Won't the Steele dossier become public if DOJ goes after him?

And, won't the Dems get to ask him really really embarassing (for 45) details about 45's behavior?

Is this really a bad thing? Could this completely backfire (like most things 45 does) on 45?

I'm no legal expert, but it seems to me that if he's questioned, everything he says is fair game and ripe for the reporting???

would allow his office, the DOJ and all the men and women of the agencies under his control, to become the plaything of Trump's mad ego.

There will never be a trial because Trump and all his ill begotten kith and kin could not withstand what would be revealed under discovery. This is Trump's new reality TV show, he the star, the producer and director, and his minions happily will do whatever he tells them to

Trump just denied it. Like usual. Back when his schtick was "new" to the low-info voter, that worked.

9. Right. But hearings would allow it all to be examined and legitimized, with sources and evidence.

That would remove the deniability. Only a complete lunatic would bring that on himself.


Oh, right.
