    You'd think a guy who claims to be a billionaire would pay a lawyer who wouldn't lie to him. But then paying (or often as not, not paying) people to lie to him is how Trump got to where he is.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-at-a-precarious-moment-in-his-presidency-privately-brooding-and-publicly-roaring/2018/08/04/4b463842-9736-11e8-810c-5fa705927d54_story.html …

        Anyway, rather than reporting on Trump's delusions, I'd love to see the story that says, "Here's what Trump advisors think he'll do when Junior gets indicted." Bc that's what I really want to know.

        For his part, Junior will excuse entering into a conspiracy with Russians to get Pop elected bc the agreement to conspire happened before everyone was crazy abt Russia. (He made this excuse in his SJC testimony IIRC)

        You're analyzing this backwards. You have to look at it from the lawyer's point of view. Lawyer can either tell Trump the truth creatively (ie, lie) and get paid, or tell the truth and be terminated.

        What do you suppose is Rudy's reason for that? His quid pro quo? Is it self-preservation?

        Only a 72 year old man With a mental age of between 8 and 12 years And the strange ability to live only in the moment. Always. Has the capacity to deny his impending doom. On a moment to moment basis. Tweet by tweet.

        He's too arrogant to put up with advisers who tell him what he should do. Therefore, he won't hire experts. Now here he is .

        Trump got to where he is by insulting a selection system worthy of insult. That was a fundamental truth that he told and some went with it. As I've noted, fast cancer, slow cancer, why have to pick one?
