Yesterday, I learned from The Daily Beast that PBS has completed and is airing an episode of its “American Masters” series about Dr. Fauci. My recollection is that most of those have been about people in the arts; if so, I find this noteworthy. It was first aired Monday, but could be aired again or available on Passport.

Democratic Underground (bigtree) – No one should minimize the anticipated arrest of this former president for lesser crimes
Quote – There’s no precedent to the former leader of the U.S. facing criminal prosecution which will likely include felony charges. Trump will also be the first major presidential candidate under indictment seeking office…. Manhattan prosecutors are also deliberating whether to charge Trump with falsifying business records in the first degree for falsifying a record with the intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal another crime, which in this case could be a violation of campaign finance laws. That is a Class E felony and carries a sentence of a minimum of one year and as much as four years. [emphasis mine]

Colorado Public Radio – She marched with Dr. King, and her work for civil rights marches on to this day
Quote – When Minister Glenda Strong Robinson of Longmont skipped class in 1968 to march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., there were many things that she couldn’t have foreseen: That the Memphis sanitation workers’ strike she was supporting would become iconic in civil rights history. That Dr. King would be assassinated within days. And that 55 years later, she would receive a lifetime achievement award in his honor.

Democratic Underground (Baked Potato) – Drug Enforcement 
Agency (DEA) Finds A Tunnel From Mar-A-Lago to Palm Beach Airport
Quote – Described by DEA spokesperson Rollie Wokenshire as “… a rather robust tunnel system, comprising a light railroad, incandescent lighting, great air conditioning, and cutouts with a latrine and multiple dining areas… this tunnel had it all, including a decadent gold-tone livery on the main engine, enclosed in wreaths, marked ‘John Baron Express’.” … Trump’s current TV lawyer, Jim Quessadilla, recently bloviating on MSNBC stated, “President Trump would never travel by rail, end of @#&% story.”
