Donald Trump reminds me of Ron Galati. A few years ago, I served on Grand Jury 25 in Philadelphia. My oath prevents me from talking about what happened in the jury room, but much of Ron's path is a matter of public record. (For a story, click here.) He was under investigation for insurance fraud, and as the net closed around him he got crazier and crazier. He started talking about killing people, and eventually one person was shot. Ron got locked up.
In another insurance conspiracy that came before Grand Jury 25, the principal committed suicide with a pistol that he had previously used to threaten other people.
Donald Trump loves to talk Mafia talk. He's a bit of a Mafia wannabe, as was Ron Galati.
It's easy enough to view Trump's behavior - and his language - as comical. I urge you to take it seriously. His orders to get rid of Ambassador Yovanovitch, and now his threat against his chief prosecutor, Adam Schiff, are not jokes.
