Donald Trump and his cronies have found themselves under so much legal scrutiny recently that sometimes it can be hard to keep track of what new or newly revealed investigation is underway against which former Trump aide.

While the investigations and possible prosecutions are a welcome change from the culture of impunity that the American elite largely enjoys, they aren’t a panacea. With little or no change in the conditions that allowed Trump to gain popularity in the first place, there’s no reason to think that he and his followers will go away. Trump and Trumpism will only be finally defeated politically, not judicially.

Trump’s most recent round of legal troubles started when the FBI executed a search warrant on his estate in Florida, where they say they found a significant number of classified documents Trump improperly took with him and stored in unsecured locations after he left office.
