Donald Trump publicly appears to be planning an election crime spree, even worse than the conspiracy he was indicted for running to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, and that is the most important story of this year.”

Lawrence O’Donnell: "The New York Daily News says, quote, it is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious. The Trump administration is essentially acting as a massive criminal enterprise. It lies, steals, extorts, and murders all while cloaked in the awesome authority of the state.
It is on a crime spree that puts Al Capone to shame."

But that constitution is now the only shield we have against the most powerful criminal syndicate in history."

"But viewing the Trump administration as a massive crime syndicate allows us to be clear-eyed about what is coming down the road, and to plan accordingly. To take the most urgent example, there ought to be no question as to whether Trump will try to steal the midterm elections. Of course he will try to steal them. Criminals gonna crime."
