Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump looks -- and is acting -- rattled and encircled by the Russia investigation. And a series of fresh disclosures on Tuesday show there is every reason for him to feel threatened by the vast shadow it is casting over his life, business and presidency.

Newly unsealed court documents detailing special counsel Robert Mueller's activity reveal an investigative field of breathtaking scope and a prosecutorial machine that ratcheted quickly up in mid-2017.

The search warrants targeting Trump's ex-personal lawyer Michael Cohen offer a glimpse of the covert world of the probe. As is often the case with Mueller, they give only a tantalizing hint of the wider, yet still hidden, puzzle.

But such disclosures are almost never good news for Trump.

There is enough to explain from Tuesday's reveal why the investigation must be weighing on Trump's spirits, and driving his angry Twitter outbursts.

The vast breadth of the investigation by various jurisdictions also could offer a rich seam for Democratic House chairmen should they eventually subpoena primary evidence uncovered by Mueller and other prosecutors.

1. t-rump thrives on rage . . .

chaotic, chaos, turmoil, misinformation, lies, untruths, fabrication. t-rump enjoys emotionally hurting people, especially opponents, especially people who don't agree with his shallow self desire to be the "greatest" at everything.

Yes, he and Russia are in cahoots in destroying democracy in the USA. And yes, the Republican party helped and are still helping.

If this revelation drives him, his family, the present administration and cabinet, plus the GOPs more bonkers, good.

I fear he with the GOPs are going to do harm to USA (violently).

2. I wish that at some point, the Republican party abandons him.

Perhaps some could be doing that now; that a few leaders of the puke party are not supporting Trump. But we will need more than a few to be successful in defeating Trump. Like Nixon, getting rid of Trump will take a bi-partisan effort.

3. This makes sense in this light:

Trump knows the truth and the extent of his crimes.

If he knows or fears that Mueller is aware of the truth and extent of his crimes and has the evidence to back it up.....he has to lash out

The dozens of tweets over a short term this past week are significant in this light IMO.

He is deflecting and distracting

4. Another factor could be affecting Trump.

He finally has realized that Mueller and his team are very best around. That they will get him, and his gang. Not maybe, or if, or perhaps, but the Mueller team will bring Trump down. Trump has never been up against such a group of dedicated and experienced people determined to find out all they can about Trump's illegal activities. It is like an a local soccer team somehow goes up against the World Cup Champions. Since some of Trump's cronies have come down, maybe the idiot in charge finally realizes he cannot escape the eventual outcome. He is going to lose, and lose in a way he has never experienced.

5. Good point. He has trouble facing competence

And his lawyers, family and staff are a bunch of fuck ups

For example: Cohen was his lawyer for what 11 years? Now trump says he was a crappy lawyer.
I guess it took him awhile to realize that

[ScratchCat]

6. It seems everyone has a theory

as to what caused the Trumpburst over the weekend and Monday, so I'll go ahead and give you another one:

Remember the phone call with "faith based media" and the church visit? IS something about to drop that would rattle that support? Like connected the to the Elliot Broidy abortion-payoff scheme? Why Trump got Cohen involved with him and Hannity has still not been explained, and the only rational explanation is "women issues" for both.

Anyway, its probably the totality of his predicament - no escape.
