FAFO 🐊

 Kyle Cheney, noting Trump’s “Truth” tirade against Gen. Milley:

One question I have about Trump’s overnight attack on Milley: Is he on the government’s witness list for Trump’s DC trial? He was a key Jan. 6 committee witness who said Trump privately admitted losing the election.

George Conway comments that Trump is “just so mind-bogglingly stupid,” because in so many ways Trump opens doors for people to testify against him, and then gives them good reason to.

There’s an argument that republishing all the crap Trump spews is helping Trump. This is the counter-argument. Kristen Welker was lambasted over her “LOOK AT ME!  LOOK AT ME!" publicity stunt of an interview, but it’s now also acknowledged Trump threw away his “reliance on counsel” defense in that interview. Day by day he eliminates any reasonable doubt in his criminal cases.

Cheney wonders if Milley is on the witness list because there is a standing order against Trump tampering with or intimidating witnesses. Again I’ll note that Trump has never been in a criminal trial in his life, and he has no idea how to cope with it. He’s also of the lifelong opinion that any publicity is good publicity, and he constantly seeks attention.

That driving principle has turned toxic, and it’s soon going to prove punitive. 

He’ll find out.
