I was on an Amtrak train with no Wi-Fi yesterday, so I wasn’t able to post a summary of Keith Olbermann’s podcast until now. So tonight’s post will have twice the damage.

- SPECIAL COMMENT: It’s just guess but I think Trump is TERRIFIED that his “Property Manager” Carlos De Oliveira is about to flip. Trump freaked out again last night about Jack Smith and the documents and Hilary emails and Biden documents and the Special Counsel covering the Biden documents review — and without provocation from any known developments — and the LAST time he did that I told you “SOMETHING is going on at the Grand Jury but I’ll be damned if I know what” and hours later there was a superseding indictment on the documents so with that context let me say it again: SOMETHING is going on at the Grand Jury because Trump may not have MANY human traits but he is really good on exhibiting cause and effect. And this freakout may have something to do with either or both of two developments. At 10:30 this morning, at the James Lawrence King Federal Justice Building in Miami, Courtroom 5, before Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres, we will see present himself for his first appearance who else but Trump’s newest co-defendant, his Mar-a-Lago “Property Manager” Carlos De Oliveira: the guy who gave us THE money quote, so far, of the destruction of evidence and obstruction case, “The boss wants the server deleted.”
- And if the Trump freak out doesn’t owe to THAT indictment hearing, and the prospect that not everybody is as dumb as Walt Nauta, and that a YEAR ago Trump wasn’t sure De Oliveira wasn’t the kind of guy who’d flip, then it’s the fact that CLEARLY Trump’s Mar-a-Lago I-T Guy Yuscil Taveras already flipped.

- POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: The Trump stochastic terrorist who hunted Barack Obama moves to be released from jail, and we have a SCOTUS problem: Sam Alito isn’t just corrupt, he’s gone crazy.
- IN SPORTS: Max Scherzer, Jordan Hicks, others traded as baseball’s deal deadline looms. But what the GM of the New York Mets said AFTER he traded Scherzer kind of paints himself and his owner into a corner in which they have to sign Shohei Ohtani.
- THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Ron DeSantis’s pro-slavery campaign costs Orlando $4.6 million. NJ Congressman Christopher Smith wants to scuttle the World HIV/AIDS program over a conspiracy theory. And Musk reinstates Kanye West.

- THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I made a flub on D-Day which reminded me of the day the president of MSNBC staked everything on covering the 60th Anniversary OF D-Day — and major news broke which he tried to avoid running in order to protect his dream!

But it’s good news for John McCain!
(A bit of McCain trivia: I was at Sky Harbor Airport today, and I noticed that Terminal 3 was named after John S. McCain III, i.e., the Senator himself. Since he has a son (named John S. McCain IV, of course), I wonder whether they’ll name Terminal 4 after him.)
I don’t know whether I’d rather have that complete set, or the set of NFCs.
- is not necessarily time-sensitive, it sure is funny if he already knew from his attorneys that the indictments are coming this week, and instead of just revealing it like he did last time, he’s milking it this way, in order to feed the fascists’ story line that the entire prosecution of Trump is being made up as they go along, and in a matter of hours, for one reason only.
Whew! That was a long sentence! Probably longer than the one that Trump will get, sadly ...
- Namely — as Trump also posted last night — “in order to kill the news cycle!!!"
- Also: Why does Trump treat his cultists like idiots? Because they’re idiots. New polling: 91 percent of Republicans who trust Fox News don’t believe he has committed any real crime, and 85 percent of them say Republicans have to support him regardless. And there is a guess or a theory or a thesis beginning to form that Trump is cash-poor, has been drained by the failure of Trump Social, and his ability to pay for those lawyers AND this campaign may be severely constrained — and it’s all because of Elon Musk!

And that wasn’t even the worse thing he did during the incident: He started cursing at a group of high school Senate pages, when they ... started taking pictures of the Rotunda ceiling.
