Junior and His Father (Godfather)

AN EDITED VERSION OF THIS POST APPEARED IN LETTERS TO THE RECORD, A BERGEN COUNTY NEWSPAPER

Donald Trump is a corrupt being, without moral underpinning. From the godfather comes an implicit directive to those in his command to do and say whatever is required to obtain and maintain power. It is like watching Chris Christie and his underlings but on steroids.
 
And like Bridgegate, there is now a growing body of evidence of those who have twisted the law into pretzels in their zeal to give an offering to their leader.
 
Will the Donald Jr. imbroglio lead to the President's demise? Will this be another Watergate or merely a bad traffic tie-up for the elder Mr. Trump?
 
As the President loves to hyperbolize, so we now jump head long into a pile of words like collusion and indictment. We are in a frenzy to replace "lock her up" with "lock them up" as a kind of retribution for the terrible wrong committed by these malevolent mobsters upon this nation.

 
But wherever this may lead, we must see the forest and not merely the trees. Donald Trump, each and every day by his statements and his provocations, has his fingerprints on all that transpires under his command. 
 
Whether or not Junior delineated book and page of the Russian connection to daddy, we know that offering Hillary's head on a platter was what the godfather demanded, no questions asked.
