So why does he keep ratcheting up the misconduct? — Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? Trump seems to relish and revel in finding ways to outdo himself on the evil and criminal conduct scale. It’s not so much a question of whether he’s doing it, it’s been pretty open and notorious for a few years, and he doesn’t seem…

Not first among equals — You may have heard the term “first among equals.” For instance, orthodox Catholicism for a time considered Peter and his successors (i.e, the popes) Primus inter pares, or first among equals. And for a time, the Roman “consul” was viewed in the same way until the nonsense about the divinity…

Quite a few people are. Let’s talk about that. — I’ll admit that when I saw this term in an article back in February in Politico, I was a little confused. I’d heard the slang term before, but in a context rather different than in that article. I finally got around to following up, though, and thought I’d do a…

Whodunnit Part One: Banks — I believe that just about any large failure typically has multiple contributing factors — that pointing the finger at one event, or one person, is usually short-sighted and just plain not good enough. Take any large failure you can think of. …

But some new reporting about former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis prompted my new favorite, which I made up — Make Attorneys Grovel Aloud. What do you think about…

It’s both simple and complex, simultaneously — I’ve already weighed in on why former Vice President Mike Pence’s challenge to a grand jury subpoena (for testimony and documents) based on the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution will fail. My read on that has been echoed by legal scholars more qualified than I, and so I…

He can wriggle and whine all he wants — it will do nothing more than delay the inevitable — Some were shocked (shocked, I say) to learn that former Vice President Mike Pence had received a grand jury subpoena for testimony and documents courtesy of Special Counsel Jack Smith. I was neither shocked nor surprised, as I’d been expecting such news for some time — and was starting to…

Brand new reporting of an internal research report adds to the evidence — I just read a short MSN summary that adds to the chronology of events I’d given in a late January article, and I need to let you know about it.
