I hope that SOMEONE will convict Trump on at least ONE of his many crimes. He is slippery as an eel, and I despair of him ever being locked in a cell where he belongs! Our Attorney General is a big disappointment so far.
The last that I heard, the New York State Attorney General does not feel that he has a prosecutable case against Trump and the Trump Organization.
He has broken laws. He took 15 cases of White House documents, that should have gone to the National Archives, to Florida with him. They contained classified documents to boot. How can he be permitted to run for President again is beyond me!
Thank you for what read to me as a "Special Edition". It was bursting with important news and enough background to slow down the typical rush to end. The Axios link to the International Criminal Court announcement also led to a rich, newsreel-like parade of current stories. Your reminder of ridding ourselves of Fox was also much appreciated. I keep forgetting to do that. In your final thoughts, 'Most importantly, we must never panic, and we must not confuse temporary setbacks with permanent defeat.' I would suggest more calm, which fuels thinking, concentration and planning. I tend to get stuck in one area for too long to the exclusion of needs, such as relaxation, rest, enjoyment, self-care and other worthy pursuits Onward!
Trump is on tape bullying the GA Secretary of State to “find the votes.” Why is this alone not actionable. Ditto the SDNY case. Ditto, Mueller Report, Michael Cohen testimony, Mazars, and so much more.

I have often shared Robert's frustration with Garland. It's like beating a dead horse now.
I have come to the conclusion that there are worse things than having to wear an orange jumpsuit if you are TFG. Being viewed as a financial failure - happening now as the organization begins to collapse - the brand is now toxic, banks won't lend. Big loans are coming due. When the contributions dry up...the asset fire sale will ensue. Mar A Logo will go. Golf clubs and courses will shun him.
And then there will be his reputation as being soft on and friendly with a war criminal. I am being kind. We suspect worse. That will be revealed if true.
The spiral dive for both Putin and TFG are in motion. It's the beginning of the end for both. Hundreds of thousands are in their graves because of these two. Millions are mourning. That is quite a legacy.
TFG will be lower in reputation than Nixon. Closer to Benedict Arnold.

I am relieved to see the findings of the January 6 Committee ready for referral. I am moved by the suffering in Ukraine, and heartened by the response of democracies. I am able to see hope where once I could only see confusion. Thank you, Robert.
Today’s newsletter has spurred me on to ridding our household of FOX News.
We use Verizon Fios and their “Mix and Match 2.0” option, which must be asked for specifically, can change one’s list of channels. Thank you for reinspiring us!
Yes! Biden has done an excellent job under extremely difficult circumstances. Yes! More than a few GOP members of Congress are unhinged and should be booted out of government, but won't be due to weak leadership. Yes! GOP enablers like Tucker Carlson are traitors to their country. Yes! Vladimir Putin is a war criminal and will go down in history as such.
And Yes! Donald Trump committed numerous crimes and belongs in prison. This is no longer a kabuki dance. The evidence is overwhelming. Merrick Garland do your job! (Where is the indictment of Mark Meadows, more than two months after he was referred to the DOJ for prosecution?) Justice delayed is justice denied. All sane Americans are crying out for justice!
What you said, Robert. In a perverse way, Garland’s silence is almost convincing that DOJ is preparing go after T___p; how could he be deaf to what has been revealed? But perfect is the enemy of good enough. Timing is important, and the time is now. Long enough before the mid-terms for an indictment not to seem like only politics to those who would not say that whenever it happens. (That last sentence is one the governor should commute, but I don’t have time to fix it right now.).
Too bad a new Attorney General (a position appointed by the President) would have to be confirmed by the senate. I think this is actually where the problem is. The GOP has Garland in its pocket and Biden can't get rid of him. There sure is a LOT riding on the upcoming elections.
"If our job turns out to be ‘holding the fort’ so that future generations can achieve ultimate victory, that is a noble calling. Do not regret that role. Embrace it."
So many of us have asked how to help the Ukrainians. This link was published today in one of Florida’s papers, but the options are available to you anywhere. Lots of options no matter what your interests are
Robert -- Indeed your words from this past October "have aged very well." That they apply equally to today's political situation is a valid and important point.

Deport Rupert Murdoch, he is the Goebbels of our time, along with the clones who envy his power

Great letter on several points, especially good references
"If our job turns out to be ‘holding the fort’ so that future generations can achieve ultimate victory, that is a noble calling. Do not regret that role. Embrace it."
Definitely worth repeating, Robert! Thank you.
