Decisions

The number of potential scandals threatening to engulf the Trump administration range from the sublime, obstruction of justice to the ridiculous, overcharging Trump charity events for access to golf courses.  Of course, it all comes down to the man at the center of the maelstrom.  Coming from the sewer that is the New York real estate business, I guess Cheeto Jesus figured Washington was just a provincial town where the local rubes would be blinded by NY style and he could continue business as usual.  After all, doesn't everyone in Washington work for the President?  The FBI director should drop investigations unwanted by his boss.  If he won't do it, some other flunky should intervene on behalf of the chief executive and as another authoritarian, Henry the Eighth once put it concerning Thomas Moore, "won't someone rid me of this priest".  Unfortunately fro tRump, but fortuitously for the rest of us, James Comey, who is no Thomas Moore, will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday and probably put the republican party in the unenviable position of making excuses for a president who should be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors".  Part of the misdemeanor charges could be the Trump Organization charges to the Eric Trump Foundation for access to a Trump golf course in Westchester for an outing to benefit St. Judes Children's Research Hospital.  Expert's agree there is no way Trump's spawn's foundation should have been charged $322,000 for a one day outing.  Self dealing anyone?  It seems if there are not at least a couple of blockbuster stories regarding political or monetary misdeeds attributable to this administration every day, it is an anomalous news day.  The danger is this becoming the new normal.
