Two Good Lists

I like articles that present an accounting of Donald Trump's many crimes and transgressions, so I was pleased to see two of them appear in recent days.

First up at the Washington Post, a good piece (link here) is titled "A guide to 20 inquiries Trump and his allies are working to impede." The President may not succeed with stopping any or many of these, but he's doing his damndest to delay them as long as possible.

Richard Nixon tried tricks like these but they only lasted so long. If Trump thinks he can nudge some of these out to beyond the 2020 election, he's setting himself up for a disappointment.

At the New York Times, they put together a piece (link here) titled "Tracking 29 Investigations Related to Trump." Ten of those are federal criminal investigations, eight of them are state, with some also being criminal investigations, and eleven are congressional investigations, any and all of which could lead to further criminal investigations involving Trump.

The bottom line -- Trump likes to fool his followers into thinking he's out of the woods now that the Mueller Report has been released. The reality of the situation, however, is entirely different.
