    If what’s already transpired is any measure, there’s literally no way Trump can prevent himself from breaking the very, very few rules they have given him to follow in this case. It’s part of why he is struggling to find new legal counsel, because very few want to represent someone who does so many self-incriminating things on the daily.

      he wanted to give some classified information, but instead of just handing them a document and saying “here’s that thing you asked for” they literally have him on tape saying ‘this is classified, I know it is, I could have declassified it but I didn’t, now I can’t, it’s totally classified and I’m not supposed to have it and I’m definitely not supposed to show it to you so don’t look too close’. Dude is terminally desperate to feel cool and important and it’s quite literally gonna land him in federal prison.
