The point I’m trying to make is that there’s no longer just one investigation. There’s not two. There are multiple, distinct investigations tied to President Trump and, critically, they are being run either by different jurisdictions or entirely different parts of the Justice Department. There are plenty of paths to the President’s and his family’s undoing even if he manages, through whatever means, to decapitate the Special Counsel Investigation.
Trump’s Widening Gyre of Investigations
It is the most corrupt administration in modern history, and very likely will be the most corrupt administration in American history, when it is all finally uncovered.
I just hope that the political class sets aside its cowardly “we must look forward blah blah blah” bullshit that always lets criminals and their enablers get away with it, because there’s no incentive to keep future criminals and their enablers out of government if they don’t.
Just look at the people who were involved in Watergate and Iran-Contra, who are not in jail where they should be, but are either still in government, or at powerful lobbying outfits, and ask yourself if the world would be a better, safer, less corrupt place if they were in prison where they belong.
If Trump and his co-conspirators are not held accountable, and if we don’t force the Congress to take real, meaningful steps to ensure that they are, we’re going to eventually see someone in the White House or the Senate (they’ll always be in the House, because of Republican gerrymandering) who is just as bad, if not worse, than Trump.
