diGenova and his wife Toensing were due to take the field.
They are among the most extreme right legal operatives not
yet disbarred, crowbars creating a plausible scenario to dislodge
Rosenstein, Sessions, and Mueller. Trump volk have signaled they
prefer Trump evisceration of the rule of law, to rule of law itself.

Trump acts guilty.

Mueller contacted Trump's lawyers to negotiate an interview with him a few days ago.

The closer Mueller gets to Trump, the more hysterical and desperate he seems to become.
 
The power couple, 1998....right wing extremist Op, redux,
Trump not even pretending to act like an innocent POTUS.
Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused

“They have been on the tube or quoted more than 300 times since
the story (Monica Lewinsky) broke a month ago....”

This is the last refuge of the cornered guilty,
shouting and pounding the table! Rather early in the game to
resort to it, because if it is perceived to be ineffective, even the
pretense of legal conduct by the POTUS and his henchmen will
be abandoned.

We are witnessing acts of desperation of a POTUS who knows that the special prosecutor has him cornered. In that desperation, Trump will sacrifice our democratic institutions to stay in power.
 
So the FBI framed Trump? Haha, that's a good one. In order for that to work the FBI would have had to get the entire American intelligence community on board, along with Dutch Intelligence and the Australian ambassador. And yet somehow nobody from any of these institutions has blabbed their nefarious plan. That's a good conspiracy!

You know, I'm actually a little surprised that I still don't yet fully understand what could happen if Mueller concludes Trump is guilty of something. Right now the breadth of my understanding of this is still in line with the common wisdom, which is that all Mueller can really do is recommend impeachment to Congress. Where this belief fails is that it doesn't fully explain why Trump is quite this hysterical. If impeachment is all it came down to then Trump could rest easy knowing that any impeachment attempts would fail at least by the time it reached the Senate. And yet Trump and his defenders are completely apoplectic.

But what if the unthinkable was actually a reality?

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation has gathered enough steam that some lawyers representing key Donald Trump associates are considering the possibility of a historic first: an indictment against a sitting president.

While many legal experts contend that Mueller lacks the standing to bring criminal charges against Trump, at least two attorneys working with clients swept up in the Russia probe told POLITICO they consider it possible that Mueller could indict the president for obstruction of justice.

Neither attorney claimed to have specific knowledge of Mueller’s plans. Both based their opinions on their understanding of the law; one also cited his interactions with the special counsel’s team, whose interviews have recently examined whether Trump tried to derail the probe into his campaign’s Russia ties.

“If I were a betting man, I’d bet against the president,” said one of the lawyers.

Donald is the classic case of the boy who keeps screaming, "I didn't do it. I didn't do it! GOD DAMN IT I DIDN'T DO IT!!"

Yeah, none of us with any sense believe that kid. He very likely did it.

Maybe the reason trump is panicking is because he is afraid of something being revealed to the public that he considers scandalous.

Uh, I think that train left the station a long time ago. Trump's Presidency can be defined as one long, uninterrupted scandal. Trump has lived his entire life reveling in scandal. If he's this apoplectic then it may mean that something a lot worse than mere scandal may be in store for him.

Something that either ruins his brand, or counts as a loss.

Mueller has the power to prosecute crimes, as he has done already. If there is reason that Trump committed obstruction of justice, he can be prosecuted. I do not believe the first remedy is impeachment.

CW (and precedent) says that a sitting President can't be prosecuted. Might the shattering of this precedent be possible? It certainly doesn't seem likely, but then, not very much from the past two years has been what I would call "orthodox."

This is a sign of desperation from Trump who knows he is guilty and is probably wetting his undies at the prospect of being found out as a criminal and as a traitor and go down as the single worst president in the history of the nation.

Yeah, the hoverboard scene w/his son. He crashes into the clock tower and says, I was framed.

Not yet disbarred????
This would put them miles ahead of the Clintons wouldn't it?

I was unaware that either of these people were facing disbarment, would you supply a link please?

Why are they calling this an interview? It’s testimony, not an interview. Gee whiz!!!

He spends more time protecting himself than he does the country. He's a national security risk and has gotta go.

He'll go down as a skid mark in the anals of history...if he doesn't flatulate the planet first.

And that is an insult to skid marks. ;)

Brennan was right in his tweet over the weekend. He is a threat to our security and in the thrall of the Russians.

He is a corrupt criminal and is either one small step away from being a traitor or he has already crossed that line. Mueller and time will tell us which.
