In case it's not clear from my freaking out, this G-7 thing is an escalation. It may look from the outside like it's been corruption all along—because it has been—but participating in a contract award to yourself is different by orders of magnitude. This is a red line crossed.

1. I'd like to consider legal responses, but I'm so overwhelmed with Mulvaney's idiocy and Trump's Kurd

sellout/Turkey capitulation, I can't even ponder anything else right now. I hope Shaub will work with Tribe, Katyal and the others working on emolument cases to see what can be done.

2. How many red lines have been crossed?

And what has been done about it?

3. tRump has nothing to lose at this point.

He will continue full speed ahead until he is stopped and I have no idea how that will happen. IMO he believes he will survive this and live happily ever after and at this point I can't prove him wrong.
