> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Yeah, this is so annoying… the way he wants to create suspense for his big reveal. He seems to think he’s still on a reality TV show. He did say we will be disappointed when he finally reveals the truth, which I expect will be along the lines of: “I had a tape and it absolutely showed that Comey is a liar but when someone (not me) tried to take it out of the cassette player it got torn and then someone (not me) spilled diet coke on it but I still know what it said and that totally vindicates me anyway”. ---

Nah. He’ll play the tape, but it’ll just be “Bandstand Boogie.” ---

Given Trumps uncanny ability to step on his own dick, I expect something along the lines of: “I never said there was a tape, I just said there might be one in order to threaten Comey because he’s a bad, unfair man, who would not pledge his loyalty to me.” ---

He can’t release it because he is still being audited. ---

He’s not going to explain anything. He’s going to say, “I never said I had tapes; I said I hope there are no tapes.” Except he won’t use a semi-colon because he doesn’t know what those are. Then he’ll call it fake news and blather on endlessly about how the media keeps making up stories about him. Mark my words. ---

If the travel ban was to prevent some notional “bad hombres” from getting in the country, isn’t it way too late for that? I mean, the ban was announced months ago but never implemented. Lord, the number of sleeper cells in-country must be enormous by now. 2. If the purpose of this travel ban was to allow some government department or other to review visa approval procedures, how come this could only be done under the circumstances of the ban? Is the administration trying to claim that a procedural review was somehow impossible without the ban in place? One has nothing to do with the other, that I can see. ---

And it’s as if he doesn’t realize that you can well be innocent of a crime and still be guilty of obstructing an investigation into it. It’s almost like those are two separate crimes. A lot of people don’t know that. Nobody knew investigations were so complicated. ---

I am getting the sense now that he’s going to fire Mueller and try to stop the investigation once and for all. It’s now out there that Trump is possibly facing a criminal investigation for obstruction. Trump is once again where he was at various stages of the political campaign and where he was financially in the 1990s. He’s desperate. His back is to the wall. He’s a wounded lion and he’s going to lash out to defend himself and his family enterprise. The question is, if this goes down, does he also end up having to fire Rod Rosenstein as well? I think Rosenstein would be very reluctant to damage his professional reputation by signing off on what would be perceived as the most egregious case of wrongful termination in American history, or at least since Archibald Cox’s dismissal. But maybe Rosenstein crumbles under pressure the same way that his cabinet has. ---

I think Rosenstein would rather be remembered like Elliot Richardson and William Ruckelshaus, not like Robert Bork.
