https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/its-time-for-the-rats-to-leave-trumps-sinking-ship/2018/11/19/1720f592-ec3c-11e8-96d4-0d23f2aaad09_story.html?tid=hybrid_collaborative_2_naLike a television show that has jumped the shark, President Trumps frantic act grows more desperate and pathetic by the day.
Asked by Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday to grade his presidency, Trump absurdly replied: Look, I hate to do it, but I will do it, I would give myself an A-plus. Is that enough? Can I go higher than that?
Much closer to the mark is the assessment by Republican lawyer and operative George Conway, the husband of one of Trumps closest White House aides, counselor Kellyanne Conway: The administration is like a s---show in a dumpster fire.
And it is all getting worse. The cravenness, incompetence, corruption, dysfunction, insanity all of it.

....at this time is an attempt to undermine the Mueller investigation.
He needs to break the justice department and the press to go past jail.
