White House: Trump Isn’t a Traitor, Just an Egotistical Idiot

Doesn't explain much of anything.

Now it comes down whether the GoP stands behind such weak tea bullshit.

Wait, I'm not following. What's true for the most part? Those talking points I listed above?!?!

That was the defense given by his White House aides to explain why he acted like he did yesterday. A successful impeachment on treason is an entirely separate matter altogether.

Those talking points are bizarre nonsense already peddled too often by MSM to the point they've been accepted as "true for the most part". Don't fall for the propaganda by buying into his narrative. Once you recognize that he colluded and is still actively colluding the reasons for his actions come into perfect focus:

• A number of people who’ve discussed election meddling with Trump, including current senior administration officials, say his brain can’t process that collusion and cyberattacks are two different things.

Yes he can. He just refuses to recognize the cyberattacks because then he'll have to do something about protecting America from future attacks and retaliating against Russia. Why would he do that when he's depending on Russia to secure future victories for him and retaliation would upset his Russian handler?

• Trump seems constitutionally incapable of taking anything Mueller finds seriously.

No, he obviously takes everything Mueller finds all too seriously. That's why he's sitting there raging on twitter against Mueller like every single morning.

• He views the entire exercise as a “witch hunt” cooked up by Democrats and Deep State conspirators to undermine his election win.

This is his fully intentional strategy in order to de-legitimize the Mueller probe in the eyes of his supporters and loyal congressional lapdogs so he can escape accountability when Mueller recommends his charges. Since he's guilty, he knows Mueller's got all sorts of stuff on him.

• Ego prevents him acknowledging the possibility that any external action could have interfered with his glorious victory.

No, he's refusing to acknowledge cyberattacks interfered because then he'll have to act on it. Ditto 1st excuse above.

Where's your brain?
