Trump is having a total meltdown on live TV.

He is on a rambling rant, sitting with his arms crossed of course, attacking the media, the Department of Justice, Mueller, democrats, Hillary Clinton, and Jeff Sessions.

He is now a shade of orange-red and looks like he is going to have a stroke.

He knows that the FBI is now in possession of damning evidence against Michael Cohen's one and only client: Donald J. Trump!

Which is why he is dangerous. He has extreme views but he has more brainpower in one neuron than Trump does in what passes for his brain.

I think the entirety of the Executive Branch is "way over his head" and he doesn't have anyone around that place that has a clue either, especially since they seemed to eschew working with anyone from Shrub's admin until recently.

It’s always a tell. A visibly defensive posture. Trying to protect the soft underbelly. Doesn’t seem like the posture of a proudly innocent man. He doesn’t act innocent. Even Trey Gowdy couldn’t avoid noticing that one!

I guess it is pretty obvious if even a Repug mentioned it. Obama and team always looked relaxed and it was very reassuring. I still don't know how he was able to make jokes (at the moron no less) at the WH Corres. Dinner when they all were aware that the navy seals were going in to get Bin Laden any minute.

They only do the subpoenas when they have the goods, and know where and what they're looking for.
