It seems like so long ago, but was in fact maybe less than a week, that representatives and supporters of pResident tRump suggested that being interviewed under oath by Mueller would be a "perjury trap". The absurdity of that notion is that there is no such thing. The only way it would be a "trap" is if tRump planned on lying. If he tells the truth - there is no "trap".

Earlier this week, former reality start Omarosa played a tape of herself being fired by Kelly. She indicated she has other tapes, and has since then played one of her talking with tRump after the firing. This REALLY seems to have upset the White House. When asked if there was a tape of tRump using the "n-word", press secretary Sanders indicated she couldn't say "no" for certain. A friend on the Book of Faces mused "Why would the president need to be told “no tapes exist” of him using racial slurs if he never used racial slurs?" (thanks David).

In response, the tRump campaign has threatened a lawsuit against her for violating an NDA she signed. There are two problems with that - the tapes in question were not recorded during the campaign; they were recorded in the tRump White House. Secondly, for anything occurring while she was working there, she is covered by the Whistlecblower Act:

Simply put, it is illegal for anyone in the Trump administration to impose a nondisclosure agreement on a member of the federal government that in any way limits that person’s ability to communicate with Congress and expose waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement.

In another act of desperate deflection, they revoked Brennan's security clearance. Much worse, though, is that they are threatening to revoke the clearances of other former security staff if they deign to criticize tRump.

These are all the acts of a stupid desperate petty tyrant, trying to keep his power, influence, and legacy intact. It seems to me to be the signs of his career's death spiral beginning to accelerate.

Soon.
