re: #59 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

They are convinced that they can bluff and bluster their way out of it. After all, it has worked just fine for them to date

Trump as well. He’s never been in a position where there might be unavoidable, unpleasant consequences for him. Reading the Wolff book, it’s clear that Trump assumed once he became president, he’d automatically become popular and unassailable. He gets very angry when it’s clear he is neither very popular nor all-powerful, and Wolff describes the lengths the staff goes through to keep Hair Furor from going ballistic on a daily basis.

It seems they have him convinced that the Mueller thing is merely an inconvenience, no big deal, and he goes along with it.
