Mueller has a roadmap and the end game is nigh
President Trump is unhinged because Michael Flynn knows everything about his ties with Russia and he’s talking

It was a fine, sunny morning in Washington, D.C., yesterday. Over at the White House, the president was up early rage-tweeting about the acquittal in San Francisco of an illegal immigrant charged with killing Kate Steinle, charging that the verdict proved that “The Schumer/Pelosi Democrats are so weak on Crime that they will pay a big price in the 2018 and 2020 Elections.” A few minutes later, he was tweeting that the Senate tax bill, which had just been shown to add more than a trillion dollars to the deficit, was “getting better and better.”
A couple of hours later, downtown at the federal courthouse, federal marshals measured former White House national security advisor Michael Flynn for an ankle bracelet and put liens on his houses after he pled guilty to the federal crime of lying to an FBI agent. Flynn thus joined former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos on the Mueller cooperation train, making the jump onto the caboose just as it was leaving the station.
Trump appears to be coming totally unglued over the last three or four days. Cable news shows and newspaper editorial pages were overcome with distress over Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior. There were reports that in private conversations with aides, Trump had returned to questioning President Obama’s citizenship. He was said to deny the voice on the Access Hollywood pussy-grabbing tape was his — this after apologizing for his comments on the tape during the campaign. He was said to brag constantly about his many “successes,” which aren’t apparent to any vertical human with a functioning prefrontal cortex, and the fact that he won a majority of women’s votes in last year’s election, which he didn’t.
This produced dueling theories among analysts: One theory had him completely “divorced from reality.” “The truth is worse,” said the Washington Post, positing a theory that Trump was brilliantly creating an organized plan of so many lies nobody could possibly follow it, thus discrediting reality itself and the mainstream media along with it.
