Never no bottom

From The New York Times :

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter, who added that any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

The situation has no parallel in American history, as Mr. Trump, a presidential candidate, was pursued by federal law enforcement and eventually won the election, taking over the very government that must now review his claims. It is also the starkest example yet of potential ethical conflicts created by installing the president’s former lawyers atop the Justice Department.
It’s tempting to say that now he's really lost what remains of his mind, but one of these complaints was lodged in late 2023 and one in the summer of 2024.

Years from now someone will write a stage play where (too bad I can't say "men" )somebody speaks like in the Bard's Julies Caesar... "...For the third time he declared an emergency, and all the people in congress went along with it, as all of congress are honourable people."
