You know we are heading to a Trump "mistakes were made" speech.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He is going to throw all his underlings under the bus and say he was unaware of what was going on. However there isn't an Oliver North who will take one for the Gipper.

They will rat him out.

[underpants]

1. From him?

I doubt it. Plus, he is so short staffed there's no one to replace them.

[leftstreet]

2. Godz, I can't wait to post on DU: "Remember Donald Trump?"

Followed by several rolling on floor smilies

[wiggs]

3. If he had won the popular vote or if his current approvals weren't historically and

spectacularly low, that kind of speech might work.

But everyone is going to be backing away from him...and there are lots more Russian shoes to drop, and his attorney general has to recuse himself in all of them. As one periodical said...he should be cutting deals right now while he can.

[enough]

4. He will not say that. NT

[WinkyDink]

5. He for sure can't give an "I am not a crook" speech!

[iamateacher]

6. I was an elementary school teacher

And one of my favorite observations was....They always rat each other out.
Since that seems to be the mental age of this bunch....

7. That's what Nixon and Reagan did, only Reagan pulled it off

Likely because he had a reservoir of good will and loyal subordinates.

10. Reagan famously said...

"A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not."

8. Trump does not have it in himself to say that mistakes were made.

He has zero character. I am still not convinced he'll be brought to justice-watching and waiting.

9. Maxine predicted impeachment. Feinstein predicted resignation. nt
