The president did not make even the most cursory public show of respect on Sunday for Mr. McCain, against whom he had continued to indulge a personal grievance even as it was apparent that the Arizona Republican was losing his battle with brain cancer. The president spent much of the day golfing and attacking his usual enemies on Twitter.
I read this morning Trump had the WH flags raised back to full-staff. The man is dead, but he still cannot set aside his petty grievances? c.

The Weisselberg story broke awhile back, he could provide the smoking gun for the whole shebang. Since he was granted immunity, you know he's got some great dirt. c.
From the CNN piece:
At the time, a former Trump Organization employee told CNN that Weisselberg being subpoenaed was the "ultimate nightmare scenario for Trump" because Weisselberg knows "anything and everything" about the finances of the Trump Organization.
yep ya wanna know anything about someone, ask their bookkeeper

family of greedy hate-mongers (and lovely hair stylists : ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump
The development company was incorporated as Elizabeth Trump & Son in 1927, and grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City.<2><3>
On Memorial Day in 1927, the Ku Klux Klan marched in Queens to protest "Native-born Protestant Americans" being "assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City".<18> Fred was one of seven men arrested that day "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so,"<18> as reported in a New York Times article on June 1, 1927. He shared lawyers with the other men, but "it's conceivable that he may have been an innocent bystander, falsely named, or otherwise the victim of mistaken identity during or following a chaotic event."<19> He was "released without charges", but Vice Magazine noted that the KKK had gone through a revival in urban areas after 1915.<20> All seven men arrested were declared to be wearing Klan attire in one source cited in the Vice article, which noted: "While the Long Island Daily Pressdoesn't mention Fred Trump specifically ... the article refers to all of the arrestees as 'berobed marchers.' If Fred Trump, or another one of the attendees, wasn't dressed in a robe at the time, that may have been a reporting error worth correcting."<20> When asked about the issue in September 2015 by The New York Times, Donald Trump, then a candidate for presidency of the United States, denied that his father had been arrested or that he had been in the KKK.<21>
Trump, in my opinion, has been sending out trial balloons for a pardon of Manafort, calling him a "good" and "brave" man and decrying his prosecution and convictions for tax evasion and bank fraud as "sad" and a "disgrace."
Putting aside, for the moment, those convictions: what has this man done in his life that makes him worthy of praise? Seems to me that he spent his life accumulating wealth, which he has earned as a political consultant and lobbyist. He may be very good at those jobs, and there's nothing inherently wrong with pursuing vast amounts of wealth for one's own benefit, but to make him out as if he were some kind of hero/victim/martyr? Remember, this guy, as the New York Times stated in an editorial, "enriched himself by working for some of the world’s most notorious thugs and autocrats, including Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines, Jonas Savimbi in Angola and Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (now called the Democratic Republic of Congo). He helped elect the pro-Kremlin Viktor Yanukovych as president of Ukraine, a job that earned him millions until Mr. Yanukovych was ousted from power in 2014."
Then add this week's convictions to his resume.
Good = Staying loyal to Trump by not cooperating with the prosecution to turn on Trump and cut a deal.
