I share that exact same concern, right?
There was huge outrage when Jim Cummings was indicted.
There was anger when Letitia James was indicted.
There will be a minor furor when John Bolton's indicted.

This is what Trump has done.
It's what he does incredibly well.
He takes the extraordinary, the dangerous, the abnormal, and just makes it feel like a part of our politics.
He wears down the body politic and just changes the way American life is done.
