1. Trump has monopolized the TV during his #USStateVisit to UK this week.

Conclusion:

1. Vol 2 indicates the Trump has a pattern of trying to
2. influence people  in his entourage when they are involved
3. in criminal investigations by Congress.
4. I found this quote by James Comey
5. …in 01.05.2019 Opinion, New York Times

7. can’t resist the compromises
8. …necessary to survive this president.”

12. “the boss loves you”,”hang in there”
13. “thanks for what you do”, ” stay strong”

17. ….he is suddenly a RAT.
18. What will happen now?
19. I agree with Robert Mueller:
