29. Or the lies reflect something on his mind, something he is concerned about.

So we know he is thinking about his passports right now.

In terms of the "temperature is getting hot" statements, Trump is saying what he was saying on 1/6.

-I have the power to raise an army if I don't get what I want.

-I have the power to burn it all down if you come after me.

-And I have the power to shut down the rebellion if you back off.

-I am powerful and you need to be afraid of me.

When the FBI is working on a big criminal case, the surveillance, raids, etc., are in part designed to make the crime members get paranoid, to make them make mistakes or start making deals with the FBI. They want the criminals to start getting buggy.

I am not sure who Trump will be talking with right now.

Usually the crime ring is talking to each other to get stories straight, change locations of the loot, or other plan changes. Reassure each other.

But Trump typically feels invincible, so not sure what he is doing. But I did think he sounded a bit wobbly yesterday and today.

He could be calling Jared and Ivanka. Jared is the most likely suspect to flip on him. Jared I think was the money/bagman conducting the deals. He would for sure give testimony about Trump to save his own skin.
