I am trying to imagine what I thought not so long ago was an impossible ending to a former president\u2019s legal difficulty, but which is be. ginning to look entirely possible \u2026 although not yet probable.<\/p>\n

It is that Donald Trump might face a criminal indictment on multiple fronts. For tax fraud. For interfering in a state election. For violating a federal law designed to protect national security. Hmm. I might have missed something, but you get the picture \u2026 yes?<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s business already is under indictment for multiple allegations, including tax fraud; the Manhattan (N.Y.) district attorney\u2019s office alleges that his business inflated the cost of real estate to get sweeter loan deals. No can do, folks.<\/p>\n

The Fulton County (Ga.) district attorney is examining whether Trump broke the law by pressuring the Georgia secretary of state to \u201cfind\u201d enough votes to swing Georgia from the Joe Biden win column to Trump; hey, we have that act on recording.<\/p>\n

The latest might be the most serious of all, in that the National Archives has alleged that Trump spirited classified documents from the White House and stashed them in Mar-a-Lago, Fla., where Donald and Melania Trump live; the Presidential Records Act expressly forbids such thievery of national security documents.<\/p>\n

All told, if Trump is indicted and convicted of these crimes, he faces a lengthy prison term.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t that just rich?<\/p>\n

And I haven\u2019t mentioned \u2014 until this very moment \u2014 the House select panel looking into the 1\/6 insurrection incited by Trump on that terrible day just two weeks before he left office.<\/p>\n

Moreover, we\u2019re beginning to find out that Donald Trump \u2014 who boasted of his fantastic business acumen \u2014 isn\u2019t nearly as rich as he bragged about being. That, folks, doesn\u2019t surprise me in the least. I always have said \u2014 and I have said so here \u2014 that people who are rich and smart don\u2019t boast about it. That the ex-POTUS would keep yapping about his wealth and his smarts only tells me he is neither as rich or as smart as he wants to believe.<\/p>\n

The most maddening aspect of this moron\u2019s trail of idiocy is that he continues to have this weird hold on Republican Party voters\u2019 skulls.<\/p>\n

But \u2026 let\u2019s allow the legal process to play out. I can wait.<\/p>\n
