The circular firing squad: Mueller targets turn on each other

After Rudy Giuliani's latest comments, it’s everyone for themselves. And it's a prosecutor’s dream for the special counsel.

Rudy Giuliani sent an unmistakable message Wednesday night: It’s everyone for themselves.

During a CNN interview, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer blurted out that the only person he knows about who didn’t collude with Russia was Trump himself. Although Giuliani tried to walk back his comments on Thursday, the remarks put the sprawling web of people caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe on notice: no one is coming to save you.

“Ya think!!!” one former Trump campaign official wrote to POLITICO when asked if Giuliani was trying to protect the president at the expense of everyone who worked for him.

The Team Trump infighting has been a prosecutor’s dream for Mueller, opening up an ever-widening window into the behind-the-scenes workings of a rookie politician whose campaign has been under investigation for years. The special counsel and federal prosecutors have already benefited from the internal sniping, flipping Trump’s former lawyer, national security adviser and campaign chairman.

Bickering and backstabbing were Trump world trade marks long before the former businessman launched his White House bid, from the real estate mogul’s decades of private business dealings to his years as a reality television star.

1. We won't know for a long time after this, when all the books are written...

but I can't wait to find out who all has called up Mueller's office and offered information freely. Donnie's been a corrupt piece of shit his entire life - toxic narcissists like him have a fatal flaw, and it is that they think so little about other people, they never realize that they are leaving behind individuals who will be motivated to take them down.

2. I bet Mueller loves this part

That last stage of the investigation where everyone is implicating everyone else, witness proffers start arriving hourly, and nobody wants to be the last one out of the pool.
