Think President Trump seems rattled now? There may be more to come
NBC News ^ | Dec. 3, 2018 | Ken Dilanian and Tom Winter

If President Donald Trump appears to be rattled by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation now — and his extraordinary tweets on the subject suggest that he is — just wait.

Over the next few weeks, a series of court filings are due that may shed substantial light on what Mueller has learned from people who once sat in Trump's inner circle.

That could happen as soon as Tuesday, when Mueller is scheduled to file a detailed memo in support of the sentencing of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. That memo would include information about any "bad acts" Flynn committed for which he was not charged, and details about his cooperation with the special counsel.

It's possible that filing will be sealed, which means the public won't see it until later. But on Friday, another filing is expected that legal experts say probably will not be sealed — a detailed explanation of why Mueller's office is withdrawing a plea agreement with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, including the "crimes and lies" Mueller alleges Manafort committed while he purported to be cooperating with the special counsel.

At least a lot of people see how corrupt the govt is now. Anybody who wants to see can.


Many, many just don't want to know. Many leftists, think viscerally, and are not analytic.

Maybe Trump is neither the genius nor risk taker that he's been promoting since he declared his candidacy some 3 years ago.

Strike one against Trump is appointing Sessions, then getting completely reck'd by the deep state plot of the RR -> SC referral that caught him completely off-guard. Maybe he's really not that smart.

Strike two against Trump is failing to initiate action at critical points in his administration, rather than take measured risks in upsetting and turning the tables. Maybe he's not really the risk take he promotes.

Strike three is maybe Trump really is just the promoter he's always actually demonstrated over the last 35 years. His constant Twitter insults, whining & complaining, interspersed with periodic touts, is funny if there is a prospect of victory. But as critical moments are passed that lessen his advantages, the incessant braying simply becomes outright embarrassing.

If Trump is impeached, he really has no one else to blame other than himself. Who else would squander 50% support in a nation of 325m people out of fear of possible civil war? Rather, he allows one side to be vanquished without a fight, handing over 175m to the (future) gulags.

It doesn’t matter jack shite if there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s why it’s out in the open now - this is straight up taunting.

Oh oh, this new “bombshell” sounds like it could be a “tipping point” and “the beginning of the end” Trump must feel like “the walls are closing in” :^)

No army is so strong as an idea whose time has come. Trump represents that idea.

This article shows how the media, the Democrats, Mueller and the deep state are working together in unison to sabotage president Trump.

Two things "rattle" me. Neither involves his treason with Russia directly.

1) His business dealings BEFORE his announcement to run.

2) Russia! Russia! Russia!

I am a little worried about what he had to do to get some of his projects built in New York. Nothing gets built in that city without the right connections and the right people compensated. Think greedy pols and the Mafia.

About Russia, No I do not believe at all that Trump "colluded" with the Russians to get elected but I fear if Trump squeezes the Russians too hard, Putin and his criminal agents are not so above setting up the resources to seem like Trump did. Talk about a "False Flag ' operation. and it will be difficult to defend because the Democrats and their propaganda arm has already set the stage for it a large part of America already believes this so it's not as far fetched as it first seems.

I'd put good money on it that Putin has his agents already putting the final touches on it as we speak.

We must be ready to defend our president as if our own lives depend on it(because it does!)

Note to NBC: That’s not rattling. It’s clanging. But its easy to see why you lot wouldn’t know the difference.

I agree but in their bubble it keeps the useful idiots energized - they actually believe “the walls are closing in”. In some ways I feel sorry for them, their own hate being used as a marketing hook to keep them coming back and being a viewer - propping up their viewership and maintaining advertising revenue. They’re being used.

That said, that they’re so full of illogical hatred is their problem and will also be their source of torment. None of this is going anywhere, anyone foolish and naive enough to believe it will, as desired, deserves all the torment...

They laugh at Qanon but think “Trump/Russia” is real. PDJT is right, without him their ratings would crash. CNN = Conspiracy News Network.

“No Plan survives first contact with the enemy.”

The Democrats are psychic themselves for battle, but they should remember that any president holds a lot of high cards in his hand. Trump can hide Mueller’s report by simply ordering the DoJ not to release. He could also declassify a lot of the underlying documents and make the witch-hunt ovious for all to see.

Maybe he's not really the risk take he promotes. Strike three is maybe Trump really is just the promoter he's always actually demonstrated over the last 35 years.

So basically, you only have one solipsistic, tendentious strike against him, and two nebulous, gratuitous criticisms that could just as reasonably be disdained as entertained.

I think it's probably a safe bet Trump was "out" in your book long before your contrived "umpire" prattle.

When it comes to this subject, the Left is engaged in a collective self-delusion and Leftist masturbation.
