This evening Special Counsel Robert Mueller formally recommended that Donald Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos be sent to prison for up to six months, which is on the harsh end of the sentencing scale for someone who has cut a plea deal, and who only pleaded guilty to lying to investigators. With yet another one of Trump’s co-conspirators now on his way to prison, it becomes increasingly clear that everyone is doing down, including Trump himself – and suffice it to say that he didn’t take the news particularly well.

Not only did Donald Trump have to deal with the prospect of being inched closer to a prison cell, he also had to deal with former CIA Director John Brennan appearing on MSNBC tonight and ripping him a new one. So much for the notion that Trump’s decision to revoke Brennan’s security clearance might intimidate him into shutting up. So naturally, Trump had a rather bizarre meltdown.

Trump began ranting about DOJ official Bruce Ohr, the latest target of his rage and phony conspiracy theories: “Bruce Ohr of DOJ is in legal jeopardy, it’s astonishing that he’s still employed.“ Trump went on to spell the name of his wife Nellie Ohr incorrectly; he’s been ranting about her all week, yet he still can’t get her name right. He then proceeded to accuse them both of a number of fictional crimes, while somehow combining the words “astonishing” and “that” into one big word, before deleting it and trying again.

Donald Trump then went on to attack “BLANK Jeff Sessions“ – whatever that might mean. Trump then ended with this weird sentence: “So when does Mueller do what must be done? Probably never!” He didn’t bother to specify what he wants Mueller to do. Trump is flailing in all directions, as everything closes in on him more tightly than ever.
