re: #178 Dr Lizardo

Yeah, just imagine Trump’s reaction if it’s ultimately revealed at the state level that he’s nothing more than a colossal fraud. That he’s nothing even remotely what he’s claimed to be and now he stands exposed as a flim-flam artist before the entire world: everybody pointing and laughing at him.

His ego would implode.

Someone probably told Trump that firing Preet Bharara didn’t erase the existence of his investigation into Trump, and that Mueller would have access to it. That would be more devastating than Comey, because Preet’s investigation was more personal and threatened to expose more… so much more.

Thus the preemptive slam on Mueller, the “self-pardon” trial balloon, the rumors of firing Mueller and now attempting to blame Clinton again (although the Sessions leak is not from Team Mueller, it still fits the overall pattern).

What I’m seeing is someone who now knows he’s in deep, deep trouble and desperately trying to find a way out.
