This week in the saga

The week the saga has been walking toward for a year. It opens at 1:43 in the morning with a two-word order about a surveillance law — kill it — and closes in a Manhattan courtroom. Saturday night the sky over Israel fills with drones and missiles from Iran, and he posts that it would never have happened on his watch. Sunday night he writes the eve-of-battle letter: four years ago I was President; tomorrow I am a criminal defendant. Monday morning the motorcade turns downtown, and the first criminal trial of a former American president begins with ninety-six jurors filing in — and a father posting that the court may cost him his son's graduation.
