Closing take

The common thread on February 6 was simple: Trump’s old habit of treating government records and election-day facts like optional suggestions was no longer just a rhetorical problem. It was turning into a document trail, a legal trail, and a credibility trail. That combination tends to age badly for Trumpworld, and it was already doing the work on this day.
