It would be pure karma if Trump is ultimately undone by the fact that he treats people like garbage.

We have no idea who is or isn't cooperating with Mueller, but it does appear that the special counsel's office is clearly trying to use whatever leverage it has to get people to spill what they know about others up the chain. We also know that Trump treats people like crap, such that his few actual "friends" often admit that the friendship only works if people understand from the beginning that Trump is focused only on what people can do for him, and not on any actual relationship between the two.

When push comes to shove, I can't imagine that anyone is going to risk a possible prison sentence to protect Trump. Whether it's Manafort, Flynn, Kushner, etc., none of them should feel any loyalty to the man. Hell, I could even see his kids turning on him to save their hides.

I don't know how any of this will end, but it sure will be interesting.

it's as clear as gin that he has no loyalty at all. So somebody who's not only under Trump's bus but is now looking at the possibility of a long vacation at Club Fed might be inclined to drag Trump under the same bus to keep him company.

how he treated Jefferson Beauregard Sessions - how ANYBODY could stay to work for that asshat after the way he spoke about him (even if it WAS all true ).

Seriously, where's your "dignity" - your "manhood" - your "self-respect?"

What a crew.

The next few months are gonna' be very interesting!
