Fruits Of Crime (Or, Just Fruits)

By Baxter

As the country digests the scanty revelations of the DOJ's redacted affidavit behind the search at Mar-a-Lago comes this news: that a mysterious imposter named Inna Yashchyshyn gained access to Trump's club by posing as a member of the famed banking de Rothschild family.

In truth, she was not who she pretended to be, and we're all wondering just into whose hands all those classified documents fell. That and, of course, what Lindsey Graham knows. (Here he is, pictured above with Donald and the Russian spy.) Lady Lindsey, you are a world of trouble — and not just because Georgia's Fani Willis is after you for election fraud. Lawyer up, girlfriend.

Lots of jokes to be made about all this, because Benedict Donald and his merry band of traitors are, essentially, clowns. But underneath it all is the deadly serious prospect that the United States has been severely compromised by the perfidy of Trump. We probably won't know the extent of this until long after Trump is dead. But suffice to say for now that the identities of human sources of intelligence have been revealed, our troops have been endangered, and — who knows? — maybe even our nuclear secrets have been shared.

Why? Because nobody trusts Trump to keep this information secret. Either he's given it to Putin, or he's sold it to someone to whom he is less in thrall. Either way, American journalists have tiptoed around these possibilities, and that alone is unfathomable.

Our most sensitive secrets have probably ended up in the lap of Inna Yashchyshyn and worse. Yet it was Trump who said that Hillary Clinton should be in jail, and millions of Americans believed him. If we cats think about that too much, we would never stop hacking up hairballs. So instead, we choose to focus on Merrick Garland bringing Trump to justice. The thought of that makes us PURR.
