A thing which, years ago, had been the eagerest hope of many, many good citizens of the town, and now it had come at last

 

Something had happened. A thing which, years ago, had been the eagerest hope of many, many good citizens of the town, and now it had come at last; George Amberson Minafer had got his comeuppance. He got it three times filled, and running over. But those who had so longed for it were not there to see it, and they never knew it. Those who were still living had forgotten all about it and all about him.

These words from the closing monologue of the Magnificent Ambersons keep coming back to me in relation to Donald Trump... The committee has handed it's four recommendations to prosecutors, there are rumblings that someone might be prosecuted for what happened in Georgia soon, there's the secret papers thing, there's the Stormy Daniels thing ... Surely a comeuppance is coming but will it take so long that none of those who want it will still be around to see it?  

Of course prosecutors have to decide what has the best chance of success... So most likely if there is a charge it will be the most simple and boring.  Only in "Law & Order" does the DA actually "enjoy a challenge".  Never-the-less we are clearly in the end game now and if there isn't some kind of charge before April I'd be very surprised....
