WASHINGTON As we contemplate crime and punishment in the Trump circle, it should be noted that our Russia-besotted president does share some traits with Dostoyevskys spiraling protagonist, Rodion Raskolnikov.
...
One has been called Americas straightest arrow. One disdains self-promotion and avoids the press. One married his sweetheart from school days. One was a decorated Marine in Vietnam. One counts patience, humility and honesty as the virtues he lives by and likes to say Youre only as good as your word.
...
A White House adviser told me recently about how scary Muellers dream team is, and how Jared Kushner should be nervous. Every time Mueller adds a legal celebrity to his crew, the music gets cued for an Oceans Eleven or Dirty Dozen array of talent. One lawyer helped destroy the New York City mafia; another helped bring down Nixon; another tackled Enron; others are experts on foreign bribery and witness-flipping. As GQs Jay Willis wrote, If these people were coming for you over a parking ticket, youd be thinking about liquidating your life savings.
...
On Thursday, the president pout-tweeted that it was Congresss fault that our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. So he was blaming lawmakers who punished Russia for a cyberattack on our election rather than blaming Russia for sticking a saber in the heart of our democracy.
Hustle, Bobby Three Sticks.
