This is a shiny distraction to buy time. tRump is not especially familiar with the past and is probably going on gut instinct. He will try to get rid of anyone he thinks is coming too close to breaking this wide open.

I believe he has made things much worse for himself. He might get a short term gain out of this ....very short. Once it sinks in what he has done, more people will not be satisfied with his answers. He is in for a very rough ride and he might want to read up on Nixon's fall. It's always the cover up that trips them up.

Pull up a chair. Pop some corn. This whole thing just got velllly interesting.....
