"Donald Trump is afraid," Rather said Wednesday on MSNBC. "He's trying to exude power and strength. He's afraid of something that Mueller and the prosecutors are going to find out."

"A political hurricane is out there at sea for him, we'll call it Hurricane Vladimir if you will, the whole Russian thing," he said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"It's still pretty far out at sea, but each day...this hurricane, this political hurricane...is building in intensity."...........................

A report Wednesday said Mueller and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) have teamed up in the ongoing investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

If you look carefully at him these days you'll notice he's starting to do the old man thing, starting to shrink in on himself. Almost like an over inflated balloon starting to shrink as the gas molecules escape through the spaces between the latex molecules.

Collapsing into the void where his soul should have been, ultimately vanishing from the universe in a small puff of fetid gases.

On this one I hope you're mistaken.

Black holes attract everything without exception and nothing can escape their field. I'd like to hope he'll just vanish and leave the rest of us alone.

He should vanish softly and silently away. Though I'm sure it will be loudly and viciously, as does anyone who is seized by a Snark.
