  1. Pay close attention folks, because this is how democracies die. "Donald Trump’s presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we’d be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent more than twenty years studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang—in a revolution or military coup—but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms. The good news is that there are several exit ramps on the road to authoritarianism. The bad news is that, by electing Trump, we have already passed the first one."

  2. Whitaker seems like the type of person that's willing to tarnish his name and future career,  for an undeserving con-man like Trump. Some people never learn from other people's mistake. Trump has clearly conned Whitaker into helping him obstruct justice. And this is what Trump does. He will you use you to help advance his his own unethical, criminal, amoral, and self-serving goals. And once you've outlived your usefulness, or you have simply failed to deliver on the things he desperately needs to survive, you will find yourself being ridiculed by him, and being tossed under a bus.  If you want to know what happens to people who cozy up to Trump, look no further than Sessions, Cohen, Manafort, Gates, Reince Priebus, Spicer,  Hope Hicks,  Flynn, Bannon, Papadopoulos, Mooch,...whew. I'm exhausted. Did I leave anyone out?
