The Rudy G spin I an effort to Gray Mail the campaign. That would involve multiple agencies in the hopes of limiting disclosure, via stovepipes. Ongoing investigations, etc.

Trump's goal is ratings and attention. All shows get cancelled at some point. He knows his will too.He probably never really expected it to last 4 years but he's hoping for the best Presidential ratings ever! Bigly, Yuuuuge ratings!!

And if pounding the table doesn't work, pound some targets with cruise missiles?

Yes, but. The cretin in the WH has managed to pull the whole issue of his treason/crimes into the part of the field where he has skill--media manipulation, lying, and bullying. He could survive this if it's a PR war. Horror.

Civil War is still treason.

Thinking the likelihood of additional idiots to Trumps side is unlikely-they are already there. We are approaching the end game: Mueller subpoena and Trumps refusal to submit.

Maddow noticed this weeks ago based in who he was bringing in and said he was probably planning on trying to control the narrative and not win a case. Does it matter if only Fox news types buy into it? I hope not.

Trump thinks people are stupid. He’s in for a rude awakening

Makes complete sense. Too much going on though. Hard to believe he will navigate all of his legal issues unscathed.

Rudy sounds like Dersh.
