A little paranoia a good thing. You never know when people are out to get you. And, let’s be honest: there are folks inside and outside the government committed to finding a way to set aside the results of the 2016 presidential election. So far those efforts have fallen flat. The latest gambit—canning Trump over Ukrainian aid—resembles a nothing-burger without a bun.
