Hold on to your Twitter feeds… I think a certain someone might actually cause the servers to melt down with the unbridled fury and rage we are about to see.

If Manafort is found guilty today too, the TrumpTweetramPocalypse is going to set off shockwaves that exceed 10 on the Twitterquake Scale (which is logarithmic, not arithmetic.)

I suspect they have pried his phone from his hands and duck taped them to his chair arms, but the longer they manage to delay him and make him pretend to be unruffled the crazier the eventual meltdown, is going to be. And his paranoid megalomania has hit the point and it cannot be delayed more than, my SWAG, four days, absolute max.

ETA: OMFG, he’s got one of his rallies scheduled for tonight.

Hold on folks, not so fast. Earlier reporting had this in the BOTTOM of the article: As part of the plea deal under discussion, Cohen is not expected to cooperate with the government, one source said. However, by pleading guilty both Cohen and prosecutors would avoid the spectacle and uncertainty of a trial.

That’s probably going to do it. Expect Dotard to come completely unglued now.

Multiple possible Manafort convictions and a Cohen plea deal on the same day?

After they discover my body, the autopsy’s gonna conclude that I choked to death on my own Schadenfreude.

No. It’ll be that guy Ohr at DoJ first.

Very interesting. I can’t find anything on the contents of the plea deal. Where did you see that?

It’s hard to believe he would get much of a break without cooperation, though.

This has been a fairly consistent pattern, seen in the wake of the Charlottesville and various Russia walkbacks. 24-36 hours after he forces something vaguely conventionally presidential through his mouth, the top blows.

There’s too little information yet to celebrate but it seems logical that there would have to be some kind of quid pro quo for Cohen to avoid serious jail time. The real question for me then is who or what he gave up. Not his father in law surely but possibly his idol, Trump? I remain in hope.

Giving up Trump gets him off ten years, Hannity and Trump, 30.
