An Apology to a Dead Friend
What happens to democracy and the rule of law when the alarmists turn out to be right?

Remember 12 JUN 2019. Today was the day a sitting President announced he would accept clandestine help from a hostile power to stay in office.
Translation for the cheap seats: Donald J. Trump, our 45th president, admitted that he is a traitor. On camera.
EXCLUSIVE: Pres. Trump tells
@GStephanopoulos
he wouldn't necessarily alert the FBI if approached by foreign figures with information on his 2020 opponent: "It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it."
