      Are you talking about the guy that has been office for about 50 years, never did a good thing in his entire career, stole classified documents during his entire career including stealing them out of a SCIF, and had NO authority to have them, is funding Iran, opened the border to let millions of people in with zero vetting? The guy that used his son to funnel millions of dollars of money from foreign governments (China, Ukraine, etc) into his family. THAT guy? I'll pick President Trump over him any day.

    Harry, I have been so stressed over all this. When Trump was calling for riots all over the country if he were indicted, I was terrified. I almost walked right into a mass shooting at the King County Courthouse in Seattle years ago, and threats of violence bring that fear back. Your calm explanations of what's happening have done me more good than you can imagine. You make me feel that there are people who have this under control, that I don't need to panic. I have often told musicians, "I believe that when you love the art, you love the artist as well. I love you." Being a lawyer is not considered an art. However, I love what you do, and I love you for doing it.

    Tick tock tick tock....(we probably shouldn't hit snooze...or we all will lose)
    Here is what I've been saying for months, and even about someone like Trump coming to power as far back as 2011 as it related to a Lecture Series I did on Deitrich Bonhoeffer... So these have been my comments most recently, capturing some of my long-ago comments as well...
    Once indictment and successful prosecution take place, I have to hope that we will be better than Germany was during Hitler's time. I pray there are more conservatives who have read and are aware of the history, who ultimately understand if they allow Trump back in office we will be the 4th Reich, and who will come to our rescue?!... This is what I've said over and over again...about what is next, and how important this moment is in our nation.
    We need more conservatives like Liz. I know she and I would disagree on a number of issues, but on this issue and in a general way such a conservative is who we need in charge of the grand old party...
    Thanks for your report... we need good strong honest conservatives back speaking to the public... Democrats need Republicans, Republicans need Democrats, and both need a few honest independents to keep this democracy thing afloat...
    now a bit of history...ethics...and philosophy...a bit of theology...and etymology (with a bit of humor for good measure)
    For those many in the GOP who still are on the Trump bandwagon, the end does not justify the means...
    (the best for democracy is the ends and the means) the more familiar "end justifies the means" is simplistic and short-sighted. MAGA Trumpians apparently think the likes of Steve Bannon who are anarchists will bring them back into power and security. Well, Neitzche's sister thought the same thing and edited his materials well used by Hitler... We need to read CS Lewis Dymer, and just remember the history, to see how that worked out for them. Here is my take on another earlier comment...on another current revelation re. some of this. a little bit of philosophy -- nominalism... Again ask Hitler how that worked out for him, ask Alex Jones what he thinks of Nietzsche, and again has anyone read CS Lewis's narrative poem Dymer... Kafka the Trial or in German Der Prozeß or Metamorphasis. This is where we are going, if not already there, not a good place and even those who think they want this kind of new power, it's not so new, and in the end, it's not all that it's cracked up to be... Here is my take on all this trumpery (see definition at the end)
    those who blindly follow I would say deserve what they get...where did the conservatives with a backbone go... there are very few who still have anything like a real conservative agenda, just follow the leader, or as Bonhoeffer suggested of Hitler, the "Misleader." I'm glad for today's revelations, ... And I do pray he will come to trial. I do hope he will be prosecuted to the full extent for the crimes committed, but ... and this is a big but, I still stand by what I've said earlier again and again...Even if Trump is put in Jail and serves time, economic and other issues as in Germany at the time of Hitler (runaway inflation, the inability of either side to govern, etc., and so so much more in parallel at present [it only took ten years there])... REMEMBER THIS:
    Hitler was thrown in Jail after his failed Beer Hall Putsch, then in Jail wrote "Mein Kampf," followed by being "democratically" elected. The rest is history, we've been there and done that. The following quote from Metaxas:
    "On January 30, 1933, at noon, Adolf Hitler became the democratically elected chancellor of Germany. The land of Goethe, Schiller, and Bach would now be led by someone who consorted with crazies and criminals, who was often seen carrying a dog whip in public. The Third Reich had begun."
    Metaxas, Eric. Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy (p. 138). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.
    For the following, I can only say boy has conservatism changed since the early days.
    It was George Santayana who, in his Reason in Common Sense, The Life of Reason, Vol. 1, wrote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Santayana's quotation was a slight modification of an Edmund Burke (1729-1797) statement, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." Burke was a British Statesman and Philosopher who is generally viewed as the philosophical founder of modern political conservatism.
    Another reminder from the "Book of Confession" (Presbyterian Church [USA]) introduction to "The Theological Declaration of Barmen", these words:
    "In January 1933, after frustrating years in which no government in Germany was able to solve problems of economic depression and mass unemployment, Adolph Hitler was named chancellor. By playing on people's fear of communism and Bolshevism, he was able to persuade the Parliament to allow him to rule by edict. As he consolidated his power, Hitler abolished all political rights and democratic processes: police could detain persons in prison without a trial, search private dwellings without a warrant, seize property, censor publications, tap telephones, and forbid meetings. He soon outlawed all political parties except his own, smashed labor unions, purged universities, replaced a judicial system with his own "People's Courts," initiated a systematic terrorizing of Jews, and obtained the support of church leaders allied with or sympathetic to the German Christians."

      Thank you for posting this important history. I would just add the caveat that when Hitler went to prison, he was 34 years old. Trump is 77. Nevertheless, your point is well taken as Trump has spawned or brought out of the woodwork many wannabes, and there are those who would perpetuate his agenda.
