I, too, value Dr. Litman’s judgment and writing, but, continuing the theme in a recent response to Dr. Richardson’s “Letters from an American,” what makes anyone believe that there will be an election on 2028, or an inauguration in 2029? Assuming age leaves tRUmp as President-Emeritus and Vance or Musk as President ((although the latter does not meet Constitutionally required eligibility - a status already overturned by tRUmp, as an the insurrectionist (see 14th Amendment, Section 3) imminent return to office)).
He should never be pardoned! He’s a criminal many times over and its humiliating that this excuse for a human ever got elu. He carries on like a 2 year old child with a temper tantrum every time he doesn’t get his way! It’s disgusting! Who in the world does he think he is ? God?
and a rose by any other name . . . And a rapist is still a rapist.
The fact that he brags about women not knowing the difference between his wiener and his finger is hilarious and itself.
Excepting, that the Courts must force e’djt🖕🏽man, register as the pervert that he is women around him must be warned of him wherever he goes nationally and in the internationally, legally 🙀
A woman’s body belongs only to herself and not to a rapist👁️🔔👁️
I for one am so very tired of this child man. Who does he think he is? He’s just not that special at all considering all his crimes he’s got a nerve to be out there expecting to be exonerated of crimes that he actually did commit! That arrogance is par for the course with him, he thinks what ever he does because he did it it isn’t a crime. What kind of thinking is that? It’s insane, no one else would think their crimes aren’t crimes because they are so special that makes them not crimes! That’s crazy! His narcissism is completely out of control and the Supreme Court has allowed this!
I have long held that for too long McConnell has been the most dangerous person in government. He has presided over the destruction of the GQP and has been joined by others as the great poisoner and defiler of the legislative branch. Gingrich bears nearly responsibility.
I couldn't agree with you more. There's something sinister about these folks on the right that has just puzzled me for the last 30 years. I think it's a combination of monetary greed, the need for power, racial prejudices, and deceit, that have led to a "Trump" becoming the false idolic savior of the country. He's nothing more than a dangerous pitchman selling a poisonous elixir.
I love his meltdowns. Just shows how his mental state is further declining. Hard to believe there are still lawyers who will debase themselves by representing him.
I can see him in his chair in the Oval Office, playing flub-a-flub-a-flub-a with his lower lip while his co-conspirators wipe off the drool and make the decisions he's incapable of making.
Then, in a rare lucid moment, he'll open his eyes and stare blankly into space, murmuring, "I was a really great ... a really great president, wasn't I, Daddy? And the people really, really loved me, really lov... real ... "
I almost cannot believe that a president who tried to overthrow the government after losing an election in order to stay in power and who absconded the WH with a massive cache of classified documents, which he refused to return, is going to avoid serious penalty.
Is the law really this toothless in the face of money and power? Deplorable.
I’m beginning to think, because of the gross interventions of a couple of foreign-born money / power hoarders who were lucky enough to strike it big in the US, this election was rigged in favor of the malodorous orange felon.
It's never enough for him. He's a criminal, and you're right, he's had extraordinary luck aka strategic corruption. It's completely insane and makes me sick. LIterally since 11/9, i've been plagued with a severe gastro issue. haha sigh sob.
It's scary to see him get more and more angry and depraved acting! He's already expressed his disdain for and intent to undermine our country and it seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. He needs to be stopped! He should not be inaugurated, hopefully by being imprisoned.
Keep him away from the nuclear codes and the military and we might survive the next 4 years unless his vice president becomes the president and if that happens it'll be a scary crap shoot.
Trump is a foolish old blow heart and the more attention he gets the more he does what he does is make it hard for everyone below him.
His dad tought him that the problem is the FBI knew the type of person he was long before now and they said because he could tell them about the mob so they let him do what he wanted.
Harry- because not prosecuting a sitting, or president elect is not in the constitution, and is only a justice dept precedent, is it fear of an all out civil war preventing the JD from forgetting the precedent as has been done in Roe v Wade? This man has tried to overthrow our democracy, and Merrick Garland has now spent years arresting some conspirators, but mostly looters.This is a reality show that I had hoped would never be picked up for another season.
Trump “continuously aggrieved”—exactly right! That and revenge and grifting are the cornerstones of Trump 2.0. Disappointing that we have to rely on the courts supplying logic and law to confront ranting and tantrums.
Thank you. Please keep us informed. I am sick and terrified that a convicted felon will soon be running the Country. Wish their was a way to stop it. If there is a way to prevent him from taking office, I wish someone was brave enough to take action. No one should be above the law.
This is a brilliantly written piece. Thank you, Harry Litman.

Very valid points. At this time, one can only hope (and do what we can), I guess.
Not that it wouldn’t happen, but it would take complicity of Congress and th courts
The most shocking thing about any of this is Democrats calling on Biden to pardon Trump.
Biden can't pardon him for state crimes anyway. But I agree that he is the perfect example of someone undeserving of any pardons, at any level.
He should never be pardoned! He’s a criminal many times over and its humiliating that this excuse for a human ever got elu. He carries on like a 2 year old child with a temper tantrum every time he doesn’t get his way! It’s disgusting! Who in the world does he think he is ? God?
Afraid he DOES think he is God.
Sociopaths gotta sociopath.
And thunder is really His Godly tantrum.
Elected is what I meant to write! I am so disgusted with his infantile behavior!
And take him out for an ice cream float …
Disgusting, right?!!!
In fact, UNthinkable to those of us who are looking at each other in DISbelief.
Forever and a day …
Sorry☮️and disgusting 💔Creepy, malignant narcissistic sociopathic
F’elon of 34 counts,
and a rose by any other name . . . And a rapist is still a rapist.

The sign of a real fool is that Trump seems to actually believe his own hype. Calling L. Ron to the God-phone.
“When the President does it, that means it is not illegal.”
~ Richard M. Nixon
Like an emergency session of Congress to save the Budget 😎🍏
An immaculate conception …
I wish he would actually blow a gasket...he is nothing more than a loud mouth, ill-mannered bully with the maturity level of a five year old.
If america is fortunate enough, Trump will stoke out over all of this. Good riddance
5 you give him too much credit! He hasn’t an ounce of Dignity it’s as if he grew up in a shed!
Had the courts adhered to the law , there'd be no trump presidency.
McConnel, and his spineless Republican colleagues, could have prevented this in the Impeachment process even before the courts!
I have long held that for too long McConnell has been the most dangerous person in government. He has presided over the destruction of the GQP and has been joined by others as the great poisoner and defiler of the legislative branch. Gingrich bears nearly responsibility.

Absolutely!
McConnell also said that he voted against impeachment and that the courts would handle it. Uh huh. Way to go McConnell. This is also on him!
I love his meltdowns. Just shows how his mental state is further declining. Hard to believe there are still lawyers who will debase themselves by representing him.
Meltdowns—fascinating to watch, degrading to endure.
I can see him in his chair in the Oval Office, playing flub-a-flub-a-flub-a with his lower lip while his co-conspirators wipe off the drool and make the decisions he's incapable of making.
Then it is 25th Amendment time.
Except if he's already in office, that gives us Vance.
Exactly! With Mike "Bible Belting" Johnson only one step away from Vance now as it is.
Pious Mike and JD … one believes he is Gid-chosen; the other, just hopes he’ll be the last one standing.
Then, in a rare lucid moment, he'll open his eyes and stare blankly into space, murmuring, "I was a really great ... a really great president, wasn't I, Daddy? And the people really, really loved me, really lov... real ... "
Oh, daddy—can I borrow the car?
These lawyers for the orange turd better look at his history. Look at what happened to Rudi.
Can have? The ramifications ram now.
I almost cannot believe that a president who tried to overthrow the government after losing an election in order to stay in power and who absconded the WH with a massive cache of classified documents, which he refused to return, is going to avoid serious penalty.

Brilliant and clearly written. Another class in the Harry Litman school of law and common sense.
I would like to say I'm a proud American, but I can't. Disappointed, disillusioned, disgusted and embarrassed is more like it.
It's never enough for him. He's a criminal, and you're right, he's had extraordinary luck aka strategic corruption. It's completely insane and makes me sick. LIterally since 11/9, i've been plagued with a severe gastro issue. haha sigh sob.
Yep. It has been killing me for 9 years. I have decided NOT to have it kill me. I want to stick around
for a lot of reasons, but living PAST TRUMP is one of them.🗽🇺🇲🇺🇦⚖️🗡
I love this.
It's scary to see him get more and more angry and depraved acting! He's already expressed his disdain for and intent to undermine our country and it seems to be getting worse on a daily basis. He needs to be stopped! He should not be inaugurated, hopefully by being imprisoned.

His dad tought him that the problem is the FBI knew the type of person he was long before now and they said because he could tell them about the mob so they let him do what he wanted.
I watch a full story on him and his father.
Sociopath or psychopath?
I’m no expert but the best explanation of the difference I’ve heard is:
Sociopath says “I want what I want, and if others get hurt in getting it, meh”
Psychopath says “I want what I want, and for others to get hurt in me getting it”
Trump = Plague.
Trump also = CANCER

Why not call his meltdowns what they are; i.e. Overgrown Diaperman throws another temper tantrum when he doesn't get his way.
Trump “continuously aggrieved”—exactly right! That and revenge and grifting are the cornerstones of Trump 2.0. Disappointing that we have to rely on the courts supplying logic and law to confront ranting and tantrums.
