About Trump, you're right. He seems to purposedly do everything he can to get further discredited. Which imho could only mean he needs to be the top news story all the time at all costs, or that he actually wants to get out of this gig. The third option, that he really is that stupid, I can't yet fully believe.

Give the winning a chance guys.  Pathetic.

He's made a small fortune off being President, and can leverage it into many more small fortunes.

But, people are saying mean things about him - which bothers him - and he has no idea how to be President, which embarrasses him when people point it out, causing people to say mean things, which bothers him.

He can't quit. Then he would be a "loser." But if he is impeached it is because he was a "winner" - and all the Washington insiders and the fake media were jealous of his winning - and he can leave Washington a martyr in the eyes of his faithful, a winner in his own mind, and most importantly a winner financially.

So, I predict he continues to contradict members of his team who are trying to protect him and to ramp up the stupid and reckless behavior, up to and including shooting someone on the street in NYC or at Mar-a-Lago if that is what it takes, until articles of impeachment are drawn up. At that point he will make a calculation - hire lawyers and fight it knowing he will ultimately be removed but fighting anyway if he thinks fighting adds more value to his brand - or resign if he thinks that will add more value to his brand.

He's done. He's just lighting fires until the inevitable happens - articles of impeachment.

Thoughts?

Facing business failure some years back, getting rescued and funded by Russian money, in exchange laundering money and acting as their agent. Not that I think this is likely, but some things would support that. (His bizarre acts, Trump's son's statements, investigation in the Treasury Department.)

If this turns out to have some merit to it, it could very well be obstruction of justice. Those of you at home may remember that obstruction of justice was what Clinton was impeached for. We shall see if it plays out. I called Goodlatte's office yesterday and asked the question of "if there is merit to the claim that the president asked Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, will the representative consider impeachment proceedings?" I got a very non-answer, which is what I expected, but still. If there is obstruction of justice then there should be impeachment hearings.

I look forward to hearing more from House Oversight now that Chaffetz has requested the documents.
