This week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced a  formal impeachment inquiry of Trump. I’ve always had the sense that when  we were finally on the road to the end of the Trump regime, the weekly  list would ramp up big time. Week 150 has 225 not normal items, 10% more  than any other week — a sign of the bedlam we will face as the truth  slowly drips out, and Trump uses every means possible to distract from  it and remain in power.

The impeachment inquiry, although narrow in  scope, has already turned over and intertwined troubling items from  earlier weekly lists, which like so many in the chaos, were normalized  and forgotten. Although the impeachment inquiry is focused on Trump’s  conversations and actions towards Ukraine, we already have reporting of  similar cover-ups of communications with leaders from Russia and Saudi  Arabia. As the inquiry expands it is also ensnaring others, including  Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, whose repeated efforts  to cover up for Trump are gradually being assembled into a mosaic of  behavior unbefitting his office.

It is remarkable that it took 150 weeks for a  courageous whistleblower to bring Trump’s actions into the light of day,  after all the highly decorated and reputable officials who worked for  the regime at one time or another allowed Trump to operate our  government in the fashion of a mob boss, and left in silence without  speaking out or exposing corruption and criminal activity for the good  of the country.
