Trump is powerless as his legal fate spins out of his control

President Donald Trump may no longer control his fate, a plight that helps explain his increasingly volcanic Twitter eruptions.

Trump's persona -- in politics, business and life -- relies on his self-image as the guy who calls the shots, closes deals and forces others to react to the shock moves of a master narrative weaver.

But as a legal web closes around the President, he's in a far weaker position than he would like, a situation especially underlined by the bombshell revelations that White House counsel Donald McGahn has spent 30 hours in interviews with special counsel Robert Mueller.

The president's former campaign chairman has been found guilty on 8 counts in one federal courtroom, the president's former lawyer is pleading guilty to 8 counts in another federal courtroom.

Step one The blue wave is enough for the R's to loose the house.

Step two Trump says fuck it and quits

Step three Mike Pence now that it will not count as his first term accepts, pardons Trump and picks either Paul Ryan (his choice) or either Jared or Ivanka (Trumps choice) as VP

Step four Trump hopes that he has does nothing in NY and he can be charged with by the Manhattan DA or NY AG for which he can NOT be pardoned

And Melania goes to a shithole country, alone of course.

THE BIG IDEA: First lady Melania Trump, who has appeared increasingly emboldened to assert her independence from President Trump, referred to the concept of a “global society” twice on Monday, as she decried cyberbullying in the morning and when she announced plans last night to travel to Africa without her husband in October.

Melania Trump declares her independence, again, with solo Africa trip

Can't wait to see what Trump Tweets during the night. I'm sure he's pacing the floor while foaming at the mouth!

I can see tomorrow's game plan from the right already:

1. Ignore everything and push the fact that Mollie Tibbins was murdered by an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT
2. If pressed say Cohen is a liar who is lying about Trump to save his own ass
3. Manafort not convicted of 10 of the 18 charges. More than half! Innocent!
4. Also Manafort really didn't do much while he worked for Trump
5. STILL no evidence of collusion!

Finally the walls are closing in on the mob boss in the Oval Office.
And mob boss is exactly how he's responded so far. Like saying White House counsel Don McGahn won't be "a rat" like John Dean (translation, he'd better not "rat.") In Trump logic, testifying to the TRUTH under oath or before a special investigation makes one "a rat"... that is, when it's testimony that might incriminate TRUMP. (Can you spell "obstruction"?)

Meanwhile:

NYT conservative columnist Bret Stephens calls for impeachment—Trump clearly guilty of high crimes

Let's be clear: Trump paid off his affairs "for purposes of influencing the election."

Trump became [white house occupant] by criminal conspiracy. Let that sink in.
