Why Trump won't admit the truth about wire tapping, plus....
He won't admit the truth about wire tapping, he continues to trash the intelligence community and the FBI, he attacks the justice system, he has gutted the State Department and installed Kushner (Kushner!) as de facto Secretary of State, he never stops trashing the media, and he continues to repeat his many other obvious lies over and over, never admitting the actual truth.
Why is he doing all of this? He knows he is caught.....he knows the evidence will be almost airtight......and he is desperately flailing away in a panic, feverishly conjuring up any tactic and strategy he thinks may have even a slight chance of working (and every single one of his tactics and strategic moves will have only an exceedingly minimal chance, at best). The situation for him is to either succeed in his tactics and strategy or go to jail.....he has nothing to lose in making the effort.
He demonstrably lies over and over because he has to get his herd of followers conditioned to believe the lies he will soon tell to try to keep himself out of prison. He needs these people to believe total BS, hoping to cause a public uproar over his being treated unfairly, and he may incite them to violence if push comes to shove.
The wire tapping episode is in his mind setting up a defense, a key component of which will be to blame Obama and his associates (i.e., the Obama-ites hatched this phony plot to destroy him).
He trashes the intelligence community and the FBI because he knows that they are the evidence collection entities that will expose him. He cannot have his herd of sheep believing the evidence presented by the intelligence community and the FBI. His plan, of course, is that he hopes that this will work as an offshoot of his supporters being conditioned to believe lies. The situation with bashing the press is similar.
He gutted the State Department to remove its ability to act in the best interest of the country, and to consolidate his power. Now he has his family and fellow travelers (Kushner, Bannon, et al) as the inner core, ready for action if necessary.
Yeah.....he knows that he will have to tell some outrageous lies, and have them believed by masses of people.......especially his followers....a group already conditioned to believe that the FBI and CIA are both incompetent and plotting against him.
You may remember how Trump raged when he heard that Sessions recused himself. Hmmmm......that rage was the rage of a caged animal losing one of the weapons he had hoped to use in his quest to maintain his freedom.
Last, his effort to attack the justice system is part of his effort to delegitimize any upcoming proceedings, which he knows will not be kind to him.
Here's a funny possibility:
What if we eventually find out that Melania was a Russian plant?
All the commentators at least outwardly are seemingly dumbfounded at Trump's repeated lies.....they're always trying to figure out why. Down deep.....you know that many of them agree with most of my points....they just don't feel comfortable saying it at this point in time. I cannot think of any other reason Trump is acting this way, and I've heard nobody else mention a plausible alternative.

It's a kind of perverted over emphasis on Gibbs' Rule 6: "Never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness."
True strength always allows the ability to recognize when one is wrong and work to atone for it. Trump's ego is huge, but ultimately hollow, because he knows none of his bombastic bullshit is reality-based. His great fear is being exposed as the empty suit that he is.
Note: If you watched NCIS over the years you know that Rule #6 was eventually modified to include a "not between friends" clause.
