He's not insane. That's whats even scarier. He knows full well with a complicit Senate and the DOJ in his pocket, he can act with impunity. Look at how much he's ratcheting things up.He's fukking insane. And republicans are fukking disgraceful for allowing it.
Because he's insane. He don't give a fukk regardless. He has no concept of ethics and responsibility. Just retaliation and intimidation.He's not insane. That's whats even scarier.

Mike Marando, the fourth and final prosecutor to take Stone to trial, has told a judge he is withdrawing from the case. Marando is notable for his passionate closing argument to the jury at the trial: “Trial matters,” he told them. @kpolantz

They gonna pull some major bullshyt before elections. It's gonna get ugly af.It's sad we all know how this will go. Barr won't testify for oversight and any correspondence to verify Trump hasn't intervened will be tied up and never given over.
GOP enabled this and need to be punished with Trump.
