I think he has put all his associates everywhere at risk of scrutiny at the very least.

What's his power in this case? Does anyone out there know?

6. I don't but think this is just a ploy. Barr (and by extension, Trump) had no problem

with Mueller testifying. This means, Mueller has nothing to truly incriminate trump. (or Barr would have known that and known he should be protecting trump).

Ergo, Mueller will not be our savior. Time to move on and focus 100% on protecting the vote in 2020.

Meanwhile, trump approval at 46%. They say, he can win with 45%. (ironic as it is).

but I think he could derail some of the Trump narrative that he was "totally exonerated". That may even help the 2020 vote.

It seems obvious if you look at polling that with each day, stomach for more on "this" is over.

5. He's afraid of anyone having much higher net worth or social power than him.

Everything is economic competition to people like him. Power's function is to destroy those that are "less than".

They even marry and attach to churches solely to improve their odds.

I think that's what it boils down to in the entire GOP and world-wide right wing in general.....

12. 45's perception of fear is likely as primitive & base as the rest of his cognition.

On the level of a lizard running from away from a push-broom (not to denigrate lizards).

He’s spent his entire adult life suing this, that and the other, and being counter-sued as well. He’s also never had to clean up his own messes, someone’s always been there to handle the difficult shit. So there’s this “desensitized addiction” to chaos in his everyday life.

He knows how to torment and hector people, but he can’t take much in return, and once again, he’s marooned in that self-referential loop, wherein he can do no wrong, so there’s no reflection, no learning from mistakes, no forward motion.

Does 45 have any fear the law, or of breaking any law? Consider: 1) he’s never gotten into anything his lawyers and accountants couldn’t fix; 2) he’s the freest person in America (right now). If anyone else acted in their workplace the way he does, they’d be canned on day one.

Nothing scares Donald Trump more than the truth. He is deathly afraid of the truth being exposed.
