Trump made the phone call soon after the Mueller hearings.

I'm clear, I can call anyone and ask for help now for my re-election. I can get away with it. That is exactly what Trump thought.

Trumps arrogance may have caught up with him this time. We will have to wait and see how big this gets. We have to hope Trump made a big mistake that can be proven this time.

Cohen was right when he said Trump speaks in code, sends signals. Trump is careful on the phone and he writes nothing down. Trump probably thought asking Ukraine for help was something he could get away with. Trump is slick enough not to threaten people on the phone. This protects him, however no one is perfect, no one is invincible and lucky forever. Maybe he made a big mistake this time and there is proof.

1. I heard it was the day after

I actually think it was a minute after the words "poor optics" came out of some talking heads mouth because Mueller looked old. You know he was watching

The media was telling Trump he could get away with anything
