Here's a real simple rule of thumb regarding all of the Trump scandals...

...assume that the worst possible interpretation of events is the correct one. You will never go wrong if you do this. Don't worry about being called a "conspiracy theorist"; when your country is being ruled by a criminal conspiracy, it is simple common sense to see what's in front of your eyes.

...you're probably right. But the situation in this country right now is so fluid--or, to put it another way, our institutions are so weakened--that I really don't think it's possible to make predictions. Anything seems possible. Many of the greatest events have been totally unforeseen before they happened--World War One, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Fall of Communism. I think it's just possible there might be a major surprise coming to America no one can foresee--and not necessarily a pleasant one...
