Trump Reeks of Fear - By Charles M. Blow
July 8, 2018
I can smell Donald Trumps fear from here. His panic. His anxiety. And yet, I dont have a full picture of what is causing it.
The only people who know what has been discovered in the Russian election meddling probe are Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team, and they arent talking. But President Trump no doubt knows far more about it than the rest of us, and what he knows or what he fears appears to be a consuming preoccupation. He tweets about the investigation constantly.
Part of this is an overt play to bend public opinion, to besmirch whatever conclusions the investigation might reach and to ward off any attempt at a possible impeachment.
As The New York Times reported last week about the president and his legal team:
They have come to believe that, if the Democrats win control of the House in November, the chamber will vote on whether to begin the impeachment process no matter the outcome of Mr. Muellers investigation. So they want to sway Americans and by extension, lawmakers.
The Times quoted Rudy Giuliani, one of the presidents lawyers, as saying, Nobody is going to consider impeachment if public opinion has concluded this is an unfair investigation, and thats why public opinion is so important.

Somehow I doubt it though. He feels he is above the law.
Heck, after his next SCOTUS Pick he may be.
