Is this from someone “familiar with Trump’s thinking” or just someone pulling an opinion from their nether-regions with wishful thinking?
This time, Trump is really really scared because the walls are closing in. The beginning of the end for Trump.
If you were Trump, would you not consider: “They wouldn’t dare refuse to hear the case would they ?” Of course you or anyone would.
Raising the possibility does not mean you’re worried about it, but the mere thought is enough for someone to verify he is worried about and gleefully spread it.
