Is Trump on the phone with the Republican Senators and Congressmen....?

...attempting to get them to agree to his theft of taxpayer monies to pay his criminal friends?

I suppose he probably is, since they are all on vacation, and near their phones.

Also, I don't expect him to give up his attempt to get $10 billion from the IRS so easily. He will come back with a counter offer. Most of the people in his orbit will do whatever he requests.

First of all, we must acknowledge that it is nothing more than a crime syndicate. People have been murdered in its name.

It is a "come to Jesus" moment for Republicans. They have never had a more opportune moment to stand for something than now, with Trump's approval rating at 32% on the economy. He is not as strong in public opinion as he once was.

But he will cajole, twist arms, threaten, and plea for their support. This Republican Party will decide whether or not they live or die.
