In reply to the discussion: Trump Goes Into Hiding After Paul Manafort Flips [View all]eleny
(46,166 posts)19. I'm imagining a couple of White House scenarios
One is a war council on how to deal with all this. The Giulliani statement this morning was a damaging dud. Like Maya Wiley said - bad lawyering. So now what? Who does Tramp huddle with to devise a plan? A delicious mess, imo.
The long knives could be out, too. I can see his daughter and son in law plotting to throw people over the side to save themselves. And the two brothers huddling with their respective allies to do the same. After all, Eric wasn't at the June '16 Trump Tower meeting. He could be the last one standing or spend the least time in prison if he plays his cards right.
This stuff reads like one of the classic Akira Kurosawa samurai films.
Just my 2¢.

I've always seen Eric as the one they all hang their shit on, to make him the fall guy.

He folded himself into his neck and is now just a furry ball of corn silk slinking about the WH.

Good, but I suspect his protectors took his phone. He'll catch up with a shitstorm on Saturday

He doesn't go there in the summer; he golfs at his resort at Bedminster, NJ
