Well, if past behavior holds true, Trump will start hysteria-tweeting in about 10 minutes, as soon as somebody explains the word “deposition” to him.
“I’m America’s Mayor!! Mr. 9-11!”
It seems more likely now than ever before.
Trump will throw everyone, even Barr, under the bus to save himself and Ivanka.
The low-level people who can’t afford $250k+ in legal bills might be most likely to crack; All criminal complicity aside, standing at the precipice of financial devastation simply for being in proximity to criminality is rather motivating.
The lesser people include anyone that isn't Trump and Barr. Everyone else is fair game for being thrown under the bus -- up to and including Trump's children.
Mal: You ever see cattle stampede when they got no place to run? It’s kinda like a meat grinder.
As some one that went to law school and isn’t in the throes of dementia, I can say that this whole Rudy fact pattern would be something a criminal law, evidence, ethics and/or criminal procedure professor would dream up during a crazed fever dream for the exam but would discard as being too obvious and too absurd.
I am loving watching American politics right now. Trump says stupid shit, Giuliani says stupid shit, they implicate themselves and people ‘resign’ after being thrown under the bus. Oh, the drama!
At some point the lesser people involved in this are going realize to it’s their hide that is at risk of being nailed to the wall to protect the likes of Trump, Barr and Rudy.
And so, the list of potential “John Dean”s continues to grow.
Translation: How to move money around and leave no trace.
That’s why I like to think of trump as a singularity of stupid. Everything caught up in his gravity well is doomed - no intellect escapes.
That, or Trumps persecution complex is contagious.
Once again, the Clash were wrong.
“I know you all are going after me. I know what you guys are doing with this.”
At some point, the one sane person left in the administration is going to call everyone into a room and yell “SHUT THE FUCK UP, PEOPLE!” Any person who tries to speak back will just get “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” screamed back in their face.
