Have to assume that Mueller is being very cagey - well cloaked & much in stealth mode - and lots of very well thought out redundancies in the securing & back-up of all “smoking guns” and dramatically incriminating evidence.
When the wheels do go in motion - fully expect that Mueller will have thought 12 steps ahead & have all the exits blocked & multiple levels of back-up in place.
Essentially - by the time Trump becomes aware that Mueller has all the pieces lined up - it will be too late - he can try to fire Mueller - but Mueller will have anticipated that & by that point the total exposure missile will already be out of the silo & locked on to Trump & Pence & the whole ship of criminal fools.
Is Trump actually addressing a real “violation”? It sounds like he is making up a rule or law on the fly where there is not actual violation. For the personality type, that seems about right to me. All bluster when cornered with no effective counter.
And yep, that is what it is. I am sure Mueller is intimidated at this point.
That’s the thing about the law, it doesn’t require his belief in it.
The legal system works slowly at times, but I am confident Trump will go down and will be prosecuted for numerous crimes after he leaves. And most likely convicted or pleading out.
Likewise, he does have shame…he lives in constant fear, every day, of the shame that comes from being exposed as a complete fraud and not wealthy. That is why investigations into his finances are going to be particularly delightful to watch.
Remember when the GOP would say actions like this are an admission of guilt. Not to mention he pretty much says that he does not make money from Russia but may make money from Russia. The guy makes no sense at all.
I doubt anybody would care if he sold stuff to just random Russians. The issue is money for influence. Or use in illegal activities.
When he uses variations on “people say” it’s a mish-mash of what he may have picked up from Fox mixed up with his own internal wanderings. Thus his constant projections of guilty behaviors and the constant denial, even when he brings the topic up. He really is an open book…ok, a comic book.
Listen to the audio. It’s full of tells where he pauses until his processor unit spits out a new distractive lie. He’s constantly faking the throw and thinks the interviewers will run off chasing the ball he’s hiding in his other hand. The interviewers have it figured and keep feeding him lines that he’s constitutionally [(o:] unable to stop himself from riffing upon.
When I was listening to the snippet NYT posted last night, I could hear the subtext in every comment the interviewers made. That subtext was “Keep digging idiot”.
conceived or appearing as if conceived by an unrestrained imagination; odd and remarkable; bizarre; grotesque: fantastic rock formations; fantastic designs.
fanciful or capricious, as persons or their ideas or actions: We never know what that fantastic creature will say next.
imaginary or groundless in not being based on reality; foolish or irrational: fantastic fears.
I certainly find what he says to be fantastic and unbelievable.
Jeepers, why is he talking to #thefailingNewYorkTimes, the Gray Lady of the fake news lame stream media? And still he won’t get no respect…Proceed, Mr President…
