Interesting how Trump always ordered someone else to do illegal acts for him.

[Kablooie]

He would never do them himself because if it is exposed he could always blame someone else for the crime.
"I never told McGahn to fire the Attorney General. He did that on his own."

1. And lucky for him it seems...

Half the time they just simply didn't do it!

I love the part about how he told Lewandowski, who didn't even work for the administration, to tell Sessions what to do or tell him he's fired. Lol.

Here's a conversation you know happened more than once in the White House hall:

"Hey kid go get me a sack of cheeseburgers and some chicken nuggets."

"Uhm I don't work here sir I'm just delivering a package for fedex."

"Do it or you're fired dammit! Don't you know I'm the motherfucking president?!?"

2. He's been doing that for decades, so lots of practice

[marylandblue]

3. Standard Mafia tactic.

[NacLeeFF]

12. Was gonna say.

[kentuck]

4. Even when he fired Comey, he waited until he was in California...

...and tried to prevent him from getting on the plane to come back to DC.

5. Watch for a major

Purge to the White House in the coming days. Limpballs and Donnie Too Stupid are planning their messages as to who the targets will be.

Going to get real ugly for those who Limpy targets. And there will be a staged major distraction in order to change the News Cycle .

6. This and I also think he is just a COWARD. He can't even fire people for fucks sake - even as a

private citizen.

7. You'll notice Barr came out first...

With the “no collusion, no obstruction” claim.

That makes Trump able to say “I was just going by what I was told”, but Barr could actually be in legal trouble for making the claim initially.

That’s how Trump is able to lie, and seem like he’s not lying to his supporters.

[Kablooie]

10. Trump probably believed that.

He certainly has not read the actual report and has no idea what it says.

[world wide wally]

8. You have to give credit where it is due.

He is a certified expert at skirting the law. He even phrases everything as if he is defending himself in court. He never makes a direct statement except to attack other people or to shift blame.
I guess that comes from years of practice

9. Paulie hated phones

[GeorgeGist]

11. Roy Cohn maxim

[Karadeniz]

13. Il Capo doesn't do the grunt work.

[TwilightZone]

14. Well, yeah, it's plausible deniability.

It's actually a good strategy from his warped standpoint, which is clearly why he does it.

[triron]

15. Tthat is still a crime. If I order person a to murder person b You don't think I will be

prosecuted?
