Happy Fearful Friday.

Last month I wrote that I would try to finish my draft posts. I pushed hard in late 2019. But now it is 2020, and I will push to finish my drafts this year. It seems like I will have a lot of time indoors to wrap them up. One is a piece about Obama and the Democrats that dates back to 2014. That’s 6 bloody years! But the longer I wait, the easier it gets to write. I just have to be like Jim Sterling. Tackle that big subject. Write it. Finish it.

I have 20 drafts to either finish or post, not including this post. This post is an update about Rudy. I had long suspected that there was opposition research out there on him. So here it is, from 1993, when he ran for mayor against David Dinkins.

Four months ago, Rudy looked like he was in very serious trouble. He was being investigated by the DOJ for foreign agent and possibly other financial crimes. Rudy’s media appearances, from September to December 2019 were incredibly incriminating. But by this month, his imminent indictment seemed to disappear, presumably thanks to the intervention of AG William Barr. Roger Stone will walk. Michael Flynn will walk. And so will Paul Manafort and Rudy Giuliani. Only Michael Cohen will serve his sentence. That’s not just. But that’s life under the iron fist of Donald J. Trump.
