Why Is Trump Freaking Out Now?
May 21, 2018 at 12:10 pm
Jonathan Chait: This weekend, the New York Times revealed that, in August 2016, Donald Trump Jr. met in Trump Tower with representatives of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who offered campaign help The deeper question is how closely related the Gulf story is to the heart of the Russia question. Was it just another one of Donald Jr.s legal misadventures? Or did Nader, Prince, and the Gulf States play a central role in facilitating a corrupt deal with Russia?
Trumps furious lashing out, including his reckless escalation of a crisis with the Department of Justice this weekend, provides interesting clues. Trump has no poker face, no chill. The closer the investigators get to incriminating evidence, the more intensely he rages. He resembles a suspect at a crime scene screaming at the police not to go into the attic. And now that attic is looking awfully interesting.
First Read: Dont get distracted that reporting of a second Trump Tower meeting in 2016 was the biggest news from the weekend.

Maybe next week or maybe next month. But I believe it is only a matter of time. They will go into that attack, and boy...what will they find there...a whole damn lot......

Same thing I guess.
