I don't think it's a tragedy. I do think it was preventable, but when you elect someone whose lifetime record is one of lawlessness, it's not actually a shock when they continue to commit crimes. The difference is that this time the crimes are actionable in a federal court instead of being civil matters or things that can be handled by, for example, paying a large fine and shutting down your charity or your scammy university or going to the oligarchs for money when banks will no longer deal with you.
Seriously, the Claude Rains line from Casablanca is really all I have here.
Anyway, it will be a fundraising bonanza for the former president, so I guess that's a win for him.
