Time to Even the Score Against Trump.

My sister is an attorney with significant experience in criminal law. She also happens to be, like me, a Yellow Dog Democrat. Actually, she’s more partisan than I am, because she has been a poll watcher or canvasser for Obama, Hillary, and Joe.

Yesterday she sent me an email and said that perhaps Trump had a point in saying that he’s been the subject of a witch hunt because, the way she put it, “the others couldn’t have been all that honest.”

When George Washington was President, he formed a private company to build a canal alongside the Potomac Rover so that farm goods could be shipped down to the Chesapeake Bay and thence up and down the East Coast. He also got the Governors of Maryland and Virginia to give this company a complete monopoly over charging tolls for passage through these canals.

The whole scheme collapsed when it turned out to be too expensive to build the canals because the drop through the cataracts on the Potomac River was too deep. But when Martha Washington died and her estate went to probate, she was still holding the company stock.

And everyone on our side has been making such a big deal about Trump trying to build a Moscow hotel?

I happen to agree with my sister’s thought that maybe all the investigations of Trump are more payback noise than anything…
