But expect Trump to play dirt as hell with anyone who looks like a promising rival, emulating Putin's tactics. Expect to see more of our best and brightest investigated and accused of "mortgage fraud" and tax evasion or whatever filthy and frivolous allegations his personal DOJ can throw at them.

We'll need to figure out a tactic to deal with Putinesque tactics like those. Maybe there are legal mechanisms in the United States that will make it harder to do this here than in Russia, where it proceeds unencumbered, decade after decade.
