Closing take

The pattern on May 30 was familiar by then: the Trump operation kept trying to bulldoze through rules, norms, and facts, and the response kept being more scrutiny, more filings, more blowback. That is not just noise; it is the cost of running a political machine that treats compliance like a suggestion and accountability like an insult.
