re: recent immigration #'s and then printed out their article and presented it to Trump ... apparently in hopes he'd take a dim view of Nielsen's work.

Cause one thing Trump HATES ... is people getting over on him, in any way. Even if he otherwise 'likes' them.

Putin probably has the upper hand because he has the power to destroy Trump easily, as in blackmail.

Great idea you have suggested.

He started being regularly referred to as "president Bannon" and viewed as the power behind Trump. Predictably, Trump dumped him soon after that.

I've been thinking that the party and its shock troops, like Barr and McConnell, are the ones that are disciplined in this slow-moving coup but while volatile, self-centered Trump might be the energy source, he's also the wild card, the Achilles heel. If we can sideline him, the whole thing falls apart. I can see some future hearing where he's the one who spills all the beans.
