All Trumped Up

"Death and destruction."  That's what Donald Trump promised from his supporters if he gets indicted.  

And even though he has three or four potential indictments awaiting, he singled out Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (below), investigating a case involving hush money to a porn star to cover up Trump's affair with her, by calling him a "degenerate" and a "psychopath" for even thinking of indicting him. 

Soon after Trump's social media eruption promising death and destruction, Bragg started getting threatening letters, including one laced with anthrax-like powder that proved to be just talcum powder.

Meanwhile, in Washington, special prosecutor Jack Smith successfully compelled Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran (above) to testify against Trump on the Mar-a-Lago documents case.  Corcoran, the son of a Republican three-term U.S. Representative from Illinois, did so mainly under protest, having cited the attorney-client privilege issues, but the judge dismissed that due to prima facie evidence that Trump committed a crime.  Smith hopes to wrap up the document case early and possibly recommend to Attorney General Merrick Garland that Trump be prosecuted for withholding government documents at Mar-a-Lago.  But because of the Biden and Pence document cases - you know about them, I won't repeat them - Garland, also known as Hamlet on the Potomac, may decide not to prosecute Trump to avoid apparences of favoritism toward Biden on the documents issue and then will likely choose not to prosecute Biden or Pence - both under investigations of their own - as well.   

I'm getting tired of all this . . .
