The fear is palpable....and that will be toxic
up and down the Trump regime. There are
probably some (who care for their families
or even just their own skin) who are thinking
of bailing on this conspiracy.

The most telling statement was the White House does not know the required regulalations (for an investigation he will not confirm). Get ready for a ton of I don't recall.

Which he is going to go into full blown stonewalling first. He may recuse himself but he can still manufacture road blocks for investigation. Make no mistake he knows the evidence. This was no leak but a warning shot (from whom?) and the little man was stonewalling ducking for cover.
