Welcome to the Big Top. Hope you enjoyed the opening act. Remember, though, there are three rings to this circus. So far, we’ve just gotten the clown car. Donald Trump should know that the lions are coming.
It is only natural that all eyes this week were on state criminal court in lower Manhattan, where Trump was arraigned on the indictment brought by Alvin Bragg. There is no point belaboring the record with the sundry flaws in those charges (see, e.g., here, here, here, and here). So unabashedly political was this leveraging of law-enforcement power against the Democrats’ archnemesis that even progressive commentators have misgivings.
