1. My disagreement here is I don't think "chaos and dysfunction" of Trump campaign makes it less likely something really bad is at core of Russia story. Quite the opposite.https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/965388848300634113 …

It's a little late in the game for straw man arguments about this from people like him.

I get the skepticism. I too thought in the beginning that Trump simply didn't understand the implications of what he was saying about Russia. Things started to come into focus for me after Flynn was fired, More so after Comey, Don Jr meeting was the end of skepticism.

Rather than a pointillist painting, I think it is fractal in nature: each scandal is massive and complex, but zoom out and it is but a feature of another order-of-magnitude-larger scandal., or zoom in and find each scandal is really a whole series of smaller scandals, and so on.

The "pointillist portrait" is a key point with Trump's approach to corruption. The kinds of criminal enterprises he has interfaced with depend heavily on compartmentalization. People want to connect the dots, but the fact is their proximity to one another *is* the shocker.

When you help crooks clean their money, you can end up helping various criminals who actually have divergent interests. If two thugs share a dry cleaner, they both bring in blood-soaked garments, but they're from separate crime scenes. You can't unify the crimes.

And, remember that Nixon didn’t order the break in, he just covered it up. The case for obstruction against Trump is strong just based on the reporting.

It’s even worse than you indicate (somewhat grudgingly - why?). It was not just a king asking henchmen to do “whatever” - it was a king ARRANGING x, y, and z. We have a pretty good picture of x ... y and z to come. My mama didn’t raise no dummies.
