https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/seems-plausibleNow, Trump has to decide whether to admit the obvious, or continue his obstruction and denial. If he admits it, he risks (a) implicating his son in perjury for lying to Congress; (b) incriminating himself in a scheme to obstruct justice by concocting a bogus cover story about the meeting; and (c) providing direct evidence of his intent to conspire with potential Russian agents. If he denies it, it will likely provide an open and shut false statement case to Mueller on top of whatever else they have on him. Im not sure how his lawyers will try to thread this needle, but I predict some sort of lawyered up version of an evasive I dont recall. That wont be credible either coming from someone who once boasted of having one of the great memories of all time, but its probably the only place he can go other than simply refusing to answer. Regardless, hes in a box and he knows it. So hes lashing out.

All the bullshit Trump used to get away with in civil court and small claims court isn't working now, and he's starting to realize it.

(22,031 posts)All of Trump's previous legal experience has been in non-criminal courts. Plus, the legal oppositions he faced in the past were most likely not as skilled or as well-funded as are Robert Mueller's team and the NY Attorney General. He's boxed in and he's running out of options.
I've hated Trump since the early 1980s. Watching him being taken down will be enormously satisfying.

(33,643 posts)Being huddled down with Lawyers on Monday is likely an additional reason he didn't bother to show at Arlington on Monday, and had basically no public agenda Tues or Wed (aside from giving a stupid, lie-filled interview with a White Nationalist Website).

Holy hell is going to happen when Donald Junior goes down. And that douchebag is going DOWN.

I guess this is why Melanie has been pretending to like him lately as well. She actually feels sorry for the poor, stupid schmuck.

Not that she deserves it, but it WILL be fun to watch.
SergeStorms
(19,193 posts)She's just biding her time, and living up to her pre-nup and non-disclosure agreements. She's really no better than Little Donnie. Here's a Yahoo story about some book coming out about Trump's wives. Her chapter(s) are very informative about the "worst lady" in the White House, or so I understand. I haven't read the book, just the article about it. Enjoy!

(5,810 posts)Are ludicrous on the face of it. So now tRump is struggling with which door to open. There really are NO good options. He will have to sacrifice someone or something no matter which one he chooses. This is new territory for him since he is used to things going his way or buying his way out of trouble. I can only imagine the wheels turning and squeaking inside his noggin as he pisses and moans how to get himself out of this mess. No wonder he has been having a sad.
The good news for the rest of us watching this debacle keep unfolding is that Mueller has lots more news to hand tRump and to the public. I have a feeling that tRumps agony is just getting started.
And our celebration at his demise is in the planning stages. Is it too soon to talk about dancing in the streets?? 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂🍾🥂💃🕺🏼💃🕺🏼💃🕺🏼🎉🎉🎉🎉
