Donald Trump’s lawyers are telling him something’s going on.

It makes sense. His lawyers can’t exactly work out of Mar-a-Lago, not when everything else is happening in Washington, especially all that’s happening with Bannon, Meadows, et. al. Trump’s people are going to want to know what they’re doing and vice versa.

So it would make sense that Trump would have them come down to Mar-a-Lago when Washington essentially shuts down for 4-5 days. It is even conceivable that when Trump summons his attorneys during Thanksgiving he might even say yes when the attorney asks if he can bring his or her family with them. Might.

Having his attorneys in Mar-a-Lago, or – at the very least, not in the office and having to take phone calls at home or whatever, Trump likely heard some things. A lot happened last week. Rulings. Burner phones. Trump has some problems.

We saw a bit of it when he wailed away about Woodward’s book and “starting a war with China,” which seemed to be far more about “I was not crazy and was not starting a war with China,” than it was a rebuke of Woodward and Costa.

Tonight’s second message just wreaks of a panic attack. There is no need to put this out, none, and yet it feels like it was done and out in 30 seconds, a random thing that’s really scaring him. ‘Wonder what it could be?

“I view the story being concocted by the Unselect Committee about the so-called insurrection of January 6th (actually, November 3rd!) the same way as the Democrats’ Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, now fully debunked and discredited!”

NEW!

President Donald J. Trump:

He sure gets a lot of mileage out of that Russia, Russia, Russia, thing when even the Republican Senate Committee found that his campaign advisor was shuffling critical internal information to oligarchs connected to Putin.

Oh, right, and let’s not forget that stuff about the burner things, there, chief. There was that and all the documents you don’t want to hand over (meanwhile, the court wants the parties to address whether the court can even hear the case at all, never mind protect Trump), yeah – all that stuff is settled, totally debunked, no reason that you wouldn’t have heard some scary stuff this weekend, none at all.

It is all so settled and debunked that you worry about it even less than Russia, Russia, Russia, and that’s why you had to say later in the day on a holiday weekend.

Happy panic attack, “Sir.”
