They have come from far and wide today to see the elephant in New York City. The #Resistance that promised so much from its dawning days, which turned the fever dreams of millions of Donald Trump-hating Americans into a cash machine for books, non-profits and cable news, has come to its apex. They’re actually doing it! They’re indicting the Orange Man. And the people are coming to town to see it.

The #Resistance has come a long way since Chuck Schumer told Rachel Maddow that then-President-elect Trump was ‘being really dumb’ to attack the intelligence community which has ‘six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.’ It has meandered through a series of heroes who fell short time and again. There was James Comey and Robert Mueller and Preet Bharara, there was Michael Avenatti and the Lincoln Project and a litany of Trump turncoats, from Manafort to Cohen to Omarosa.
