Because, as we all know, his past behavior is the best predictor of his future behavior.

(10,120 posts)4. Dec 6 Atlantic article outlines their basis for reporting on the counter report

They cite more than one source.
Giuliani said its been difficult in the past few months to even consider drafting response plans, or devote time to the counter-report he claimed they were working on this summer as he and Trump confronted Muellers written questions about the 2016 campaign.
Answering those questions was a nightmare, he told me. It took him about three weeks to do what would normally take two days.
There are numerous other reasons no response plan has been produced, White House sources said, including the futility of crafting a strategy that Trump will likely ignore anyway. There have also been few frank conversations within the White House about the potential costs of Muellers findings, which could include impeachment of the president or the incrimination of his inner circle. Those close to Trump have either doubled down on the witch hunt narrative, they saidrefusing to entertain the possibility of wrongdoingor decided to focus on other issues entirely. Former Press Secretary Sean Spicer has even taken to treating the probe like a game: On Wednesday he tweeted a (quickly deleted) link where followers could place bets on how many tweets containing #mueller the president will send before the investigation is up.
Attempting to plan would mean you would have to have an honest conversation about what might be coming, a former senior White House official, who requested anonymity to speak freely, told me.
