Well... they pulled the trigger and indicted Trump. And it looks serious... or does it? Trump looks bad... but on the other hand, the indictment is always just the prosecutor's version of events. And it doesn't mention exculpatory facts or laws.
The broader context is the selective prosecution: Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden did the same or worse, and lots of people abuse classified info all the time, even former FBI director James Comey. The indictment fails the test of fairness.
We'll also talk about Trump's achievements, and we'll talk about much else besides -- reparations in San Francisco, Pride month controversies in sports, and the launch of Steve Hilton's new post-Fox News project in California.
Special guests:
Alan Dershowitz - civil libertarian, Harvard law scholar, former Trump lawyer
Barak Ravid - Axios correspondent in the Middle East, on Abraham Accords
Richie Greenberg - leader of San Francisco conservatives, on reparations
Steve Hilton - former Fox News host, on his California policy project
Dylan Gwinn - Breitbart News sports editor, on Pride month and the Dodgers

The story of Noah is familiar; the details, less so.
Noah is often seen as an ambivalent figure. He was righteous -- but only for his generation. What was his deficiency?
One answer suggests itself: knowing that the world was about to be flooded, he built an Ark for the animals and for his own family -- but did not try to save anyone else or to convince them to repent and change their ways (the prophet Jonah, later, would share that reluctance).
Abraham, later, would set himself apart by arguing with God -- with the Lord Himself! -- against the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, saying that they should be saved if there were enough righteous people to be found (there were not).
Still, Noah was good enough -- and sometimes, that really is sufficient to save the world. We don't need heroes every time -- just ordinary decency.
Hi all -- as I noted last month, I'm going to be closing down my Locals page, at least for tips and subscriptions -- I may keep the page up and the posts as well, but I'm no longer going to be accepting any kind of payment.
Look for cancelation in the very near future. Thank you for your support!
An interesting weekend -- one of the last of Daylight Savings Time -- in which there is much to celebrate, much to contemplate, and a bit to worry about.
The Gaza peace deal is shaky, but holding, after the living hostages returned; the shutdown is still going on, with no end in sight; the China trade war is heating up; and the confrontation with Venezuela continues to escalate.
The "No Kings" protest was a dud, despite the media's attempt to inflate it. What I find fascinating is that the Democrats have basically stolen the rhetoric and the imagery of the Tea Party protests, circa 2009. They claim they are defending the Constitution -- just like the Tea Party did.
On the one hand, this is good. How wonderful to have a political system in which both sides, bitterly opposed though they are, articulate differences through the Constitution -- and not, as in so many other countries, outside it.
On the other, this is sheer hypocrisy for the Democrats. Not only did they malign the Tea Party as ...
