"These are just words"

“Toward the end of the book, an earlier quote from Mr. Trump kept coming back to me, unbidden: ‘These are just words. A bunch of words. It doesn’t mean anything.’” https://t.co/94ltZWaGKH

Tump: The whistleblower "should be revealed" and lawyer should be sued "maybe for treason."

Lawyer for whistleblower sent WH a "cease and desist" letter *yesterday* for Pres Trump to stop calling for whistleblower to be identified and stop "rhetoric that may endanger" him or her

A)  He thinks he is the State.

B)  He has no idea what "treason" means, but he knows it's a "bad word," so he flings it about freely to shock and prove his courage.

C)  He doesn't care, or consider, that he's proving the lawyer's point.  Trump is the only person who matters.

And he doesn't know whether to shit or go blind:

Trump said on WH lawn moments ago: “I don’t want to give credibility to a corrupt witch hunt. I’d love to have Mick [Mulvaney] go up frankly.”

NOW: Impeachment investigators say Mulvaney told them "one minute" before he was due to testify that the WH ordered him not to appear.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PIVOT ON IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY:

10/23: GOP lawmakers temporarily *shutdown* a closed-door deposition & staged a sit-in in secure area to demand public hearings.

Today, Pres Trump at WH says: “They shouldn’t be having public hearings.” He added, it’s a “hoax.”
