it's going to be staggering how much he knew and how much faster and easier it would have been had he just sat down for a few days and simply revealed it all, up front.
Instead, by pretending that he could somehow use potus's admin for his own personal gain without getting caught, Mueller had to play cat and mouse for years.
But the worst of it is that the GOP senate knew about most of it and knew he was concealing and they helped him do both.
What.A.Total.Dumbass.

(82,849 posts)My viewpoint is that Trump just makes or breaks his deals and then moves on. If you're still preoccupied with the past, that's on you, loser. Trump is a winner, winner, winner, no matter what happens. The Trump University scam was one of the few times he actually got nicked and had to pay out some real dough. But that was more a matter of expedience than anything else. If he hadn't been elected, he'd probably still be drawing it out, trying to wear down the opponent.
His career has been built on screwing people over then moving on to the next mark. The notion that he might actually be held accountable and even criminally liable for his lawlessness doesn't have a real hold on his mind or what passes for his conscience. Accountability is tantamount to harassment and persecution for Trump, and it's not fair to demand that he answer for his crimes. Why are you all still so preoccupied with ancient history?
When it all falls apart, the most surprised man in the United States is going to be Donald J. Trump.

(53,410 posts)Its gonna have to be an extended limited series. Maybe even a full season or two titled The Trump Era: How Democracy was almost destroyed.
It will become required viewing in High Schools in the Sophomore and Junior years along with Civics.
The Trump Era will become a elective Major in college and will entail the history of Hate groups, American Terrorists, the rise and fall (hopefully) of the 21st Century Tea Party and MAGAmovement. Included will be the evolution of gun ownership from hunting and militias to mass murder of children in schools.
