Just now on Rachel's show, a representative - I didn't get his name - was discussing his attendance at Ambassador Yovanovitch's deposition today and said (I'm paraphrasing only a little) "You cannot work under the threat of the tweet of damocles" That is brilliant!!!

(38,458 posts)Very scared.. Trump & Gang think they can ...."get away with it""" whatever "it" is..
I recall clearly that there was a 15 minute gap in a "Nixon Tape." Evidently a very telling conversation was erased by someone. Guess what?..didn't matter a tiny bit..Most of the gang went to prison for a while, and Nixon was forced to resign, even though a week or so earlier Nixon said, " I won't resign" (yes, I still have a newspaper with that headline in the basement) August 1974...
Trump like Nixon got away with most of the sh*t.. Not this time. This time the fear is real. A storm is coming the likes of which Trump has never seen. And that storm will destroy the "Trump Name"..forever..Trump may not end up in prison, but most of the crowd will. Who knows who?? I think his sons will.
Just as important in my opinion is the similar thinking of Nixon and Trump.."I can get away with anything, no matter what "anything is."
Most important, ...time is not on Trump's side He and his gang cannot wait it out. Some of the gang is already in prison..Wait...a lawyer for Trump..Is he sitting in a prison right now?? Yes indeed. right now.
