The investigation must be kept airtight. Anything less than perfection in that regard would undermine its validity in the end.
In the end. That's the only time that matters. Trump will continue to run up the score until that moment arises. He shouldn't, and most well-represented defendants wouldn't, continue to obstruct by throwing synthetic red meat to his base, but he does, and he does often, so the current tally in the game would seem to favor Trump.
But one day will come. And that day will initiate an avalanche of devastation to Trump, to his sons, to his daughter, his son-in-law, his attorney, his former attorney, his campaign chairman, and almost every single member of his entourage. It will ensnare FOX News, Sean Hannity, the NRA, the National Republican Party, and hosts of operatives and agents that we've never heard of.
Yes, we're restless, and the bad guys are winning. They're winning by tarnishing America and its rule of law, and using propaganda to disinform the public about their actions and intentions. It's the lowest form of treason imaginable, probably the most pervasive and damaging treason to ever visit a nation in history. There are tens of millions of people who believe that Justice's middle initial is P, for politics, and nothing they hear or see from law enforcement or our Department of Justice can be trusted when the target is a Republican. Their minds have been polluted and they won't be coming back to reality for a long, long time. But justice isn't a popularity contest. There are facts, there is evidence, there are allegations, there are proffers of proof. There are convictions. There is no call-in show that follows the official adjudication that allows for a vote of the American people to confirm a conviction.
By the time the crimes are revealed to the American people, and we are finally apprised of the length and breadth of the offenses, I'm not so sure the Republicans in Congress will remain in full support of Trump. I have no faith in them whatsoever, but I think all of us undervalue the immensity of the treasons that are about to be unveiled. Never underestimate the suckerpunch of monumental surprise.
