    Failing Upward:

    DOVER, Del. (AP) – The head of the division in charge of Delaware’s prisons has left the post in the wake of a fatal inmate riot and hostage taking.

    Department of Correction officials confirmed Friday that Christopher Klein has been replaced as chief of the Bureau of Prisons.

    Klein has been given a new job as deputy principal assistant at the Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security, which is led by Robert Coupe, his former boss at the Department of Correction.

    I’ve been saying for some time now that the Russian meddling in the election is not what Trump has to worry about — financial crimes like money-laundering Russian mob profits are what is likely to do him in, because it’s so obvious that’s what he was doing.

    Josh Marshall thinks so, too:

  4. Correct. It’s not as if people like Manafort, Flynn and Page just fell off the turnip truck. They ran in the same Russian finance circles as the Trumps.
