      1. Part of the reason people are disappointed in the Rachel Maddow scoop is they desperately want a silver bullet solution. That's a mistake

      2. In German there is a help distinction between a ermattungskreig (a war of exhaustion) & a niederwerfungskreig (a knockout war).

      3. With Trump, we're definitely facing an ermattungskreig, a long hard siege where he has to be hit on all sides, not a one path victory.

      4. Trump's finances are incredibly opaque, especially considering he's president & making decisions that will effect his business.

      5. The more we know about Trump's finances the better. The picture is still filling out.

      6. In the longer run, the way forward is political: hit Trump on unpopular policies & self-dealing, try to win congress for Dems in 2018

          Winning Congress for Dems would be incredibly important. They can do a lot to halt Trump and force him to answer. Get out and vote

          How can we be expected to hit Trump politically if media at large goes hook, line, & sinker for distracting non-political stories?

          7. If you see the struggle against Trump as a siege, then it makes little sense to describe any one battle or tactic as a distraction.

          I think it's also cultural and social, creating institutions and communities and relationships that sustain us thru the siege
