Donald Trump goes berserk about which of his people are “wearing a wire” as the Feds move in
Earlier today, someone within the DOJ told Newsweek that the Feds have a secret cooperator against Donald Trump within Mar-a-Lago. This makes sense, given that someone had to have tipped off the Feds about the precise location of the boxes of classified documents, the existence and potential contents of the safe, and so on. But why would the normally secretive DOJ put something like this out there?
We were almost left to wonder if someone in the DOJ was going rogue, trying to make themselves look more important than they are, in the hope of impressing a reporter or something. But now we’re thinking that perhaps it might have been a good strategy to force Trump to start looking over this shoulder.
Rolling Stone is now reporting that Trump has dissolved into such a paranoid haze, he’s running around asking if his phones are tapped, and who among his own people might be wearing a wire. Of course Trump should be paranoid at this point, given that the Feds have successfully closed in to the point that they got a judge to sign off on a warrant to forcibly take items from his home. So someone could be wearing a wire.
The more Donald Trump begins questioning whether he can trust his own people, and the more frantically he begins wondering what he should or shouldn’t be doing in response, the more isolated and mistake-prone he’ll become. If you’re the Feds, that’s where you want a barely-stable crime boss as you close in on him. You want him panicking. You want him making unforced errors. And that’s where Trump appears to be.
