New Time cover (bound to trigger Trump):

Quote:

Trump has traded the anguished Hamlet Comey for the adamantine Marine Robert Mueller, the Justice Department ramrod who remade the FBI after 9/11.

12. Trump is unhinged he knows his dark secrets are being exposed.

I am convinced he wants out and Bob can provide him a way out. Do you resign or wait it out? Can the President go broke while in the White House? What happens when your foreign money dries up? Can you survive politically when your followers are the willfully ignorant like your self? Who goes first top to bottom or bottom to top?

In the end no one makes Trump a deal as his world is decimated. The grim reaper is at Donald's door. It has to be somebody else's fault.

13. Will Robert Mueller Separate Fact From Fiction?

In Washington, the 'first law of holes' is one of those shopworn maxims that are so familiar, they need not be spoken.

It's like what you should do if you want a friend in the capital:

'Get a dog' goes without saying.

But maybe things are different where Donald Trump came from. And maybe that's why he didn't know what to do when he found his young presidency in a small hole involving contacts between
a few of his underlings and Russian officials.

Now he's learning the local folklore the hard way. The first law of holes is, if you're in one, stop digging.

Three times, Trump heard assurances from former FBI director James Comey that the Russia investigation wasn't aimed at him. Instead of putting his shovel down, though, Trump worked it furiously.

According to Comey's sworn testimony, Trump pushed the G-man for a public exoneration, and when Comey demurred, he may have pressed his case with Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers.

Unsatisfied, he fired Comey in ham-fisted fashion, then reportedly boasted to Russian visitors that he did it to take pressure off the investigation.

Now he's in the hounded condition of various predecessors:

struggling to regain control of the agenda, lashing out at aides, shouting at television sets and peppering his dig-the-hole-deeper tweets with all-caps exasperation.

He blames his enemies, but guess what? All Presidents have enemies. Successful ones try to outsmart them.

Trump's own actions have turned a small hole into a yawning abyss: a special counsel's investigation that could run from the Oval Office to Trump Tower and command headlines for the next year or more.

Trump has traded the anguished Hamlet Comey for the adamantine Marine Robert Mueller, the Justice Department ramrod who remade the FBI after 9/11.

As special counsel appointed in the wake of the Comey firing, Mueller has one job, no deadline and bottomless resources, and he is assembling an all-star team of veteran prosecutors whose expert backgrounds go beyond counterintelligence to include money laundering, corporate fraud and the limits of Executive Branch power.

It was tempting, as the wheels of another Washington investigation accelerated away from the station, to say that we've seen this all before, though never with a protagonist quite like President Trump. In his outsize personality and unmasked audacity, he's making it clear that this all-too-familiar story has roots much deeper than even the most shopworn Washington lore.

It goes back to the Greeks, who understood that the peril of kings was hubris, and that hubris was an invitation to the avenging goddess called Nemesis. In Robert Mueller, Trump may have found his.
