What a week!

Does anyone remember a week like this one in US Politics, ever?

* The President's former Lawyer is sentenced to 3 years in jail, and documents on his various misdeeds implicate the President in at least one Federal Crime.

* Media gains a copy of the Moscow Tower Deal Letter of Intent which was supposed to have been signed by The President's ex-Lawyer according to his current one. Turns out it was signed by The President himself.

* The President's current Lawyer suggests that the Moscow Tower Deal might still have been on the table as late as November 2016.

* The President's former NSA is pretty much told he'd likely to go to jail if he proceeds with sentencing for his crimes, and elects to keep in cooperating for a 3-month delay.

* The President's charity is force to dissolve with its assets being given to court approved charities and the prosecutors in the case looking to have the President and his family banned from running any non-profit for a period of 10 years!

* The President's ally and friend, Rodger Stone is coming under investigation

* The President's Inauguration Committee is announced to be under investigation for fraud and accepting foreign money in pay to play schemes.

* Acting AG announces that he will not recuse himself after the DoJ Ethics Committee recommends that he does so.

* It is revealed that the nominated AG sent a memo to the President stating that the Muller Investigation should not be investigating the President for Obstruction of Justice.

* The President declares that he would be proud to shut down the Government over his wall.

* The President backs down and says he'll sign a bill to keep the Government open.

* The President, under pressure from Fox news, Flips back to his original shut down the government stance.

* The President, against advice of his advisers, the Republican Senate members, and the Pentagon, decides unilaterally to pull out of Syria abandoning US Allies there just days after his own administration says it isn't going to happen.

* The Sec of Defense resigns releasing a letter of resignation outlining his views on national defense and the importance of allies, and then stating that since his own views and the Presidents were so different that he had to step aside.

* Hours after President Putin suggests that the US leave Afghanistan, The President announces that he is pulling many of the troops from Afghanistan.

* The Dow Jones had its worst week in 10 years, dropping nearly 1500 point, in 5 days!


Can you imagine if any one of these things had occurred under one of the last five Presidents, let alone all of them in the space of a week!
