I have kept this all at a considerable distance, but following Double Conviction Day I decided to educate myself. The most compelling thing I learned in 10 minutes of web surfing: in a 2017 interview a someone "close to the administration" had this to say to the Washington Post:
"The president says, 'This is all just an annoyance. I did nothing...' He is somewhat arrogant about it. But this investigation is a classic Gambino-style roll-up. You have to anticipate this roll-up will reach everyone in this administration."
Huh, I thought - they got his campaign chair, they got his lawyer - not bad. I figured that was about it. Now I get home the CFO of the Trump Organization is singing like Kathie Lee Gifford an an Up With People rally, singing for his freedom, his life, and his family.
Vanity Fair picked up on the Post piece and published this article about Mueller shortly thereafter. Key excerpt:
"Gotti’s lawyer labored hard to make something of the fatuous hypocrisy that secured the government’s case. At one point he gestured to where the 12 jurors were seated and proclaimed that there weren’t enough seats to prop up the corpses of all the men that [star witness Sammy] Gravano had killed. It was a nice bit of theatre, but in the end, when the curtain fell, Gotti was—at last!—found guilty.
"And Robert Mueller, who would go on to head the F.B.I., had discovered the logic that is the unwritten precept in any treatise on the art of the deal: winning is better than losing. It is ample justification for most any compromise."
Keep smilin' and dialin' Donnie. Talk on. But Mueller comin'.
I am duly satisfied with the completeness of this analysis.
