Another Guiness Book First: Trump's Charged with 68 Felony Counts with More to Come

Trump has just set another Guiness Book world record after adding 37 more felony counts (including the Espionage Act violation) in Federal Court in Miami to his running total.

After being charged with 31 felony counts in Manhattan Trump broke into the Guiness Book of Records after being the first US president to be indicted and charged with felonies.

While this latest group of felonies continues to shatter political norms, the tabulation isn't over yet. How many charges will he add after being indicted in Georgia for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election?

Let's not forget the other federal investigation into Trump's coup attempt on Jan.6th. That'll certainly add more charges.

Will Trump top 100 felonies? It wouldn't hurt to check the betting parlors and see what the odds are of that happening. It's possible.

In a post -Trump America anything can happen. He may hit the century mark for corruption and still not go to jail. 

You heard that right. Our government is under siege from MAGA lawmakers in Congress and cowardly Republicans ready to burn the Constitution while silently letting Trump trample on our judicial system.

Without a doubt Trump's legacy of deconstructing the administrative state and stacking of federal judiciary with conservative and often unqualified ideologues will be registered in the Political Hall of Infamy and Shame forever.

It's a mystery why the Republican Party is still hitched to the Trump train even as it careens off the rails. I think it's more than trying to keep his base under the GOP tent, however. I think that those spineless Republicans in Congress are AFRAID of what Trump will do to them personally.

Trump is a vindictive bully. That's why I found it interesting that during the document case arraignment Trump did his absolute best not to meet eyes with Jack Smith's steady stare throughout the proceedings.

He slumped his shoulders and held his head down, or turned the other way, rather than look at the eyes of a man he's personally threatened (and his wife). The "bully" slunk out of the courthouse after the proceedings.

More felony charges are inevitable. We'll have to see what the final total is as he continues to collect them like trophies.

As it stands, people are talking about this "historic moment" of indicting a former president for multiple crimes and some are going to the betting parlors to see if they can cash in on Trump.
