.. and respond to his greatest hits like "we are the super-elite"... its his version of putting his head in the sand to live in the echo chamber with the only fools who can't see the end is near.

Best probable case: we win the House; hold hearings; make a case for impeachment. The Senate will likely not convict.

He's not going to cower. He's going to attempt a counter offensive. He'll get a special prosecutor for Hillary - whatever he can do to deflect and distract. He will also pardon where he sees a benefit.

I'm hoping State's Attorneys in places like NY and MD start parallel investigations against Manafort, DJ, Eric, and other members of the cabal. He can't pardon those away. I also hope that many people sue.

It's their last defense mechanism against being locked in the West Wing with him when he gets bad news.

I can't say I blame them, really.

fastidiously,
