A front-page headline in the Washington Post the other day declared: “Trump keeps his grip on GOP.” Hardly a scoop. It’s normal for a president to have a firm hold on his own party. And President Trump, an outsider who latched onto the Republican agenda, is no exception.

A couple days later, the Post story in the upper-right-hand corner of Page 1 was heralded this way: “Democrats launch wide Trump probe.” That was putting things mildly. Half a dozen House committees with Democrats in charge are investigating Trump, his administration, family, appointees, political affairs, businesses, lifestyle, and various antics.
