QOTD: Religious Cult And Crime Family

“You have to think of the Trump phenomenon as a religious cult surrounding an organized crime family. But at the outer perimeters people are starting to melt away. And Michael Cohen’s departure is a signal moment in the evolution of the Trump phenomenon. He is the innermost sycophant to break ranks.” (our emphasis) -- the terrific Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), as quoted in Michelle Goldberg's latest excellent op-ed in today's New York Times.

That's why the letters from the House Judiciary Committee requesting documents from 81 Trump associates is so monumental, and should cause more melting of the layers surrounding the most corrupt, unbalanced and unfit person ever to serve in the Oval Office.
