Trump-world in a heap of trouble

Jane Coaston of Vox.com pointed out a single paragraph in a New York Times story by Matt Apuzzo that -- thoughtfully read -- is a shockingly revealing distillation of the breadth and depth of trouble the Trump World is in.

Here's that paragraph, which is from an article about the news of the FBI raid into the offices and home of Trump's personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen.

"The searches open a new front for the Justice Department in its scrutiny of Mr. Trump and his associates.   His longtime lawyer is being investigated in Manhattan; his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is facing scrutiny by prosecutors in Brooklyn;  his campaign chairman is under indictment;  his former national security adviser has pleaded guilty to lying;  and a pair of former campaign aides are cooperating with Mr. Mueller.   Mr. Mueller, meanwhile, wants to interview Mr. Trump about possible obstruction of justice."

Wow.
