      Goal is not getting away with it. Goal is all short term: get a few good headlines for a few days, gets some talking points Fox can chew on, don't worry about consequences. Keep Trump happy & keep pushing on.

          Yes. The theory of the zombie presidency. Each week is one more tottering shamble. Been that way especially since Manafort was buying time until the midterms.

          In some sense, it worked, as Trump’s approval rating has not budged much.

          Sadly, that's a sound strategy. He's been playing the clock his all criminal career.

          we’ll see, kind of think they think they can get away with it.

          Given the gravity of much of it, I think they'll take what they can get, up to and including getting away with it, but the short-term news cycles and making Trump happy are OK, too.

          I don’t think that means the goal isn’t to get away with it. It means the goal is to get away with it one day at a time rather than there being a long term vision for escaping accountability.

          Pump everything through the partisanship meat grinder in a hyper-short cycle to give you a 35% floor... and therefore paralyze Congressional Republicans into inaction as to not rile primary voter base.

          I wonder if there were specific actions these people knew Trump would take if Barr didn’t cover for him at the time, and if so, how horrible were these actions?
