Man commits career suicide in 30 seconds.
Do it. Let him dig his own grave, please.
I'm thinking this part will be the lead-up to the climactic investigation when the movie comes out..
Guess he's ready to fall on the sword to get the Big Mac now that his safety harness got removed.
Lol well thanks for taking yourself out trump
Can it be televised on pay per view?
Lmao, I bet he thinks he can totally outsmart Mueller and not get caught. It's gonna be fun watching him drown later on in his own lies.
I wonder if he'll bank on settling out of court (as usual) before realizing that in this situation, he can't.
With how rapid this decision was made, I can't help but feel Trump's gonna try something crazy. Like, he's just gonna pull a gun and shoot Mueller on the spot.
I wonder if Trump expects to go in there, say "I'm duh predsidunt" and suddenly be absolved of all guilt
He is gonna go end thinking he is the most smartest person in the room and there is no way that Mueller will outsmart him because he has the best brain and the best smarts. I guarantee it folks. 👌
Part of me feels like the combination of this and Dowd resigning was a result of Trump insisting he testify and "outsmart" Mueller and Dowd constantly telling him it's a bad idea and it just kept happening until Dowd had enough. Though that's just me entertaining the thought, there's probably more to it than that.
heh i like how everyone assumed trump's lawyer leaving meant trump was about to fire Mueller, when instead the result was the opposite and he's about to -help- Mueller. this'll be interesting, assuming tho it's gonna be under oath and without trumps (surviving) lawyers surrounding him
BDA raised an interesting yet highly plausible theory in the other thread; that Trump is about to do something that Dowd continually advised against and where he drew a line in the sand - potentially firing Mueller.
Maybe Trump finally realizes the futility of it and wants out? Nah, he probably thinks he's some slick operator and can weasel out somehow.
Yeah this is a good point and really makes me question just what Trump's hand is to be willing to go in head first like this when everyone around him has advised him not to and have even resigned at this point in the face of it's futility. He can't be that stupid, right?
Lol everyone in the other thread like oh shit he's going to fire Mueller HERE IT GOES HE'S GONNA- I mean testify before Mueller is what I meant, it's a regional dialect
So what happens if he goes in, and let's slip and says something incriminating in the interview? Does the US go straight to impeachment proceedings? How long will it take?
We wouldn't know about it until Mueller reported it to Congress, no one can say when or how quickly he'd choose to do that
What baffles me is that this lawyer supposedly urged Trump not to fire Mueller (per BDA's post in the other thread) but this story implies that the lawyer was the one stopping Trump from speaking to Mueller. In that case, what exactly was the lawyer's plan? Sit back, hope it all went away, and then fight the charges once they (inevitably) arrived? I can definitely see Trump being dissatisfied with that arrangement, because he might see any sort of action as better than inaction.
the best case scenario for Trump is a crib and a diaper, even a full legal team and off-limits questions still leaves the possibility of him just being a fucking moron
This is honestly incredible and the exact opposite of what I expected to see when I saw the headline about Dowd this morning. But... as others have said, if trump wants to dig his own grave, let him.
I know it will probably never happen, but more than anything in the world, I want to hear/see the recordings of this interview. And I want it filmed by the slowmoguys, so I can see the exact second Trump implicates himself, watch his lawyer's souls leave their bodies as Trump carries on oblivious.
I don't think Trump will ever fire Mueller, even through the convoluted way people think he might. There is just too many eyes on him watching for it that not even Trump can believe doing so would be a positive.
Why is it that I can picture the interview amounting to Trump trying to get Mueller to fall for a cartoon'ish snare/box trap? Like, he's going out of his way to get him into it despite it being so obvious that a blind infant wouldn't fall for it?
"I can shoot somebody and not lose voters and I can prove it, believe me"
I'm pretty sure that even if the investigation results in him being incriminated there's no guarantee of an impeachment due to the fact that impeachment is largely political and actually prosecuting a president is... complicated?
I was actually wondering if anyone ever considered the possibility of him hiring a hitman to take care of the "dirty business", Putin style. I wouldn't think it's out of the question at this point. Maybe he'll try to intimidate Mueller into complying.
Not suprised that Stanton Dowd has finger in this
