An avalanche of new revelations about his abuses of power, blatant lies about the election and fraudulent business conduct has put Donald Trump one step closer to being indicted, a fate that now seems inevitable.
Over the last several days, the wall of accountability has closed on Trump at a stunning speed. Just consider what has taken place in less than a week:
(1) House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 insurrection Trump incited. (2) Details in new books about Trump’s egregious misconduct in office underscore the depth of his autocratic threat. (3) A stunning report revealed that former Attorney General William Barr thought his voter fraud claims were “bull—,” shattering Trump’s voter fraud lies. (4) A GOP-led report into Trump’s delusional claims of a stolen election in Michigan turned up nothing. (5) Trump’s chief propagandist of voter fraud, Rudy Giuliani, got his law license suspended over his election falsehoods. (6) And, perhaps most seriously for Trump, the ex-President’s lawyers met prosecutors on Monday in a last-ditch effort to stave off criminal charges possibly targeting the Trump Organization and its namesake’s longtime financial guru, Allen Weisselberg.
The convergence of dangers facing Trump would usually be sufficient to doom any presidential legacy and rupture any hopes of a political comeback in 2024. Yet the question is now what it always has been: Will a twice-impeached fraudulent former President who has always avoided accountability by distorting the truth and ignoring shame finally pay a price for any of it?

It appears that this time, Trump won’t escape justice, and his behavior is a good indicator that he knows it.
Fresh evidence of Trump’s incandescent state of mind as his lawyers met with prosecutors from the Manhattan district attorney’s office in an effort to persuade them not to pursue charges for alleged financial crimes by the company.
In a raging tantrum, Trump claimed the team was “rude, nasty, and totally biased” against him, claimed they were trying to destroy him and the “Make America Great Again” movement and were radical leftists who were a disgrace to the nation.
The madman no longer has his social media accounts and cannot propagate his fury without the help of retweets and conservative media appearances. But his statement was a taste of the vitriol sure to flow from his camp when charges are brought against his organization.
