Popok: They didn't tell him in advance they were going to dismiss the indictment, which explains why a very fiery Donald Trump sat at his desk in the last 24 hours and said, "Jeanine Pirro folded like a cheap umbrella." Takes one to know one.

In 1996, Congress imposed fines on undocumented immigrants. For 30 years, the government did not enforce those laws, and they were basically irrelevant. Enter Trump, and the US government is now fining dishwashers and delivery drivers more than rich friends of the President who stole billions.
