While President Donald Trump praises and simultaneously distances himself from Paul Manafort in public, he’s privately bragging to advisers that the trial proves special counsel Robert Mueller has reached a dead end on the Russia probe and has nothing on his family.
According to Republicans close to Trump who spoke with Vanity Fair, the Manafort trial is “spinning [Trump] into a frenzy” as he gloats that “the only thing the trial shows is that Manafort is a sleaze.”
In his mania, Trump is also feeling more free to attack Mueller on Twitter and has reportedly been empowered by his attorney Emmet Flood to be more free-wheeling in his tweets about the investigation.
“Emmet feels there’s nothing there with collusion, so it’s fine for Trump to comment and tweet,” a source told Vanity Fair.
Trump is reportedly at his wits end with the probe, and wants it over in a couple of weeks. He’s told advisers that he will fire Rosenstein himself if it continues.

Spankee is too stupid to understand that Manafort is on trial for financial crimes (a.k.a. being a sleaze), not collusion, not conspiracy, not espionage.
Let’s let Spankee whirl himself into committing more and more stupid mistakes. The longer he keeps on tweeting and thinking he is invincible, the more mistakes he will make.
Carry on, Spankee. We’re gonna have the last laugh yet.
Come for the collusion, stay for the obstruction!
Yes, well, he may be a sleaze, but he’s your sleaze. Who else are you going to get to run a sleaze’s campaign.
