OOTB's Political Thread . ..

Is it any wonder that 45 has been agitated this past week or so . . ? Not really, as the pressure of having to deal with SC Mueller in his investigation has increased in massive amounts on the POTUS. The bizarre and countless attacks via twitter is a sign that he is aware of the walls that are closing in . .
From the article linked:
It is hard to say what’s causing Trump’s current Mueller meltdown. But if reports are true that he and his lawyers are working on answering written questions from the Special Counsel, that probably has him especially on edge. One question in particular poses a huge dilemma for Trump: Did you know in advance about Don Jr.’s Trump Tower meeting with the Russians? Obviously, he did. He likely authorized the meeting and got a read out right after it. Why else would he have dictated the bogus “adoption” cover story? Why else, in the days prior to the meeting, would he have promised explosive information about Hillary to come out shortly after it? And Mueller no doubt has additional evidence of Trump’s foreknowledge (from Gates, Manafort, Cohen, phone records, etc.).
Now, Trump has to decide whether to admit the obvious, or continue his obstruction and denial. If he admits it, he risks (a) implicating his son in perjury for lying to Congress; (b) incriminating himself in a scheme to obstruct justice by concocting a bogus cover story about the meeting; and (c) providing direct evidence of his intent to conspire with potential Russian agents. If he denies it, it will likely provide an open and shut false statement case to Mueller on top of whatever else they have on him. I’m not sure how his lawyers will try to thread this needle, but I predict some sort of lawyered up version of an evasive “I don’t recall.” That won’t be credible either coming from someone who once boasted of having one of the “great memories of all time,” but it’s probably the only place he can go other than simply refusing to answer. Regardless, he’s in a box and he knows it. So he’s lashing out.

"The bizarre and countless attacks via twitter is a sign that he is aware of the walls that are closing in . ."
I was just wondering how this is a red flag when it's basically his MO.
Makes perfect sense. So the folks responsible for the dossier are sweating too since they conspired with Russians?
This is another reason why I am certain that nothing will happen to Trump! They ALL buddy-up with whomever they want in order to get ahead, have some kind of leverage, whatever. They're not going to blow up the game board just to bust Trump!
You are correct, sir! By all means, proceed.
“Ms. Trump did not create a private server in her house or office, no classified information was ever included, the account was never transferred at Trump Organization, and no emails were ever deleted,”
Because locking Ivanka up for her email transgressions means the skank that ran for president will get the electric chair for the depth of hers. I'd make that swap and call it another win.
Obviously I was sarcastically making fun of the fact that her dad literally campaigned on the email scandal.
But hey I’m fine with that trade too
Still stupid on her part. Would send a helluva message if he told her "You're Fired". Would be funny as hell too.
Of course it was stupid. What was even worse was how she said she didn’t know the rules when she got caught. Literally the exact same thing Trump made fun of Hillary for doing. We’re really supposed to believe she didn’t know the rules after hearing her dad rant about it for like two years?...
Let’s not waste the taxpayer money on incarcerating her though. I volunteer to teach her a lesson.
Paddling her with a seamstress tape will do nothing. She needs to come to my woodshop.
I don’t know what a seamstress tape is but I do have a belt.
Hello secret service. We’re only joking.
Are we talking about ****ing Ivanka now? That’s some politics I can ...get behind.
Well I know you are behind two of us already
Nope. I had the idea first. Check the time stamps.
I sound filthy rich? Hell yea boss.
It probably wouldn't be a long wait.
The line will move quick after I’m done. But she might not want to leave...
It's said she does have quite a sense of humor.
