#FromRussiaWithLev is a masterpiece, simultaneously uplifting/utterly horrifying. It was like an expert telling you, “Hey, your house is riddled w mold, but we can fix it.” Ew! Glad you took care of that, thx. But when you get up close, inside the wall, see the staggeringly disgusting mold, widespread damage, up close/personal, it’s a smack in the face, leaves you asking how much more there is, can fix it? Have to move? Tear down the house? GAA! It’s real folks, pay attention, fix it. #Maddow

one of the things that I thought about was how Trump and his people hurt so many with their online threats and they never apologize, they never get punished. And when someone tries to hold them accountable they flip it around and threaten those people. Death Treats are not free speech!

What struck me was the grime, the filth, the thugs that worked out of the WH and got away with it.

I don't remember, was the recording that Igor had of Trump saying to get rid of Ukrainian Ambassador Yovanovitch ever released to the public?
That stuck me. The definitiveness in his voice to get rid of her.
Later you saw that others, even the loathsome Sec of State Mike Pompeo, wouldn't fire her. People protected Trump from his worst ACTIONS.
So Trump used social media to attack Vindman & Yovanovitch. He eventually got his way.

I can't remember either. But it was so Mafia, which is what he aspires to be, other than dictator and free from prison

When I hear about what Bill Barr did for Trump (and @emptywheel has lots of examples) I think about how we just learned the role John Roberts played in the immunity decision, & how it protects Trump & Barrs interactions. That's another layer of protection that regular criminals don't always have.
If they can't fix the laws so they no longer break them, like they did with bribes on Citizens United, they fix the courts so they won't be charged for crimes still on the books.
