You know the story…you should, anyway.
The original “Teflon Don”…John Gotti…was finally convicted of crimes against the state because of testimony given by his second-in-command Sammy “The Bull” Gravano. Gravano turned on him after hearing tapes of Gotti dissing him left and right that were the product of…admittedly low-tech at the time…surveillance tapes that the F.B.I. got of Gotti talking openly in some Mafia widow’s apartment above his Gravenite Social Club headquarters in Manhattan’s Little Italy.
Things have gotten much more…technologically…complicated since the early 1990s pursuit of John Gotti, but the system remains the same.
As above, so below.
The bad guys hide; the…supposed…good guys pursue.
Trump is the new “Teflon Don.” He resembles John Gotti in so many ways!!! His expensiveky tailored…barely concealing his portulent, McDonald’s/overcooked red meat with ketchup and fries-fed girth…his ego-driven, verbal flatulence, his total belief in his own God-given ability to avoid retribution, reliance for his popular support on a portion of the American social structure that is basically a gene-sunken idiocracy…
It’s all there, quite clearly perceivable to all but the most totally mind-dead U.S.-ians.
The question remains…who will turn on him ? Out of all of his camp followers…who will be his Sammy Gravano/John Dean?
I cannot wait to find out!!!
Stay tuned.
We’ll know shortly.
Bet on it.
Later…

the historical parallel that I’ve had in mind is Mark Felt, who (in BooMan’s words)
We all remember where that went.
Like everything else with Trump this will be a self-inflicted wound. Firing Comey, in addition to any other repercussions, creates exactly such a pool of FBI insiders who might end up having a grudge against Trump.
IIRC the long list of potential candidates included a couple of top Bureau guys but the short list that leaked has been all politicians. If Congress lets them parachute in an amateur those two would not be the only ones pissed off.
And Trump’s enemies list grows longer and longer with every day.
One of them has to know something solid.
