He is dealing institutional revealers...not new..
........New York Times
........Washington Post.
........entire main stream media...
It ain't smart to take them all on.......
Now the prosecutors who are on the case...well, they are not new either.
They are some of the most experienced and professional in the entire country..
He cannot push them around, or lie to them like he as done others.
He cannot call them names or intimidate them..
This ain't that kind of game..
This one is for all, yes, all the marbles .

(38,421 posts)"Nailing his sorry ass is way overdue" But the nails are being found..lots of them, and the carpenter who has been hired to do the nailing, well he knows how to nail. Trump will be nailed..
but just as important..his crew, like his son, etc..will also be in deep trouble..far deeper than can be imagined..
Reminds me a bit of Nixon, such an arrogant ass. So sure, he could control the events. So sure he could get out without being nailed. And when the nailing got close, Nixon started talking to the walls.......or whatever...
So Trump will be nailed, I wonder when he will figure that out?

(8,998 posts)Grassley is now openly doing his best to protect drumph. Others probably will too, like Ryan who was involved with Nunes's little charade.

(38,421 posts)And they know what they are doing. Mueller brought in someone from New York who specialized in hidden financial dealings with lots of experience. It will be quite a show....

(10,828 posts)I read an article about the NY real estate movers and shakers. It's basically a shark tank in NYC, the players moving vast amounts of money with little regard to laws or ethics or basic norms. They're all kings of their own fiefdoms and it they cross the line? Their high octane lawyers jump in and protect them from liability/accountability. If something goes wonky then fat payouts will make the complainers shut up and go away.
Too bad it doesn't work that way in DC with the Feds breathing down your neck.
Also read just recently that from the Trumpster's perspective everyone is a crook, everyone is out to get you and take advantage. From this viewpoint, anything the individual entrepreneur does to defend his/her interest is perfectly reasonable and normal. Anyone who calls you on despicable, lawless, even traitorous behavior is 'a nut job.' Like Comey and now Mueller or any lowly journalist. Or the rest of us, for that matter.
There's a reason The Great Gatsby has been noted of late. Fitzgerald would have recognized Trump and his cronies and wrote (not in a flattering in way):
"Even when they sink into our world or below us, they think they are better than we are. They are different than you or me."
Oh, yes. Which is why The Great Gatsby is a great American novel. Timeless.
