I'm trying to wrap my head around Donnie Boy right now.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

As we speak, he's tweeting out his email that points to the Trump campaign's collusion with the Russians.

Does he just think he can do it because he thinks Dad will pardon him?

Didn't this man just hire a lawyer? Wouldn't any lawyer advise against this sort of thing?

I no get.

1. Distract! Distract! Save Jared*! Distract! Distract! Save Jared*! Distract! Distract!

Rinse and repeat.

2. Or Donnie sees himself being sold down the river as he knows his father well and aint taking it.....

[d_r]

3. He isnt acting alone

This is planned out. They knew shit would hit fan and they are trying to get ahead of it and say it is no big deal and just old news.

5. I don't see that helping all that much. IMHO. nt

12. New york times

Was going to publish it.

4. The lawyer blamed Team Trump for asking for the info

[frazzled]

6. Like father like son (or the apple doesn't fall far from the tree)

It's called stunning stupidity and lack of impulse control and understanding.

There may or may not have been legal advice (if so, it would have been not to share). But Trumps don't seem to listen to advice, and he was clearly too dumb to realize that the content of the emails was in no way exculpatory, but rather very damning!

7. Apparently only after he knew the NYT had them

He wanted to release them first, to look "transparent." He just looked stupid.

His new lawyer must be shitting bricks.

8. He knows he's going down. He's taking Prince Jared with him.

Do not doubt the strength of sibling rivalry in dysfunctional families, especially those raised under malignant narcissism.

9. he is a memeber of a crime family who is shocked to find out stuff they do is illegal

he has been brought up to understand that the normal laws do not impact the very rich.

he has faith in his lawyers cause they will get him off cause that is what they always do

10. Images of people fighting to get onto Titanic's life boats

Throwing aside anyone in their way...

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. These people are amateurs who don't even know how to surround themselves with smart advisors.

[FSogol]

13. His ethics:

Rich = Right
Poor = Wrong

Therefore, anything him and his family do to increase their wealth is legal and righteous. His proof is their bank account. In his mind, he's winning.
