Plot Twist: when this is all over Rudy is gonna claim he intentionally implicated Trump in all the crimes in order to get the Democrats to impeach him. See folks, he really IS the hero in all this!

I mean with all the poo poo he's said with freely screaming out damning information in live interviews, that's almost plausible.

Edit: I mean that there are crimes and he wants everybody to know. Not that it's a trap.

In a way, that assessment is right. Trump has been escalating bad behavior and cleaning house of everyone that speaks up or is uncomfortable. He’s trying to surround himself with true believers such that he becomes untouchable. The only problem is that you start to surround yourself with the people that have bad cognitive dissonance that can’t interpret any of the data that they’re getting. See Devin Nunes suing his own cow.

Also, I believe he meant perfect with regards to the call in that it perfectly conveyed an implicit quid pro quo therefore, in Trumps mind, “perfectly” legal.

Now it's ridiculous of course. No matter how bad he is, this won't happen. He may steal the next election (he's def trying) but he won't be in 8 more years.

However that doesn't matter to his narcissism. He honestly believes he can make it happen if he tries hard enough and is testing how his base reacts to it.

He may start to believe it. His Republican approval remains high because the people that don’t approve of him become independents like Justin Amash. He may also believe that the overall poll numbers are erroneous and be really does have 52% approval. Or add 10 points to that.

It's a mycrimes server where every document creation, view and edit is recorded and audited. They classified this poo poo at the level literally used for stuff like "We have a spy in Pyongyang, his name is Clutch Volvo, his social security number is 111-22-3333, his full report is as follows..."

Their complete and total misunderstanding how anything in the government actually works strikes again. It's almost beautiful

Gutting the cia would do jack poo poo for this, at this point he'd have to gut the nsa and dia which who even knows if Trump knows who runs them or what they do. There's also a bunch of letter agencies specifically dealing with digital concerns that are definitely involved now that I 100% guarantee you Trump has never bothered to find out about.

Is there any way to delete these documents from the server? It has such sensitive information that I imagine there are countless backups. It’s essentially the same system that got depicted in Mission Impossible where only a select few have access from a very specific number of terminals right?

Can you fault him? He's toast once he's out of office and not protected by the government. The only way he see's himself weathering this is to just stay president forever.

Question: Does Rudy saying he’s not acting as a lawyer wave any ability for him/Trump to claim any sort of attorney/client privilege when he’s called to testify?

Like he already claimed he has recordings of phone calls with Ukraine people. So can they just subpoena that poo poo and he doesn’t have grounds to refuse?

It's not so much that the documents are immune to deletion, it's that the documents are now bound to a detailed and unimpeachable paper trail. They can still be deleted but there is no way to delete them quietly, whoever performs the delete will have their name attached to the record of that act and will immediately become a target of the investigation on top of whatever career consequences that might entail.

Overall identification as Republican (and Democrat) has been downtrending. I think it’s down below 33%. It’s tough to say how much of an effect is related to Trump versus overall dissatisfaction.

Sure, but we're already seeing Trump and co pivot to "oh it's nbd, we just classified all of his calls." Which they'll probably use as a reason for why they can't declassify everything and why we'll just have to trust them when they say that the calls were all above-board, honest!
