He can't find principled attorneys willing to indict his political "enemies" .... so he uses fake attorneys with makeup artists+pro photogs cuz appearance is everything. Substance, not so much. Comey+Letitia James will win if their fake indictments ever reach court. Trump's losing (his mind)

What is the endgame of these utterly lawless #ICE Gestapo actions? It is to set up a culture of fear IN US CITIZENS eligible to vote. It is also the same destabilization tactics that military intelligence officials like #MikeFlynn wrote about & used in Iraq, Afghanistan & other target populations.
