Toxic

With all the news last week about Donald Trump, the indictment of GOP Congressman Duncan Hunter didn't receive the attention it should have (details here and here).

Ironically, Hunter was the second member of Congress to endorse Trump back in 2016. A New York congressman was the first, and he was also recently indicted but on entirely different charges. Is anyone seeing a pattern here?

Hunter is making noises about how the "deep state" set him up, it's a witch hunt, and the usual Trumpian nonsense. The reality is that the evidence is overwhelming. Hunter's days are numbered. Expect a news items in a few weeks or months that he's pleaded guilty.

Until he went underground following his indictment, Hunter was one of Trump's biggest chearleaders on Capitol Hill. In hindsight, we see yet another apparent criminal siding with the President.

Trump has become a litmus test -- if you're close to him, you're probably corrupt to one degree or another. In a word, he's toxic.
