So when does trouble become TROUBLE?

 

Read in the Washington Post:

Trump faces new danger in DOJ’s surprise subpoena of Pat Cipollone

Some pieces to consider:
"As political scientist Jonathan Bernstein argues, the hearings have effectively driven home to journalists, civil society and even some GOP elites that Trump and his allies arrayed themselves in direct, hostile opposition to democracy and the rule of law. That makes it harder for Trump propagandists to cast efforts at accountability as mere partisan showdowns between equivalently motivated political parties."

And this:
" “Cipollone obviously thought many of Trump’s schemes were illegal or risked criminal liability,” Goodman told me. “The Justice Department can get from Cipollone what he told Trump directly and how Trump responded. That is likely to be damning evidence.

I underlined that last part.  Let's hope.
