Trump concedes

Not that he says the word.

He just threw his people under the bus.  What a surprise.

Somebody explained to him the legal and political shithole he just dug for himself.   He may have feared he was on his way to a 25th Amendment ousting.*  He should still face impeachment.






Of course, Trump is lying again.


...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

*  DeVos resigned.  


Also...
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were among the Cabinet secretaries who discussed the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump, three sources told CNBC.

They determined the process of elevating Mike Pence to the presidency could take more than a week, diluting its effects.

[...]

Second, it was unclear whether the three secretaries serving in “acting” roles without Senate confirmation would be able to cast a vote. Third, they had concerns that forcing Trump from office could further stoke tensions among his base and make him a hero of the far right, doing more bad in the long-term than good in the short-term.
