48. He's one of several I always wonder might be blackmailed.

He was never overly admired for his integrity, but he's one of a number who've astonished those who knew them by seemingly undergoing dramatic personality and behavior changes.

WHY would he be "in thrall to" Trump? Or would it be to agents of Putin, one of our own wannabe kleptocrats, McConnell, whoever? Whatever. This came out and Dershowitz, and others, went to work.

Oh, speaking of others, here're a pair of Lindsay Graham quotes from the announcement of Jaime Harrison, the former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party, that he's running for Graham's seat.

“He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot.” Before election.
“No, I don’t think he’s a xenophobic, race-baiting, religious bigot, ... deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and then some.” After.


Harrison is also a former aide to SC's senior Democratic Rep. James Clyburn.

Go, Harrison!
