I believe there is a smile slowly inching it's way across my face.
