Just A Taste Of The Cragged Heights of Crazy
.....................
I do think of some pretty crazy things. But, I try to keep things reasonable here, so you won't see things like these:
* If you, like Michael Cohen, were going to prison anyway, wouldn't it occur to you that you could fake retribution against your former buddy, the President, convincing everyone you really do think he was the devil. But, because you'd built up your credibility by calling him a racist, nailing him as unfaithful, and such--what everyone already knew, or would soon know, you gave yourself the space to deny things like the trip to Prague in '16--the necessary keys to collusion with Russia, the things that would really send the Trump administration into a tailspin. Very clever. This occurred to me because Cohen had previously admitted to being in Prague in 2002; but now, he says he's never been there. That got me thinking.
* A week ago, when Vice President Pence was in Columbia, to confer RE: Venezuela, it occurred to me that a really desperate president might try to get rid of his #2, somehow staging an incident. Without a vice president, Republicans in congress couldn't possibly impeach their leader, handing over the presidency to the next in line, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Meanwhile, naming a new vice president could be stalled, due to things like back-ground checks. The president could, by then, put someone on the ballot for 2020, and ride out the rest of his first term without a #2.
Told you they'd be crazy.
