I'm surprised that for quite a while he was considered a legal genius, up to his mayoral stint. Was he always like this or has it been something related to age/hubris/lead poisoning?
He was very much always like this. It's pretty well documented.
I dunno. I saw a document about prosecutors and feds learning how to use rico when it was still new. He seemed really cogent in his interview. I think there might have been a time when he was pretty sharp. Now his mind is melted by age and ever-more-insane politics on the right. I think he’s also a well-known alcoholic, and not in the fun party way… the all the time way.
His eyes were very red in his mugshot. He was either very drunk or very hung over.
Why not both!
I think that having cogent statements about a thing he was well prepared for is not mutually exclusive with being an addled idiot in other areas of his life.
He's had too much koolade and thought he could get away with more and more based on the force of his personality. We are watching it bite him in the ass in real time.
The right gave him attention and he capitalized on it.
He always had a bit of a nasty authoritarian streak, but he used to be a bit better at practicing law. Now he’s just flailing like a fool.
The long arm of ferret lovers finally moved to checkmate.
