Donald Trump will never let people screw with him, and he has a very long memory.
He has an awful lot of cards to play here. Since the stories about the NSA/CIA surveillance and unmasking first broke about nine months ago I have had a wild theory in my mind about what has been going on since then. I won't post it here because it's totally outlandish and flies in the face of all the "conventional wisdom" we've seen on the subject from conservative quarters. But I've been right on about 90% of the things I've speculated about this story since January, and the other 10% may simply be too difficult to confirm because of the nature of the process and the people involved.
One thing I'll leave out there is this: Robert Mueller is not operating from a position of strength. In fact, he is very much on the DEFENSIVE in many ways.
Trump has looked at the 100’s of unjustified unmaskings and illegal leaks. I’m sure he is appalled as any American would be. Sessions and Coates just wrote a letter to Congress asking them to permanently reauthorize section 702. Part of MAGA is making sure the abuse doesn’t happen again. I’m not sure what this admin can do to prevent abuses in the future, but they have to do something.
