(21 posts)52. One shallow consideration ...
Set aside justice and the constitution, how will it impact mid-terms? Among my network folks regard for him is evenly split between hero and traitor.

I do not think any political class want him in headlines preceding the mid-terms.

I'd prefer he attempted to take a dash for a country that actually shares his professed values.
