If it is all bullshit, then why not steal Putin's stuff?  You know, just for 
shits and grins.   I guess if people are just demoralized and terrified they 
won't.   

I also appreciate Steve remarks about the consequences of devolving norms in 
Washington.   I can see folks on CNN talk about the same topics day after day 
after day, distributing the same information.   But it isn't until the Southern 
District of New York gives Cohen a sentence out that it is `real' -- ultimately 
an authority is invoked to move on to the next thing.   The possibility that 
hundreds of lies just keep accumulating and the choice is between rationalizing 
and categorizing them or forgetting them is very strange.   Trump is a denial 
of service attack.
