It's always been difficult to imagine what it takes for anyone to sidle up to Trumpy and do his bidding, but now it's more likely that Trumpy's deepening troubles are incentive for people around him to distance themselves and not come back. There is no way that Trumpy skates out of this, and anyone who is around him now had better look out for busses. The urge to get out has to be getting insurmountable.

And since he knows he's in WAY over his head, he's just going to get louder and more aggressive.

The smartest and closest thing to 'face saving' he can do is resign, although I think we all know that's one thing he will never do.

This isn’t going as Putin planned. So Trump may think he has little to lose in firing Rosenstein, Mueller, etc. He’s probably a lot more worried about Putin and his own personal consequences than about the politics of this (how his actions could sink Republicans).

Should never have won. Should have asked Russia to make sure he didn't win. RNC should have found a way to kick him off the stage.

All of this predictable.

I suspect he's frightened of other things discovered as a result of access to Cohen's papers and files.

Being called to accounts may be the thing that frightens him most.
