If justice and the law in America were truly blind, former president Donald Trump would now be in prison.
Trump's crimes are legion. But contrary to the perpetual fiction and hope-casting in which "The walls are closing in!" and "Trump is done for!" that too many members of the mainstream news media and pundit class keep telling themselves, as seen at the annual gathering of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) last weekend, Trump is publicly announcing that if he recaptures the White House he will command a national revenge tour that will destroy what remains of the country's democracy and civil society.
