Today’s score sheet
In high school, we had regular servings of warmed-over Shakespeare. Different plays, happily, but one recurring element was the cast. I didn’t know these people, and so I spent more time than expected trying to check on character descriptions in the front of the books. The teacher must have thought I was assiduous (look it up if need be).
Knowing that the cast list had value is something I now associate with the unfolding Trump story. The plot is obscure, and I can’t imagine life in the hallway outside the Oval Office, but I’m doing my best to keep track of the players.
Today, a score sheet. You see, the actual sentencing of the perps has started; should speed up over the next few weeks, as we get into hot times in Foggy Bottom (look it up, also, if need be). Here we go. No photos, because I have not and will not ever come face-to-face with any of the principals.

Remember, the Coles Notes might give you more detail, but this is a recent list (this afternoon). Enough to allow political junkies the chance to get through supper. Unless the whole ball of yarn unravels, the weekend will give the interested parties a chance to rest (and flee the country, depending on their level of involvement).
