Well it was only fitting that all this DOJ procrastination would result in another bit of “slip-slidin’ away”. Even if he doesn’t pay them, he has enough legal advice to keep punching away, looking for the elusive loophole. And like any sports enthusiast knows, if you let the other team hang around they will likely end up handing it to you.

It’s worse than we thought and we thought it was pretty bad. A special master, approved, signed, sealed and delivered by the cleverly placed jurist. And there are many such placements throughout the country’s judiciary, causing one to imagine all sorts of trickery, buffoonery and flat out law bending, breaking activities.

And while we don’t yet know who will be appointed special master and what the special master’s duties will be, we do know that this is a stall. The kind of maneuver attorneys play to buy time while they search for a winning strategy. But let’s be real here. They have already won in many ways. He has sullied the election process. He has claimed martyrdom and achieved it. He has potentially jeopardized our national security by disclosing top secret information. And he has proven that he can indeed shoot somebody in the middle of Time Square and not lose a single vote.

Like a cancerous cyst on the collective ovary that has been appropriated by the government as if it exists independent of the owner, this thing will continue to grow until all viable, healthy tissue is destroyed. And yet, we dally as if time has no meaning. It is sickening and terminal and drives us to desperation.

The longer we let them hang around, the greater the chance we will get it handed to us. In Vegas, there is no substitution for winning. And if you’re a loser, the city can be cruel.
