Ebullition:
- : a sudden violent outburst or display
- : the act, process, or state of boiling or bubbling up [Merriam-Webster]
New one on me. Sounds a bit guttural, doesn’t it? Noted in “Trump sentenced in hush money case, will not face jail or probation,” Shayna Jacobs, Derek Hawkins and Mark Berman, WaPo:
But this ebullition of legal jeopardy eventually faltered and faded. Last summer, U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee in Florida, dismissed the case there that had accused him of mishandling classified materials. After Trump won the presidency in November, special counsel Jack Smith dropped the D.C. case accusing Trump of obstructing the 2020 election. In Georgia, where Trump still faces charges of conspiring to overturn his 2020 electoral loss, an appeals court last month disqualified the prosecutor leading the case, leaving its fate unclear.
