A THIEF'S HAT IS BURNING


There is a Yiddish expression, “auf a ganif brent der hittel” (a thief’s hat is burning). It refers to someone who keeps expressing his innocence because he knows he is guilty. This is what we are seeing with Donald Trump. He keeps repeating “no collusion” which indicates that he is probably guilty of collusion (conspiring with Vladimir Putin to influence the outcome of the 2016 US presidential election). He keeps calling the investigation of Russian meddling into our elections a “witch hunt” because he sees the investigators bearing down on him. It frightens him greatly because he is aware of his guilt and his “hat is burning.”
