Haberman: Sources close to Trump say he's angrier than he's ever been, thinks this is really Mueller

Two tweets, a few minutes ago:






Trump is angrier than he has been at any point in the many fuming news cycles, according to two people close to him. What that ultimately translates to is unclear.







But both Trump and Cohen believe this is really Mueller and that farming it out to SDNY was a fig leaf. Both sources say that this has crossed the "red line" that Trump laid out for Mueller going outside his purview in intvw w @nytmike @peterbakernyt and me last July

of having the SDNY US attorney handle it, while supposedly Mueller was actually directing the raid.

My bet is on the FBI having figured out the massive money laundering scheme Trump and Cohen have been running for decades. That is imho.

It's possible he did not, as his ass has been covered his entire life, until now. This makes me think that he really IS deluded, and not merely a bag of hot air (which he is).

Firing Sessions, Rosenstein or Mueller won't make what they have learned disappear.
The truth will out. Trump has to know his time is almost up.

His thug-strongman Cohen has all his skeletons going back years and years. The Russian collusion, the NDAs, the criminal tax evasion, the illegal international deals, the money laundering, the pee tapes, the sex tapes, basically EVERYTHING, is now in the hands of the FBI.

She once again pushes this "red line" garbage that she herself invented and injected into the bloodstream of this story. Perps don't get to tell prosecutors where the lines are. Haberman is running interference for Trump.

Some people in the press will never learn. "YOU" aren't the news. You don't make the fucking news. You, if you are doing your fucking job, REPORT the news. Stop inserting yourself into the story, Maggie
