Well we’re in it now

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Heading into this week, we all had a strong sense that it would end up being one of the most pivotal, and frankly ugliest, weeks in American political history. We’re now only halfway through the week, and it’s already turning out to be more pivotal and more ugly than most of us were expecting. We’ve reached a point where things are getting more real by the hour.

We’ve got the House Judiciary Committee voting this morning to hold the Attorney General in contempt of Congress. We’ve got the Attorney General freaking out last night and throwing everything at the wall, in a last ditch attempt at avoiding being held in contempt. We’ve got the Treasury Secretary on the verge of being held in contempt because he’s committing a felony in the name of protecting the President. We’ve got the former White House Counsel about to be held in contempt, because the White House and Congress are giving him conflicting orders.

That’s all before getting to last night’s bombshell confirmation that the President of the United States spent a decade somehow losing a billion dollars, making clear that he’s been a financial fraud for as long as he’s been on the national stage, and creating more reason than ever to believe that he’s currently in deep financial debt to various unscrupulous foreign leaders.

This all comes even as the Special Counsel appointed to investigate the President’s crimes is apparently just a week away from publicly testifying in front of the television cameras about those crimes. For some time now, the stakes have been escalating by the day. Now they’re escalating by the hour. Donald Trump is more on the ropes than he’s ever been. But that only means things are going to get even crazier before this inevitably ends with his eventual downfall.
