Speaking of Seth and his excellent summary of the Trump call, I don't think an outrageous

hour-long, rambling, probably criminal phone call is worse than years of conspiracy, corruption, and grifting with foreign countries that Seth has painstakingly described in three excellent recent books.

Reason Meadows/Trump are so desperately brazen about this call? They have committed FAR WORSE crimes (election crimes and otherwise) with FAR WORSE consequences for them and for oligarchs around the world. This is not just about fluffing Trump's monstrous ego.
