• (1:33) SPECIAL COMMENT: Manhattan District Attorney’s Office Confirms: Trump has been indicted. Improbably, Hannity sums it up best. And the breadth of reported counts (34?) suggests the range of charges could include really dangerous ones like tax crimes or lying to banks. In confirming he’ll be brought in, Trump makes two outstanding bloopers. Sean Spicer has to announce it on Newsmax. And maybe the most important consideration: Life teaches us that in anything controversial, the toughest thing is to go first. Today it’s twice as easy for Fani Willis or Jack Smith to indict him than it was yesterday afternoon.
• Plus: Just for fun I’ll read you Trump’s 2014 fan letter to me. No — seriously. Talk about a blooper!

“Dear Keith: Your piece on Ted Turner and the lifetime achievement award was fantastic, and you’re right when you say he should get two of them. Keep up the great work! With best wishes, Sincerely, Donald.”
